in his lab secretly making something?

honestly the order in which they come out doesn't bother me as long as they keep working on/producing these masterpieces.

[Bidoofdude]

Can't wait. ;)

[MayzaPrime]

I am very interested to find out the size? Will BB be taller than Frenzy/Rumble

[Trent]

Can't say I doubted BBTS. They're pretty reliable with these things.

Should be the same size the art feather one i think .. just a little shorter then prowl ... cant wait to see the actually figure ...

[tinyJazz]

I see a little silhouetto of a man.
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango.


Back to reality. Is it just me or is this 'sneak peak' sooooo underwhelming. TakTom cut the crap & give TF fans real prototype pictures. Better yet, Wheeljack (MP-20) rather than Bumblebee.

[Ultra Mackness]

I'm hoping that he comes with some cool accessories like maybe Chip Chase and/or Sparkplug. If he's a smaller vehicle but listed at the same price then fingers crossed there will be some extras.

[High_Q]

Aw yes! Please be a Beetle!

Please, be a super-deformed Beetle!

Perhaps this is #20 & BBTS mixed their numbers up, or TT may have changed their release schedule?
I don't have FB, but is there anything mentioned in the post that 100% confirms BB's MP number?

[Cat]

Pic is fake.

no, i did look for visual confirmation but couldn't see anything and the photo wasn't great in quality either. i'm sure there will be more coming into xmas though.

Cheers, K. Yeah, it's standard TT marketing practice now with MP's and these teaser-reveals.


Pic is fake.

How so? All i can see is the photo in the first post:o

[Starscream77]

Pic is fake.

Is that your thoughts or fact ?

[tinyJazz]

Damnit planet iacon! They did the same before MP Prowl was released, threw up a pic of an amazing G1-style MP Prowl custom without comment.

Comment from FB user on Planet Iacon's post:


Image is proven fake on the TFW2005 forums. It was a screencap from the Tokyo Toy show 2012; somebody just did a photoshop on that screencap.

So it's in a thread on TFW somewhere, if you'd like to go digging.

There is speculation going around the global fansites that it is fake... but neither side (for or against it's authenticity) have given any proof either way yet. The original posters don't even say where the photo is from, or why it is the only photo out there from this mystery event... and the people against are only using that and the name of the character as reasons for it being a fake.
(the name bit... in Japan, the Gen1 character is actually called "Bumble", so a JP Masterpiece of Gen1 Bumblebee would not be called Bumblebee... just like Sideswipe is Lambor, Optimus is Convoy and Ravage is Jaguar, etc).

The TFW posting (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/935706-mp-20-mp-21-mp-12g-91.html#post10195215), showing the original frame from an old video that was photoshopped.

[Cat]

It's Tokyo Toy Show of last year, with the Bumblebee stuff shooped in.

[Hursticon]

I called "BS" (https://twitter.com/Hursticon/status/394394476568788992) when Seibertron posted it on Twitter (https://twitter.com/seibertroncom/status/394387276018352128) and I'm glad to see that I can continue to trust my gut instincts (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/935706-mp-20-mp-21-mp-12g-91.html#post10195215). :cool:

If ANYTHING is going to be shown regarding upcoming Masterpiece figures and from an official source? - It's going to come from Shogo Hasui himself (https://twitter.com/Hasui_TF). ;)
(So I'll remain steadfast in my belief that BBTS & other retailers cannot be considered reliable 1st-hand info sources :))

I don't really care about real or fake news, I have to see the product, that's all I actually care about. In fact without seeing the product is the deal breaker for me whether I want it.

And whether or not Bumblebee comes with headphones. :p

Actually I have concerns about how Bumblebee will look like. Being that is now a mp, it may or may not look like the anime and would be really up to you to buy it.

As far as I know, bumblebee was a small robot in the G1 range, so this would be quite a significant change in my opinion.

Whereas Wheeljeck should be a straight up convert which I think it would look nice.

I am definitely thinking Hound, Jazz and Mirage would be on the mp cards.

I think this would be pretty good for the minibots scale. (Cubex - Engineer Huff)

"I like to Play" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qi3JERmk9E)

without doubt one of my favorite scenes of all time.


Wait, what were we talking about? oh yeah, I read the title to this thread and thought there was already a KO bumble bee confiirmed and I nearly had to change my pants (and not in a good way).

I am a little surprised we haven't heard anything more about these From Takara unless they are holding out till after Smokescreens release so they have something to talk about next year.

[Cat]

Well they have got the big announcement planned for the 12th of Nov
(I think that's when they said, don't quote me) on who the winner of the Fan's Choice Poll was.

It'd be a perfect time to reveal the next actual toy too.

for scale looks good but, I guess is wait and see. Would be expensive if that's the size for same price.

[Cat]

I expect to be completely surprised with Bee, whatever they do. It's going to be tough to make him seem like a good value next to Prowl. And there's a lot of car that needs to disappear if they're going to keep him in scale in robot mode. Plus the differences inherent from the fact his whole design is based off the Penny Racer deformed look, so it's going to be tough to visually reconcile.

I expect (or hope) he'll have a second face at least, mimicking the G1 toy. If they do that, I think I would have to buy two.

[Bidoofdude]

Well, that escalated quickly. :(Wish we'd get some confirmation soon. I'd really like to get an MP of this guy. Fingers crossed for some prototype pics. ;)

[Megatran]

Chimungmung website states MP Bumblebee will be available on 12th Feb. What caught my eye was MP Wheeljack release date being 20th November!!!! Yet there hasn't been actual confirmation of these 2 MPs, or has there??? Also, MP Smokescreen is stated as 20th November release as well (not mid December). Is Chimungmung right or balone?

From a G1 cartoon scale point of view, looking at the comparison between Bluestreak and comparing to the photo, that scale is at least a head too tall for Bumblebee, Gears & Windcharger

scale. hah. if this picture was used, bumblebee would be about MP-10's knee height.

Mid thigh'ish, or a bit below, but thats pretty close. Human characters were scaled to roughly Prowl's & below Prime's knees & to Bumblebee's midsection
