FAKE MP-21 Masterpiece Bumblebee confirmation

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, showing the original frame from an old video that was photoshopped.

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

I called "BS" when Seibertron posted it on Twitter and I'm glad to see that I can continue to trust my gut instincts. :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. ;)
(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.

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)
