Looks much better in yellow.:D
Looking fine. Another great MP heading our way
He will be mine. The colours look amazing. Can't wait for robot mode.
Wow that is really small... but damn does it look fine.
that looks really cool, rockin' them bumper bars. I can imagine this having at least 7 recolours :D
I think that's why they included Spike w/ transforming Exo-suit to justify the MP car price point on a smaller figure. Still... we all know that TakTOM MPs are overpriced. Discounted pre-orders FTW! :o
Very nice.
And an idea of the transformation as well.
Spike is bigger than I thought, but good for the value of the complete set. He's just going to be too big in scale to the other MP robots though.
That is just lovely in colour!
Don't be surprised when it happens

:p
That really does look fantastic. He's going to look great in the Autobot MP lineup!
Is there a spot to store his gun while in alt mode?
I love it. I'll save some money from my b'day in August. They really nailed the colours, even more so on the face.
y have they chosen to go the mp-10 route and not paint spikes face? it looks creepy...
I just love how 'toon accurate' these mps are. It's like they have been ripped out of the tiny tvs from the 80s ;) the fact that they also transform amazes me. They cheated a heck of a lot in the cartoon when it came to robot and alt modes in the cartoon. I'm so happy with how these are all turning out
That pic of optimus and bumblebee nearly made me weep...
Although he's a very small MP, and rightly so to accurately scale with the other characters, the inclusion of the Spike in his transformable exosuit means this is a definite must for the MP shelf.
Do you think there will be a bug bite repaint?
Anything is possible. What I wanna know is will they do a shiny gold G2 version.
Glyph or Goldbug please, TakTom.
Preferably Glyph.
And the obligatory Tokyo Toy Show Exclusive repaint
Loving the vibrant colour!!! Cannot wait for its release
Given that we have seen TigerTrack/G2 Sideswipe and (maybe/maybe not) Diaclone Bluestreak/Streak there is a really good chance that we could see either one of those above characters we could also even see a red BB.
It really is a good time to be a TF fan :p
bug bite! i want some more evil characters
Irony: Fans are now looking forward to Bumblebee repaints! :p
This is a definite buy for me. He will look great next to my 1:1 scale model of G1 Bumblebee ;)

Added the fact that G1 is best lol. But MP Bee mold repaints? I can live with that. Considering a number of us have the various Sideswipe mold releases and Seeker releases, myself included. But the key difference is these are different characters instead of just different versions of the same Bee.
But I still do see the funny side Gok is pointing at :p
You might be able to find some here :D
Slightly OT, but it has always struck me as curious why HTT hasn't made more use of alternate heads with their 'bee molds, and regularly sold versions of Hubcap/Bumper/Glyph/Bug-Bite etc. They could even market them as 'X disguise Bumblebee' if they really wanted to do the Bumblebee thing - they'd probably still sell at least as well as "Brushing-His-Teeth" Bumblebee repaint #7 with 'new' Colgate Cannon (itself a repaint of the Life Is Pain Pulse Blaster from the "Angsty Emo" black Optimus repaint 2 waves back).
Har! Very nice :D
I don't mind repaints/retools if they're done thoughtfully, as in the case of Seekers, Autobot Nissans etc. -- but as we all know, there have been a lot of redecos which appear to be rather random, and Bumblebee is notorious for being randomly/meaninglessly redecoed. ;)
Odie: I wish this was done for Classicsverse! I really disliked that phase that Hasbro went through when they would repaint Bumblebee red and call it Cliffjumper (which was annoying considering that G1 Bumblebee (and Cliffjumper) were both available in red and yellow; a red Bumblebee was still Bumblebee!). I'm personally glad that Hasbro's moved away from this now -- giving us a retooled head for Animated Cliffjumper, but I was especially impressed that Transformers Prime Cliffjumper was an entirely different design. Yes! :D
As far as MP Bumblebee is concerned, the only redeco potential would be for Bug Bite, Glyph and Volks. Cliffjumper and Hubcap (and Carrera) are Porsche 924s, and would require far more extensive retooling than just a variant head. :o Likewise Bumblejumper (and Optimus Sedan & Robocar Sedan) are Mazda 323s
