And the g1 bee is obviously different shade of yellow. Reissue or first release is clearly different from the mp version.

You're not incorrect. I've just had a look at my MP Bumblebee, and it is quite a deep yellow - strangely it's deeper in person than pictures seem to be able convey. It's not orange (which would require red pigmentation) but it is deeper than the cartoon.

I think the yellow you're looking for is more akin to the Tigertrack release, which is more vibrant and approaches the lemon colour moreso than Bumblebee.

HOWEVER when I look at Bumblebee, the his finish looks more like the finish I would expect to see on a production car, thus closer to the vehicle mode source than the cartoon or toy (based on photos - see above).

Is the potential for an MP-21A (Animated Ver)? Yes
Do I think it is likely? No

Ultimately it comes down to personal taste, and I am very happy with the solid glossy finish that we got.

Technically I am just looking for a lighter shade it doesn't need to be lemon yellow. Strangely enough I didn't find the current one as toon accurate in colour.
But that's probably because I been used to seeing the g1 toy.

Is only a wish actually not a big vent. It does becomes a vent when TT comes out with red and gold and I don't think hasbro is going to change it either .

Hahahhaa, well played

Today I was gently picking up Dune Runner off its shelf, and the toy just snapped in half at the waist in my hand! Thankfully SMHFConvoy has graciously offered to give me a spare.

...I wonder if Dune Runner is a descendant of G1 Mirage or Metroplex.

Uh when you think you have a spare to sell, but turns out there is a difference in the boxes which makes it a variant #g1collectorproblems

Just some Walkie Talkies. Turns out there is an autobot box and a deception box.
