This figure is fantastic! Who designed this thing?! Sure, he still have his issues but you know what? I don't care. He is a fantastic legends size figure. Anyway, great review.
I was eyeing this figure for a while, but after seeing how positive you were about it I finally decided to get it. After getting my hands on it, I fully understood why you were praising it so much. This figure is the definition of "Lightning in a Bottle", being given so little means to accomplish such a hard task, but not only did it came out on top, but rose above it.
This one looks great and if I get the chance I’m definitely getting him And considering what he turns into I don’t think the kibble is that bad and nothing to complain about especially given the size of him
Actually you can just remove the whole backpack, that's how I display him and he looks great and a billion times better than that netflix ER parts former version.
After coming out of that god awful """"Fan First Friday"""" livestream, seeing a new upload on your channel was like walking outside for the first time in a year. Thank you good sir, and keep up the good work.
Wow I was really suprised by how good this figure looked! I always believed a Cybertron Bumbleebee would’ve ended up horribly, but to my surprise I think it looks better than the Netflix bumbleebee. I will definitely be getting this figure.
I absolutely love this thing. I was so happy when I found the last one at Target, and when I got to fiddling with him, I was SO happy. For such a specific figure, and for part of the Buzzworthy line, it's a great bumblebee. And I'm glad he actually came with his gun. Seriously, probably one of my favorite Bumblebee figures I've ever had the pleasure of owning
@@PerspectiveEnd The only issue I have is how easy the leg panels on the ball joints pop off. Like, the right one on mine pops off every. Single. Transformation. But other than that, I think this is the best Bumblebee released in recent years. Possibly even the best in the CHUG scale
I like how somehow this thing turns into a completely different v mode than a Beetle and yet it's overall more accurate to Bee's g1 look than the netflix toy.
This figure is amazing it still has problems but doesn't matter, anyways good video perspective keep up the good work also happy birthday to your mother I forgot to say it down in the comment section in the one year anniversary video.
I got this today and it's even better than I expected. Sure it's kibbly and small, but it poses incredibly, it feels hefty for its size and even if the transformation is panel-heavy it's quite fun. Plus the novelty of getting episode 1 Bumblebee really does it for me.
I can’t even get over how good this is I can not get over how much I love this figure I’m basically playing with it 24/7 Edit after watching the reason the roof doesn’t go all the way down is because the head is backwards if you want it to tab in right you need to sacrifice not having visible head syndrome
I wasn’t sure if I did want this but now I do know, I want this. Perspective, you convinced me to get this and be satisfied that I get a bumblebee for my g1 collection and that it would be a good bumblebee figure
So, I just recently bought this figure, and as it turns out, the tabbing issue actually has to do with how you orient bumblebee's head. If the head is facing inside, the crest takes up a bit more space, causing clearance issues, which is why they designed the head to be facing the ground when transformed.
@@PerspectiveEnd it is weird, however looking at it now the weird head crest above his face actually protrudes more in the front than it does in the back, causing the clearance issues(I hope I'm explaining this correctly)
I remember someone said that when his head is backwards his leg wings won’t lay flush. But yeah it reaaaaaally needed a peg or something. Also I noticed that if you extend his ankles he kinda looks feminine, future retool perhapz!?!!1((glyph?!!!1!?)) I like this dude, I just wish he had a wrist rotation, then he’d be perfect. Props to hasbro for doing what masterpiece/3p wont
Hey PE, been awhile since I’ve commented. I just got one of these recently and was also pretty happy with it. Was originally a bit worried with how small it was but I at least feel the accessories help make up the price. And congrats on the 4K! I’ll always appreciate you for being my guide back into the world of Transformers.
Thank you so much, I'm glad to see you back, I'm so proud of this community, and I'm always humbled when people tell me I inspired them to do stuff like that.
I'm getting this for Xmas. It will be another great representation of another one of the most popular cartoon characters in media along with Siege Optimus Prime. If there is going to be a Buzzworthy Bumblebee Origins/Space Wheeljack, it must have opening hands like Optimus Primal.
I feel like most popular characters in fiction is a bit of an overstatement , I honestly think he's just been forced into that role by Hasbro never ever letting go of the attempts to make him popular.
I finally got this guy a few days ago and I love him! He’s amazing. Glad to see u like him too. Also I think the head is based after the siege Netflix shows since it’s so wide
I like the cliff and bee through, they do parts form, which hurts it but, it doesn't bug me on those figures though because they are fun to handle to me.
Thank you so much for this review and your other video showing he was available at Target I just got one today hes my first Bumblebee ever and he's sooo much better than the earthrise Cliffjumper so I'm super happy I never found the Netflix series Bumblebee! I'm really loving your channel ive been watching it every day for a while and now whenever I see new figures out I always check to see if Persepctiveend has made a video on them yet before I commit to getting it, your content is really appreciated! 🙂💚
I'm glad to hear you are enjoying my stuff so much, and I'm super happy to hear that you got this because of me. I think Hasbro Reprinted these cause I'm seeing them in stores again too.
I saw this figure at Target last week. The walk from the shelf to the register I kept thinking to myself, "I can't believe I'm about to buy this overpriced tiny piece of plastic". And then on the drive home, all I kept thinking was, "I can't believe I just wasted money on a tiny piece of overpriced plastic". But when I got home and opened up the box, started moving the figure around, and transforming him I was excited. I was impressed by the feet, legs, arms, body, transformation, and all-around pleased with the money I had just spent on this tiny overpriced yet way cool piece of plastic. The only things I would have liked to see added to this figure to make it even cooler would have been a wrist swivel, and a little clear stand that could peg into the bottom to hold up the spaceship mode. I'll be honest, when I clicked on your video I thought you were going to complain and talk shit about my new favorite figure. Gad to see this was a positive video. 😎👍
Of course this is a positive one. I have taste. And yeah there was a good bit of worry that this one was going to be another Hasbro grift, but no, this one is top tier.
This may have been mentioned by someone else, but I wish the rods weren’t included. I’d much rather have had that plastic and parts budget going towards fixing some of the issues on the toy itself. Like the forearm gaps, for example.
Here's the thing, if they cut down the number of Rods by 1 they probably would have already had the plastic to fill in the fore arms, I don't think we lost anything due to the rods. I think they thought they were done with the figure, and then decided to throw in some box stuffers after.
I have noticed in my figure that if you transforms him with the head rotated for not to see the face , the saucer mode does not closes well, so I let the head with the face watching ahead and since that side is not seen in the saucer mode it does not anoys ... I love this figure ... I have never been a fan of Bumblebee, I have never wished having the masterpiece either, but I saw this cybertronian mode and I said ... I need it! ... and I don't regret of getting him ♥
Considering all the seige ports it may of started life as a prototype for the seige toyline and hasbro just chickened out at the last moment and said everything had to be a car, especialy since the seekers are based of their g1 pre ark forms compared to everyone else being cyberpunked vehicals
I’m happy for people that collect G1 to finally get a Cybertronian Bumblebee. The head seems off, and the kibble on the legs stick out like a sore thumb.
Got my hands on a version of ER bee. At first I was all “well he’s better because he’s a volkswagen” and put him on my shelf. I went crawling back extremely fast
Hopefully my local stores will actually have some Transformers on the shelf again soon. I don't care about most of what's coming out but the 2 or 3 figures I actually want I REALLY want.
I never thought I could like a Bumblebee toy this much ever again, with that character literally being everywhere for the past... How long ago was 2007? Anyway, this thing is freaking cool! One of my all-time favourite transformers is TR Cosmos, for the simple fact that it can transform AND shrink itself down into a sleek aerodynamic shape that's smaller than what you'd expect. This Bumblebee does just that, but at a higher level. I like these kinds of Transformers!
I'm not going to lie, when I first saw this figure I thought it was going to be a kibbly, goofy, undersized, overpriced mess. But after seeing your review I decided to give it a chance. I got it as a gift today and I absolutely love it
Picked this up with Tracks from Target a couple days ago....there were 7 more Bees and I nearly bought them all until I remembered what ToyGalaxy says about leaving one for the next collector. Fun little guy but I wish I had your one-off Wheeljack to go with him!
Yeah, I know some collectors who buy everything they run into so they can distribute them among each other and cut out the scalpers. It is both a good an an evil. On the one hand they are defeating the scalpers, but on the other, they are screwing the average person who popped their head in the store looking for something.
I thought that nothing good could come from the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line. But I have no problem with being wrong in this instance. I missed the Netflix Bumblebee, but this guy is totally worthy of being my primary G1 Bumblebee instead.
Now this is one of the few times Hasbro not being a real life MrKrabs. I honestly don't collect bumblebee figures but this is a must have. Nice review!
This looks pretty neat, I find that fact the box doesn’t have the plastic bit really weird but whatever.btw I’ll say this I’ll be posting all the figures from the FFF at the same time after the live stream on the Reddit. So by the time your seeing this it should be up.
Another great review, PE! I bought this figure, but I haven't cracked it open yet since I'm saving it as a treat for after I've moved into my dorm. This get's me super excited since it looks amazing!
I have seen the box of this figure in the store for months! (nothing special). But after I saw your video, I went back, flipped the box, and saw that it was Cyberton Bumblebee. Purchased 2! 🙏
@@PerspectiveEnd I left the 2 others on the pegs for other collectors. But seriously, there is no way of telling if that fig is a cybertronian Bumblebee (wtf!) And i was at the store again today, and they wer still there. Just a tiny yellow piece of plastic without a window from a line that has no show, that cost $23 🤷♂
I love this figure. It's what we should have gotten back in Siege (better late than never, though). It also gives me hope that we'll get a Cybertronian Jazz in the future.
@@PerspectiveEnd Its REALLY good, I had take a tiny bit of superglue and put is around the area that holds the ball joint on the back of the legs and now they dont fall off nearly as often anymore.
Now I want a evergreen bumblebee toy (the cyberverse deluxe one doesn't count) also I think that the reason this wasn't released in siege was because people were complaining how there were "too many bumblebees" and his head and face seems a bit too wide
I Agree with the head and face being too wide, and maybe that would motivate them to do that, but then they released the CJ retool in ER so it seems like they got over it fast.
Honestly, I bought this figure together with decepticons forever ravage, and I assumed I’d leave him in the box just to have, or get him out, then put him next to my other autobots or something while I focused on ravage. I got him out, had a thought to try a running pose, and he just fucking took it, he can balance on one leg, arm out shooting, looking to the side with his other leg flailing behind him, I know it sounds dumb but god damn the stability and pose ability is absolutely stunning, definitely a new favourite, and I never gave a fuck about the autobots, let alone bumblebee before this. 10/10 considering his size and cost.
I literally JUST got back from Target, happy to have found this guy as the first new Transformers figure I found in a while(As I haven't seen a HINT of Kingdom Wave 3 in my area despite Wave 2 being out for months on my end), and I find this video in my subscriptions as a happy little coincidence. And yeah, he's great. I actually quite like the Netflix figure(And I better, given how much I hated trying to find him), but there's a real good feel to this one. Pleased to see Buzzworthy Bumblebee has a signature toy that's not the utter garbage that Core class figure was.
yea I'm pretty chill with the kibble too I painted the leg thingy black and I also painted the energon accessories edge's with yellow/golden paint And I like it alot more
Been hunting at my local Target in hopes for this. Last time I was there they had 4 ARKs but everything else was out of stock or your typical peg/shelf warmer. I can't wait to find this one and bring it home.
Damn it feels so bad not being able to replace Netflix Bee with this guy so easily where I live. Because of it's exclusive nature, I'm stuck with a subpar figure. Yes I can easily sell it because "Hurr durr it transforms into a beetle", but then I would have problems getting this guy.
I actually have this figure. Unfortunately where I live is currently dealing with a pandemic of scalpers buying of figures and selling them for outrageous price (I have literally seen a Kingdom Arcee new in box being sold for $35 by some side store run by scalpers in a mall.) so when I saw this guy sitting on the peg at my local Target for retail price was astounding and he was the last one him Rodimus, Galvatron, Cyclonus, Titan class Tryptacon (that I got off of Amazon for $74.), and my Beast Wars II Leo Convoy are the pinnacle of my collection.
@@PerspectiveEnd ya it was just as awesome as when I got three Japanese import Refraktors off of U.S. Amazon for $52 when it didn’t even say they were imports.
that's their new trick: pre-tools. they now release what would be the retool before the original version to trick you into thinking it's not a retool. they did it with the Optimus and Megatron that were Octane and Blitzwing.
There's a new group of Amazon exclusive figures. Pack one is more huffer, but box 2 has wheeljack. And from the looks of the feet, space box wheeljack. Hell yeah.
I know there’s an earth rise cliffjumper repaint coming out in this line but follow me for a bit. Take this give it the earthrise’s head, paint it read, and give it a very large gun. It would sell like hotcakes.
This was the first piece of content I consumed after the FFF, so it was nice to see that quality content still exists. Thank you I’m pretty excited to get this guy! Hope he shows up in Canada sometime soon Also, out of curiosity, are you gonna get SS86 Wreckgar? He’s really good, and I think you’ll like him
The look I get from his head is a little like Brawn (who WFC seems to have forgotten about), what with the wide helmet. I think that Jetpack is the same mould they released for that accessory pack last year, make specifically for Sideswipe and Optimus (ER not Siege). It is properly awesome that we finally have an official Cybertronian Bumblebee after all these years.
