Can we just appreciate how absolutely tremendously Michael Bay managed to misspell cliffjumper so consistently when writing the script for that movie Edit: some people in the replies dont realise that the joke is that stinger literally cannonically ripped off bumblebee, and is therefore red bumblebee, and I was referencing the fact that g1 cliffjumper was also red bumblebee. I am well aware that they are different cars, characters, etc.
I actually love the studio series Stinger, the transformation is genius, the kibble cleans so well, the gun is clever etc, while this mold is kind of fun but doesn't look as good to me
I myself managed to actually like the SS Stinger, but I can understand annoyances, the window-waist rotation bit confused me due to the instructions being butt.
There were plans for a full remold of Bumblebee for Stinger, but it didn't make it past the prototype stage somehow. So it was Takara who had to make this repaint.
bumblebee : feels insulted by Stinger and the ''bumblebee but better in every way'' thing. Also bumblebee : immediately proceeds to make himself look exactly like Stinger. bro just admitted he was inferior
To answer about the shoulder pads, no they don't tab in. They're supposed to be moveable to help posing, even though what movement they have doesn't help that much.
If you’re talking about the very first studio series bumblebee (which funnily enough is the first figure in the line) I know your pain. I turned mine into jazz and ended up breaking it in half while trying to transform him. Waaaaayyy too fragile, idk who’s idea it was to make the waist non-existent but I hope if they do him again they can fix that issue😕
I owned the TLK bumblebee version of this mold. And I can confirm the shoulders don't lock in. Not that I mind, I like having the freedom to shift things around slightly when messing with them, makes me think of the idle parts movements in the WoC and FoC games.
As someone who broke their sentry and seeing the figure inflate so bad in the aftermarket, seeing the SS get thrown so carelessly across and off the table hurts.. I had to glue the headlights at the joint so he now has pillar shoulders
I have this in Bumblebee covers and I love it. And 99% of why I love it is the integrated arm cannon. Cause godamn, how is that not on EVERY Transformer?!
I got the Bumblebee version of this mold with no accessories along with a few others at a thrift store recently, its a surprisingly fun mold although it definitely has its issues
tbh i like the studio series version more. It looks cleaner and has no massive backpack which also allows some real articulation. Also, the vehicle mode is very cool
for the Stinger's face thing, if you look at his head in the scene where Bee says he hates cheap knockoffs, you can see that he kinda doesn't have the mask on anymore and he doesn't really have a face. he even has the headlights in place of eyes
He’s basically cliffjumper because if bumblebee never stole stinger design look in the movie and stay his original octane design, then we would have called stinger cliffjumper because he looks similar to bumblebee in g1 show and sometimes he’s straight up red bumblebee repaint
I wasn’t really excited for aoe. Sure I was gonna watch it on opening day, but I wasn’t feeling it. I wanted to join the hype train too so bought aoe, hot shot and helicopter and car drift and bumblebee I remember them being pretty neat. But the one that stood out was aoe bumblebee. He was so fun, the car mode is sick as hell. It actually made me excited for bee’s role in the movie. The movie wasn’t great. Age of extinction has the most fun, wacky toyline of all, and I love it for that. 2014 was 10 years ago but my love for that era will never get old.
If this "Stinger" was retooled to actually have his head and the car parts to look like the actual KSI car, I think he would be cooler, I do love the deco
The Takara one is great, just the kible sucks. That's why I got the ss and Takara ones. I keep the ss in vehicle mode, while removed the kible from the Takara.
honestly studio series stinger just needs a new back mold so it isn't a backpacker and a recolor along with removing the thing thats on his right hand. then it looks semi accurate to the movie
I'll just wait for a 3rd party diecast OSKO version of this like what they use to do with the other Bayformers characters and I'll bet that it will be better.
I had the bumblebee version of this the mask just dint work and once i tried to fold the mask to show the face the mask just came of and i thougth this was all of the bumblebees that have that mold but it was just mi copy

Nah, not every G1 character needs to be in the movies
@@therailfanman2078
But it was literally meant to be a copy of Bumblebee. If this guy was named Bumblebee it would have been such a good reference.
I have the bumblebee version of this mould, and I removed all the vehicle kibble including the backpack, and it's my favorite cybertronian Bee figure
RIP Cliffjumper
Cliffjumper isnt always a red bumblebee. Even in g1 hes was a different car
I actually love the studio series Stinger, the transformation is genius, the kibble cleans so well, the gun is clever etc, while this mold is kind of fun but doesn't look as good to me
I agree
I always wanted the blue repaint of that mold
You are just right
Cap
Nah, SS sucks
I loved this mold as a kid, i think what could've made it better is if the back was detachable and could transform more, and sturdier clear plastic
I myself managed to actually like the SS Stinger, but I can understand annoyances, the window-waist rotation bit confused me due to the instructions being butt.
They should try doing that figure again now that Studio series is going to focus more on AOE, TLK, and ROTB
3:36 I have AOE Bee, and I can say that lego spring loaded missiles work, albeit very loose. The orange variant works very well with bumblebee.
There were plans for a full remold of Bumblebee for Stinger, but it didn't make it past the prototype stage somehow. So it was Takara who had to make this repaint.
Probably didn't get past the prototype stage coz of budget.
bumblebee : feels insulted by Stinger and the ''bumblebee but better in every way'' thing.
Also bumblebee : immediately proceeds to make himself look exactly like Stinger.
bro just admitted he was inferior
I didn't realize that until now lol
It looks the worse, only The Aoe Bumblebee Deluxe Looks perfect for the studio series
Don't know bout that
To answer about the shoulder pads, no they don't tab in. They're supposed to be moveable to help posing, even though what movement they have doesn't help that much.
Thank you for showing Galvatron in this video. I never realized that the massive things on his legs go on the lower part.

I personally really like the aoe bumblebee mould it's fun to transform

Ss stinger is unironically one of my favorite ss toys I've ever got. I just like it a lot but that aoe mold just pops
I had the bumblebee figure and it was really good and I got to say I wish more figures included built in weapons like this one
I got the Bumblebee version of this mold with no accessories along with a few others at a thrift store recently, its a surprisingly fun mold although it definitely has its issues
tbh i like the studio series version more. It looks cleaner and has no massive backpack which also allows some real articulation. Also, the vehicle mode is very cool
The studio series version is okay it doesn’t fall apart like studio series 1 bumblebee
Stinger, new megs, hound, and nitro Zeus are the only good things that came out of the last 2 bay films
"I hate cheap knockoffs" - Bumblebee (2014)
I always used to see him in Australia and I have like three copies of him
I remember having the AOE bumblebee figure and loving it
Worse, it’s like a Bumblebee AOE repaint
for the Stinger's face thing, if you look at his head in the scene where Bee says he hates cheap knockoffs, you can see that he kinda doesn't have the mask on anymore and he doesn't really have a face.
he even has the headlights in place of eyes

Bumblebee : don't steel my lines I'm warning you
You should make stop motions with all your transformers

Really wanted the aoe stinger figure never could find one he looks really good though!
i had a bumblebee in that mold
Funny that you would do a video about this figure…I just sold mine. I liked it at the time but it sort of lost its charm. Great video.
0:02 bumblebees the one who says he hates cheap knockoffs
This would make a good studio series cliffjumper for stopmotion films
The Takara one is great, just the kible sucks. That's why I got the ss and Takara ones. I keep the ss in vehicle mode, while removed the kible from the Takara.
I have the kbb oversized knock off of this. Pretty decent
The stars are handy to give to Siege Crosshairs to have his tire shoulders.
this figure could have been so good
It’s very sad that mine don’t have any of those issues and I’ve always loved the SS and TLK
Ss stinger looks awesome once u add some black paint thats missing on the face and chest.
I might get this thing. Its such an improvement over the SS Stinger.
honestly studio series stinger just needs a new back mold so it isn't a backpacker and a recolor along with removing the thing thats on his right hand. then it looks semi accurate to the movie
if it had a better head sculpt and had an accurate arm cannon, then yes this would be the best Stinger figure so far
I'll just wait for a 3rd party diecast OSKO version of this like what they use to do with the other Bayformers characters and I'll bet that it will be better.
Never understood why everyone tilts the shoulders outwards instead of inwards
I had the Bumblebee though pieces broke off a lot and I lost the battle mask, still liked it though
If you think some transformers figures hate being transformed then you would hate the RG zeta gundam. That thing hates existing
The AoE version for Bee is the best looks out of all 3
I have that Galvatron
I had the bumblebee version of this the mask just dint work and once i tried to fold the mask to show the face the mask just came of and i thougth this was all of the bumblebees that have that mold but it was just mi copy
Bruh this could of been cliffjumper
I have the other version of that toy. The mask on the top of his head popped off
I love this figure lol and the og aoe Bumblebee i own three versions of this mold lmao great review!
The SS Stinger always looked wonky to me, I honestly prefer this
I've got the OSKO one and he makes a halfway decent MP Stinger.
When hes a camaro he make me think is cliffjumper
It's Better Than The Studio Series, The Takara Is Detailed & Awsome! The Studio Series Is So Cheap And Ugly, So Disappointing.
I have the high octane bumblebee deluxe from age of extinction
i really dislike this version of stinger. the ss one is way better looking than that one.
X2
7:21 Skill issue
Can I get a link to the discord? The one in the about section is expired.
I would say the AOE it's worse than ss in alt mode but beter in robot mode bcs Bumblebee copies his look
How I’m not sure how to use byee every time I surcharge for stinger nothing happens
Should i get him or the ss21 starscream
I have the mould, and the elbows are ded, they cant even hold themselfs
I had the Bumblebee version of this. Pretty decent, but mine broke on me about a week later
Same
Ay bumblebee this toy ain't a knockoff
Can you swap the heads?
this stinger is a banger im gonna buy it is better than the ss
I actually got the flame bee we see at 08:11
do you mean cyberfire bumblebee, if so i also have it but it's missing a few parts
@@Snickr yeah, is it normal for its head to come loose?
@@patricklonghorn7375 I don’t think so mine has never been loose
@@Snickr aight, think I got a bootleg then 😅
@@patricklonghorn7375 it would actually surprise me if they made bootlegs of that bumblebee. It could also just be an issue on your copy
Did you get that figure from AliExpress
No, buyee
SS Стингер мне нравится больше, он лучше чем эта фигурка.
Moves?
His lower torso reminds me of bionicle
AOE over-hated
Stinger Decepticons Cuba
🇨🇺
Worse. Great as Bumblebee. Not as Stinger
I actually still have this figure but in yellow but some pieces are broken
So bumblebee?
@@Hayden_tdd ye
It is better than the studio series stinger
Очень крутой обзор, у меня есть Бамблби с таким же молдом из 4-го фильма. Мой самый первый трансформер.
Discord Link Broken?
This video breaks my heart in a positive way
3 words man "I like turtles" 😁
Why is Stinger a Camero? I thought he was a Koniseg Agera
In the video I stated why he was a Camaro. And he was a Pagani Huayra in the film
@@ThatToyGuy 🤯
Stinger is a lackluster character, he was just a ksi men made drone that got killed off by bumblebee, he hates cheap knockoffs
You bout it for 35 bucks off where?
NINJAGO its the crystal king mech
I honestly just hate this toy, probably one of the least worse things in AOE but still so borring. SS is just superior in everything but the paint.
I wish I have that
i want an ss aoe bumblebee
Early all the time
Yay I’m here
i had aoe crossheirs
i NEED one
I don't care what anyone says, that bullshit of a studio series figure is ass.
Got here SO early
my friend had the bumblebee version of this mold, and the battlemask was lost at some point so bumblebee just had a mohawk
Nice
