Love ya Eyebrow, but personally i don't think size is what we're paying for. I feel like Masterpiece is about design, engineering and aesthetic, not how much plastic we get. But then i also like the exo-suit Spike so what do i know? :) BTW the licence plate stores inside the spare tire which is another awesome touch.
Haha don't get me wrong, i am definitely all for Quality v Quantity, and aestheticly I love this guy, but he's got about the same articulation as a deluxe fogure with a slightly more involved transformation, and both times I've gotten a spike that is trash. personally I feel he's worth about half the Canadian retail price, maybe 2/3 the import price, and funny enough, that's what the Americans are paying anyway (or so I'm told )
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer Yeah fair points. That Classics 'Bee set a high bar and if I'm honest, i can't justify CAD prices either. I'm becoming a Takasa Tony collector lol
Yeah, I can definitely see the scale issues with the Beetle mode. That said, it doesn't look _grossly_ out of proportion, so I'd call it passable... but that's just my take, and I can see why it would bug (hehe, _bug_ ) you.
ToyWorld's Bee is a nice alternative price-wise, and also has a car mode that matches the cartoon (if that's what you want). I have both, and would have skipped on the MP had I gotten the TW one first.
Isn't Bumblebee scaled to be in scale, but only in robot mode? All this cartoon mass shifting, at some point, you have choose whther the vehicle OR the robot will be in scale. It's not feasable to have it both. And they chose for the robot of the MP line (starting with MP-10) to be in scale. Hnce the small Jet too. At least that's my take on it.
yeah robot mode was the priority, and I get that. I was just a little bummed when I found out they were ditching vehicle scale altogether. because aside from the jets, I felt they were doing a decent job staying relatively in scale with each other
honestly, I agree with a reviewer known as Emgo316 and it's usually correct, "Hasbro doesn't care about scale so why should I." But I understand where your coming from.
VW beetle was 4m long, a Porche 935 is almost 5m long. MP21 is 1:35 scale which does scale with MP10 and most deluxe cars. The issue is that most MP cars are 1:29 or 1:30 scale. Tracks is 1.325 (so in between BB and the other cars).
I cant really undestand the naggin on his scale...I mean you compared him with other toy lines which is wrong (comparing apples to oranges?) and then you just take only the vehicle mode into account and not the robot mode thats what the Mps scale btw. And honestly he doesnt scale badly. After all in real life we dont have mass transferance :D Great video otherwise and I agree with most of your points.
Fun fact! My clay model of Bumblebee was basically a serious downsize of MP Bee 1.0, same thing with Cliffjumper (except he's a Porsche 924 or Mitsubishi Starion).
Well of course he's small he's the old bumblebee what did you think I mean bumblebee is my favorite so judge him all you want but he is still a in important part of the team and I suppose you like goldbug more than bumblebee
At first when I watch this I thought you were being too mad about the scaling, until I put it next to my MP tracks, and what the fuck is this it’s so poorly scaled
it's only meant to scale in bot mode, that was confirmed long before release. Does that justify the price? Hell no. Does that justify the rants of surprise and outrage? also hell no
I do not know about the other robots, but at least when scaled against that Optimus Prime figure, Bumblebee is pretty much on scale with it in a robot mode. In the cartoon, Bumblebee's height was barely half of Optimus's.
haha i forgot about this. our neighbor 2 doors down had this stupid Jimmy. the sound of engine you're hearing is being recorded from the 4th floor of our building. moron lol
If you can, take apart the joint and put thin film of plastic safe grease on the parts that rub against each other. This will make this move much better.
Shockingly, the few KO's I have are actually better than the original and usually half the price. The KO MP44 fixed issues the original had making it fun to play with compared to Takara's. Also got the KO sunstreaker and it good, couldn't really see a difference between the KO and Takara's other than the KO came coated in mineral oil (fun clean up).
Thanks for pointing out that official spike is just a garbage as the KO one. Bee is the first KO I bought and I was pretty upset with things like spike falling apart and considered getting the official anyways. What about the gun? The gun is supposed to plug under the hood in car mode. Mine simply does NOT. It just falls out all the time and frustrates me. Is that a KO thing or just an MP Bee thing?
I was lucky enough to purchase my Hasbro MP Bumblebee for $50 CAD at my local Toys R Us, granted, the packaging was heavily damaged, but the figure was perfectly intact.
Thats right mr. eyebrowreviewer make them treat bumblebee with the equality of coolness in appearance that the other autobots and decepticons are treated with.I agree with you whole heartedly. Bumblebee should be on the level of coolness that orion pax was on especially since bee has the same qualities as pax did to become a prime. Bee looks like he should become a prime too.
It's like the Toy Story Collection, where every Toy Story toy to be released in conjunction with the 3rd movie was trying to be as movie-accurate as possible. It'd be GREAT if they made movie-accurate Pizza Planet squeaky toy aliens, but even a collection of 3 of those things would top off at maybe $5. So what do they do? Make them a thicker plastic, NOT squeak, and come in a variety of different poses. ...Yeah... Money well-spent. -_-
I know the size of the cartoon always fluctuated but the way size has always been to me is, A human is up to Bees waist and Bee is about 3/4 of Primes waist, meanwhile to me, the biggest issue is the color, it's not cartoon, toy or, in most cases real life accurate.
I mostly got this figure for Bumblebee. I could care less about Exo-suit Spike. I paid $70 for him, if that gives you an idea of where I live. This is the only Masterpiece figure I have at the moment but I do plan on getting more in the future. I absolutely love my Bumblebee and the Volkswagen Beetle he turns into, I think it's a 1972 Volkswagen Super beetle. The vehicle mode makes me want to get a 1972 Super beetle and paint it like Bumblebee. The other Masterpiece figures I want are; mp-10 Optimus Prime, mp-11 Starscream, mp-12 Sideswipe, the Datsun trio, Ironhide, Ratchet, Sunstreaker, Megatron, the Beast Wars cast, Wheeljack, and Ultra Magnus. I more cartoon accurate versions of figures like Prime, Starscream, and Bee are out but I like the more real world accurate looks simpler transformations of the older figures
Please know that there are two types of beetles. Models before 73 are not a long as the 73 super beetle. The model looks more like the super., but don't quote me on that.
Hi. Im a Volkwagen Beetle owner. Mine is a 1979 VW Beetle made in Mexico and it comes with a left and right mirrors. In fact all the Beetles made in Brazil and Mexico until 2003 came with 2 mirrors, so the Ko version is not wrong. (Sorry for my english, greetings fron Ecuador in South America)
I have the g2 version of bumblebee I love the nice metalic paint on it, it also comes with a jet pack as well which is awesome. By the way are you going to get the g2 version of bumblebee?
Yeah, he should've been bigger, on a side note, I think Ultra Magnus should be smaller, it's impossible for the vehicle mode, but he was as tall as Prime of not shorter
Someone doesn't seem to remember Bumblebees height difference in the original cartoon. He was always depicted as smaller than any other Transformer. There's an official scale chart out there for the Transformers in robot form, look it up. Should I mention that he was designed originally as a Penny Racer? If you want to add a history lesson to your videos, at least get the history right.
Love ya Eyebrow, but personally i don't think size is what we're paying for. I feel like Masterpiece is about design, engineering and aesthetic, not how much plastic we get.

RIP MP Bee's chances of scaling with anything.
Enter the transformers masterpiece map-45
ToyWorld's Bee is a nice alternative price-wise, and also has a car mode that matches the cartoon (if that's what you want). I have both, and would have skipped on the MP had I gotten the TW one first.

I'd rather have a white repaint so I could make it have Herbie's racing stripes in alt mode.
Shattered Glass Unicron that's what I wanted! = O
I'm hoping ehobby repeats history and makes a white one = P
Omg me to
That would be rightious😎
I wonder how Spike's body never gets broken bones when transforming in his suit?
That year Beetle only had one mirror, and wow! i always felt Bee was way too big!
yep, it did, but I prefer 2, or at least I did, I kinda just skipped mirrors altogether on this figure when I replaced him = P
6:55
No disrespect or anything, but isnt the masterpiece series MEANT to scale with one another AND be extremely cartoon/movie accurate?
Yes but it doesn't really.
I like that bee is much smaller than other mps
Mark Castellanet agreed
And cliffjumper
honestly, I agree with a reviewer known as Emgo316 and it's usually correct, "Hasbro doesn't care about scale so why should I." But I understand where your coming from.
Not sure if you noticed but spike and Daniels bodies are in the chest of the mech suit. Thats why it’s so big.
6:09 HERBIE!!!!
i am here to review the american and takasa tony bumblebee. oh and spike too
I fell in love with my-45. One of my favorites now.
*coughcoughFOOTBACKPACKS*
VW beetle was 4m long, a Porche 935 is almost 5m long. MP21 is 1:35 scale which does scale with MP10 and most deluxe cars. The issue is that most MP cars are 1:29 or 1:30 scale. Tracks is 1.325 (so in between BB and the other cars).
i got my mp bee yesterday
Everything scales well with a bee
Infact heres confirmination (is that a word?)
th-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/w-d-xo.html
Cool!
@@meganura1559 YOUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!
I cant really undestand the naggin on his scale...I mean you compared him with other toy lines which is wrong (comparing apples to oranges?) and then you just take only the vehicle mode into account and not the robot mode thats what the Mps scale btw.

I'm getting Hasbro mp 10 for Christmas I'm so hyped
happy for you.
cool
The upgrade kits aren't a necessity though so it's not really expensive
I don’t care what you say everything scales well with mp bee whether you like it or not
In the cartoon, he barely comes up to prime's knee. Do a basic google search. This scaling is accurate
Fun fact! My clay model of Bumblebee was basically a serious downsize of MP Bee 1.0, same thing with Cliffjumper (except he's a Porsche 924 or Mitsubishi Starion).
Well of course he's small he's the old bumblebee what did you think I mean bumblebee is my favorite so judge him all you want but he is still a in important part of the team and I suppose you like goldbug more than bumblebee
nah, still like Bee. and as stated. love love looooove mp bee as a stand alone. but with others, he tiny
wanna know somehin everything scales with mp bee
I can’t wait till the Netflix WFC bumblebee is more accessible or reissued or repackaged for studio series or legacy so o can get my hands on that.
Now, how do u feel on the MP-45 (MP Bee 2.0)?
but can Bee fit in MP-10's trailer?
what a nice model of bubmlbee
It is bumblebee.
Omg I didn’t realize that “everything scales well with mp bee” was a joke lol
I bought the KO without even realizing it -_- It was only when I got the figure and looked over the box, I noticed the 'Takasa Tony' logo...
I just got the ko bee and spike in love the toy,buy my autobot logo on the top of the bug it's on backwards
I've heard that's been happening
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer I wish I could fix that but don't to break it
And i thought Optibotimus was grumpy! You surpass him by far.
Nicolas-David Gouin best compliment I've got all hour
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer you're welcome. The review was very usefull though.
At first when I watch this I thought you were being too mad about the scaling, until I put it next to my MP tracks, and what the fuck is this it’s so poorly scaled
This vehicle mode size isn’t accurate to real life it is accurate to the cartoon which explains why it is so small
6:11 Nice Touring Car Masters photo you got there.
RIP Lazy Eyebrow.
great review! very funny too! liked and subbed!
Fun fact this was used for the Netflix WFC but the back of the car comes off
These reviews are awesome your my favorite and funniest reviewer .
it's only meant to scale in bot mode, that was confirmed long before release. Does that justify the price? Hell no. Does that justify the rants of surprise and outrage? also hell no
Hahaha. The car comments at the end. Hilarious.
did you know there's going to be a Titan return both predaking and abuminus
huh. i did not know that. i was wondering if computron would get his rival
wow
I am getting predaking and maybe abominus
I don't think it's Titans return. They might do another CHUG line after TR
WAIT!?!?!?!??! COMBINER WARS IS NOW IN TITANS RETURN????? fucking hell
I do not know about the other robots, but at least when scaled against that Optimus Prime figure, Bumblebee is pretty much on scale with it in a robot mode. In the cartoon, Bumblebee's height was barely half of Optimus's.
Eyebrow:2:31
*Forgets That Midgets Exists
It's my birthday today, so thank you for uploading this today! Keep making good videos!
Than don't reply u jerk
15:28 - Ugh... been here....
haha i forgot about this. our neighbor 2 doors down had this stupid Jimmy. the sound of engine you're hearing is being recorded from the 4th floor of our building. moron lol
If another KO company were to upscale this figure, would you consider purchasing it?
in a heart beat
As far as I know, Wei Jiang is planning on making an upscaled MP bumble
My bad, it's KBB, not Wei Jiang
in the 80s when he saw the yellow Volkswagen Beetle, the children probably would have thought that it was now transforming into Bumblebee)))
If you can, take apart the joint and put thin film of plastic safe grease on the parts that rub against each other. This will make this move much better.
I just want to ask u do u also like herbie cause i am waiting for a repaint for herbie
Shockingly, the few KO's I have are actually better than the original and usually half the price. The KO MP44 fixed issues the original had making it fun to play with compared to Takara's. Also got the KO sunstreaker and it good, couldn't really see a difference between the KO and Takara's other than the KO came coated in mineral oil (fun clean up).
I accidentally broke off the mirror on my MP-21 Bee but the peg is still in there so I can’t put in the replacement mirror.
I remember seeing spike like that in the movie when I was very young
do you think the KO is painted with lead paint?
I never needed to be careful with my bumblebee
MP-21 is cool and all, but after owning him, I definitely would have only payed at most $40 for him, not $70.
Thanks for pointing out that official spike is just a garbage as the KO one. Bee is the first KO I bought and I was pretty upset with things like spike falling apart and considered getting the official anyways.
What about the gun? The gun is supposed to plug under the hood in car mode. Mine simply does NOT. It just falls out all the time and frustrates me. Is that a KO thing or just an MP Bee thing?

Bumblebee should be on the level of coolness that orion pax was on especially since bee has the same qualities as pax did to become a prime. Bee looks like he should become a prime too.
If I could get the official for the KO price, now that would be something. Cool video.

Make them a thicker plastic, NOT squeak, and come in a variety of different poses. ...Yeah... Money well-spent. -_-
Wish it was more bright yellow and squished up like the cartoon
Hi man. Just wondering whats your opinion on the MP Bee 2.0?
Eyebrow, you bought bumblebee in aliexpress or in Amazon?
I'm not a fan of G1 Bumblebee but I like the more recent versions.
Great vid! I do recommend a Lint brush.
I know the size of the cartoon always fluctuated but the way size has always been to me is, A human is up to Bees waist and Bee is about 3/4 of Primes waist, meanwhile to me, the biggest issue is the color, it's not cartoon, toy or, in most cases real life accurate.
I dont remember spike transforming in the movie but I do remember his son doing it and knock kick back and one contructicon off his feet
details....details
+The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer lol but great review and ill miss the joke
I saw this a while after we saw the new bee, hope you like cartoon accuracy because that’s what we’re getting I believe
on Amazon they are 30.00 dollars
On eBay they are cheaper
I want for that price.
There $70.00 for me
There used to be a 10$

Omg the ending is so funny 😂
I think that in car mode MP bee is in scale with Post-Dotm deluxe Class figures
i got mine yesterday
Wait,does the box actually say taksa tony?
Stupid GMC Jimmy... Where's my potatoes!? I've heard they make wonderful mufflers... ;P
potatoes are great for everything. even eating!
Im so glade somebody cares about the scale on the human figures
So do you have 2 or 1 of them
Please know that there are two types of beetles. Models before 73 are not a long as the 73 super beetle. The model looks more like the super., but don't quote me on that.
6:07 it's Herbie the love bug
I really liked spike myself, interesting engineering. in fact all around I like this much more than you do. but to each their own! great video anyway!
Actually it's Daniel
Hi. Im a Volkwagen Beetle owner. Mine is a 1979 VW Beetle made in Mexico and it comes with a left and right mirrors. In fact all the Beetles made in Brazil and Mexico until 2003 came with 2 mirrors, so the Ko version is not wrong. (Sorry for my english, greetings fron Ecuador in South America)
gmultimedio i thought so! that's awesome! and hello = )
I have the g2 version of bumblebee I love the nice metalic paint on it, it also comes with a jet pack as well which is awesome. By the way are you going to get the g2 version of bumblebee?
maybe. the gold does look pretty slick. though I don't quite have the coin for it
WHERE CAN I GET THESE BECAUSE I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!!
Great review, luckily I have the Takara one (which I still need to put Reprolabels on) which isn't all that bad but spike is eh for the most part.
i am really thinking I need me some of them labels too. spike surprised me with how garbage he was. i was expecting waaaaay more out of the official
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer I got them in my room I just need to get off my butt and apply them.
You can also peg the license plate into the spare tire then peg the spare tire in
bumblebee in vehicle mode does need a change in height, but for Robot mode... He's actually too tall.
Yeah, he should've been bigger, on a side note, I think Ultra Magnus should be smaller, it's impossible for the vehicle mode, but he was as tall as Prime of not shorter
the takara pne came with 3 faces,happy,a neutral face and the g1 toy face
i thought was only through amazon though
check out emgo's review,he said that it comes with three faces.
one*
I got him for 42£ so no complaints
got the takasa for 36 cad
Spike is not a masterpiece IT’S A MASTERPIECE OF CRAP
you should try review titans return or RID 2015 Bumblebee
woah, there is a hasbro bumblebee? sweet!
In your opinion, what would be a reasonable price if it was only bumblebee and no spike
Maybe 50 US? Like at the time I the cars were like 80 a piece
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer is the bee with the smaller black box the ko version?
Yeah
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer well I just ordered it last night for like $20 hopefully it's good enough quality
Humans that come with Transformers are the accesorys.
I have the masterpiece g2 bumblebee with the battle mask, and I like it better, instead of exo spike you get a jet pack.
so glad I got this guy for 40$ CAD loose without Spike on ebay
Still the best animated mp Bee figure.
The third head mask of the KO wasn't a battle mask, it was the face of "Gold Bug", Bumblebee with an update in the last seasons. Great Review!
Someone doesn't seem to remember Bumblebees height difference in the original cartoon. He was always depicted as smaller than any other Transformer. There's an official scale chart out there for the Transformers in robot form, look it up.
Should I mention that he was designed originally as a Penny Racer?
If you want to add a history lesson to your videos, at least get the history right.
bubmlbee is a 1975 volkswagen beetle ( or vw bug )
