You didn't want to want it.

I resigned myself to it as soon as it was announced.


Although i'm still not sure i'm entirely happy with it........... Masterpieces pull on your heartstrings and cloud your judgement. They're expensive, they're bad value for money, the QC is spotty, and the price keeps going for no reason other than Takara's greed.

But you still want them.

Mutterings indicate that completing the initial line up of tapes is top priority at the moment.

Initial line up being Rumble, frenzy, Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw?

And Ravage.


I'd also like to take this opportunity to point out that in the Japanese Cartoon, the blue one was Frenzy.

And in the old Marvel comics too.

I'm still awaiting Hastak's decision to paint Lazerbeak purple and call him Ratbat.
Poor old ravage will just be a black FiR-RiB haunched over on all fours

Also Soundwave will come with real batteries that explode and spray acid in your eyes, whilst he plays a soundfile of his laughter from the cartoon.

Here's the thing about Ratbat..... He's well known to anyone who read the Marvel comic, but Takara might decide he's a hard sell.

Sounds obtuse of them? There was a nasty rumour going around that Hasbro had to push them hard to get in on a MP Grimlock.

OK, so I got to thinking about my collection and I have no bumblebee despite being one of my favourite characters as a kid. I'd like to get something that's as close to the look of a masterpiece but which keeps his look as close to g1 robot mode as possible. I'd also like him to be as close to scale as MP-10 Prime as possible (a little over waist height).

I do like the look of the Henkei Bumblebee. Can anyone recommend anything better than that?

Your two best options based on 'REAL' Transformers are the Henkei/Classics mold, or Alternity Bumblebe.



There was meant to be a classics bumblebee reshell being released by some third party or other, they put a bettle body on the classics mold.

It looks pretty kitbashlike last i saw though...

Source is on a shorter leash these days. He told me think logically, but that it's not Shockwave.


Prowl is more likely due to repaint potential and a recent license agreement with Nissan, but i posted Perceptor just to get a bit of mileage out of people.
