▲ The packaging art will not be released before production. Let's get directly to the figure, as we take a look at the robot mode of Transcraft’s Bumblebee! When I saw his gray prototype for the first time last year, I was already amazed. The completeness and beauty of this figure are incredible.


▲ They have especially done a great job of compacting his upper body, hiding the car parts incredibly well.




▲ The painted surface is the biggest shortcoming of this piece. The worn out texture itself looks great... However, you can see that many parts are painted the plain yellow, which looks very out of place.

It is said that the manufacturer will eventually fix the paint job for the bulk release of the figure, in either all yellow, or the old textured paint, and if this is the case, it will be fine!








▲ His ability to be posed in various positions isn’t the best of the best, but fortunately, Bumblebee has long arms and legs, so he is better than, or at least on par, with the majority of the bots out there!




▲ Included accessories are his two arm blades (each of a different style), as well as a hand cannon, and his combat mask. Two of which are shown above.






▲ Next we take a look at Bumblebee’s vehicle mode.


▲ Overall, the vehicle is okay, but the gaps in between panels are pretty glaring, and after multiple attempts at lining him up as best I can, I have not been able to line them up much closer. It does seem that many of the current Bumblebee transformer products of this VW Beetle vehicle mode have similar problems.
The tire rims and the near bottoms of the vehicle have this weathered/dirty, smoky effect, however, but the overall paint job is very bright/clean yellow. It’s possible Transcraft wanted to harken back to the original Bay movies, where no matter how dirty or damaged the robots were in humanoid form, when it transforms into vehicle mode, it looks completely new. Who knows?!?
It is an interesting concept, but for me, a uniform paint job in robot mode is more important. After all, the best part of TC's rumored Bumblebee is his humanoid self!

▲ It can be seen that the coloring technique of the TC is also threezero style, with good realism and old painting. The overall effect after coloring is still very good.


▲ Especially this backpack, I really love it. It can be seen that the size of the two door wings on the back is relatively small, and the manufacturer should use two small pieces of glass in the rear half of the body, which perfectly solves the problem of excessively large doors.


▲ From the perspective of this human figure, it really has the taste of an indestructible and ultra-movable model. You must be curious how he compares with the styling of the previously highly acclaimed threezero DLX Gaiden Hornet?


▲ In terms of accessories, it comes with a combat mask and a hand cannon, which is also standard for the Hornet.

▲ The height is 6.7 inches, which matches the official MPM series.


▲ This small wing on the back is very similar to the movie.


▲ Comparing the TC, TE, and ZT human figures, it is clear that the TC humanoid is much better than the others.
