New Galleries: Masterpiece MPM-2 Bumblebee plus Costco Exclusive Battle Ops Bumblebee

These are still really nice figures.

Man I got that costco Bumblebee years ago at a Walmart and it was like 25 dollars Canadian I think so either someone screwed up or it was Costco trying to get rid of them by giving them to Walmart.

Is this what's it like to feel nostalgia?

A couple of days ago, we took a detailed look at the 2010 Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-2 Bumblebee, and it's Hasbro Costco exclusive counterpart, in the form of a new Seibertron.com gallery. Today we can debut our gallery of images for that figure's successor, MPM-3 Bumblebee! This figure is a brand new mold, and is just starting to hit retail world wide.

Our pictures show off the figure, his licensed Chevy Camaro alternate mode, as well as his battle mask and gun arm accessories. They also companies the new toy with some of the previous Movie Bumblebee figures, as well as the MPM-4 Optimus Prime. Check out a hand picked selection below, click on any image to be taken to the full gallery, and then come back here to let us know if the photos changed your mind on picking up this figure!

Such an awesome figure. Would have been extra nice if they'd included those HA Sam and Mikaela figures too as they're a pain to get without having to fork out for the full HA figure sets (and who needs HA Bee when you have MPM Bee?)

Seibertron.com is once again proud to bring to you our latest gallery! This time around we are featuring the brand new toy of Masterpiece Movie Series MPM-4 Optimus Prime! This toy is a brand new mold based on his original 2007 Movie design. This Optimus Prime features an intricate transformation that makes him the most movie accurate figure to date of the Autobot Leader. The figure is currently available for the price of $99.99 US dollars in Toys R Us stores across the United States.

Special thanks goes out to YouTube reviewer emgo316 for showing how to get pretty close to transforming this figure properly. We figured out an easier method after watching his video by squeezing the front side barrels upward while pressing downward on the roof top and making sure other panels along the way pegged in and lined up properly so that the smokestacks also plugged in correctly. Overall, it took about 2 hours to get this figure properly transformed correctly in truck mode. I'm sure many of you can beat it once you figure out how to do it correctly. His video can be found below the sample images from the gallery of Masterpiece Movie Series MPM-4 Optimus Prime below.

After you check out the images and emgo316's video, please let us know what you think of this amazing toy in the comments section below!

Here's the YouTube video from emgo316 that shows you how to get MPM-4 Optimus Prime transformed fairly closely in truck mode.

I really need to get this guy, but the lack of a nearby TRU and tight budget doesn't give me the confidence to get Optimus or Bumblebee. HELP!

Ah!

Loving this one. That's a Mutt Williams figure from the Indiana Jones toy line isn't it? Much easier to get than a HA Sam and while it might be a bit too big for scale with Bee's car form I think that looks great with Bee in robot mode since it's less obvious that he'd have to logically fit inside. I'll be looking out for that Mutt figure. Even likely to turn up in charity shop or car boot sale. I only wish that Bumblebee was too cos monies.

Yeah, no kidding man. The tolerances on this toy are a mess. It's like someone worse at designing Transformers tried to one-up RotF Leader Prime and failed hard. I don't recommend this to anyone that owns RotF OP.

i will say got mine a few days ago from hlj really like it a bit bid compared to the regular mp line but really nice its just a real hassle to get him back into car mode so everything lines up proper also was lucky enough to get one of the takara lucky draw shields for the voyager optimus prime the last knight

Excellent. Awesome Gallery as always form Ryan.

Loving this pic of the main Movie Prime molds, Deluxe and up.

Having bought Movie The Best MB-11 Prime, I don't really feel I need this though. Though I may pick him up if he's ever on clearance.

"Overall, it took about 2 hours to get this figure properly transformed correctly in truck mode."
Heh heh heh, um....NO. After the insane tolerance and alignment issues with my MP Exhaust, I think I'll skip Baypiece Prime.

But should he ever wind up in the clearance bin, well, I don't HAVE to transform him, now do I?
