What's the point of making the front of the body so slim if everything is thrown into the back? The back of the feet even.
Takara has gone too far with the "fake parts" this time. I look at Prowl and Wheeljack and the original MP Bumblebee and they look so elegant.
Did they rush this for the sake of the show?Hellscream9999 wrote:Nope, this is just what happens when you don't use the vehicle mode for parts of the body, you suddenly have lots of extra kibble left over and that inevitably has to go somewhere - but at least we can all take comfort in that it looks good from exactly 1 angle, which I guess is the new standard of what MP means![]()
Yes, but the new MP Prime bascially replaces everything during transformation except for the smoke-stacks yet he looks good. And Sunstreaker's not bad either.
This Bumblebee just feels rushed.
IMO they should have got it right with the "fake parts" or alternatively, used the same engineering as MP-21 -- but from a chibi Beetle. (With extra articulation and such.)
Not crumple everything unto the back for the sake of a smaller unnecessary front. (Especially since my favourite art-style from the show is the more angular / "thicker" one. But that's my preference.)
I wonder if the designers feel okay with the result.

Cartoons only look good in two dimensions. From his one good angle he looks anorexic and from every other angle he appears to be missing panels to hide all the junk in his trunk. His weird big head isn't helping his cause either.Hellscream9999 wrote:but at least we can all take comfort in that it looks good from exactly 1 angle, which I guess is the new standard of what MP means

More like this is what happens when mass shifting isn't real and they can't figure out how to shrink the car mode down into a smaller robot.

...when Takara releases another figure of the same character that we all purchased just a few years ago, it's like telling us all that we have to spend more money on the same character.

And with a Chibi alt-mode (shorter car) + Takara's evolved engineering, a new MP Bee could have had a competently clean back. Because you wouldn't have the extra real-world shell piece to deal with, plus, there's still room inside the torso to tuck things..
