Its still a test model though, there is no blue on top of his feet. At least I hope its a test model.

Not really, they are worldwide TRU exclusives.

Its not a guarantee. Unless I am mistaken, Bumblebee showed up online but Starsceam did not.

Also netclow(a very reliable eBay and Facebook seller) has mpm-03 bumblebee in stock
I will start by saying this - stunning. Simply stunning. He has that premium feel to him and he is much more articulated than the ROFT Leader class mold.
First things first - I might have fudge up the transformation to truck mode as some parts are difficult to tab in. But I blame user error and also the instructions was very small.
The robot mode is glorious and it replicates the CGI to the best of its ability. Everywhere is nice and tight. and he does not have the big backpack that plagued the ROFT mold and its subsequent retools.
The mask changing gimmick carried itself from the AOE AD-31 Armored Knight Optimus Prime. It is executed well here. Paint apps are spot on EXCEPT for the blue arch on his feet. The box seem to show the arches painted blue on his feet but seemingly absent here in the actual product. The flames are pin striped and there are no bleeding and smudges. Great work there.
Now here comes the part where everyone is wondering - where are the die-cast parts? The abs, the feet, the knees, headlights, inner parts of the legs. Yes, he has some heft to him.
He comes with his 2 blades and blaster. There is no where to stash or keep these weapons in robot mode and in truck mode, it haphazardly plugs at the back of the truck. Other than that, it is well made and has tons of detail on it.
As for the transformation, the upper body is totally different from the ROFT mold, but the waist down is familiar territory, mimicking the ROFT leader class transformation. And for those who are wondering, nope, you can't plug Jetfire or any of the 3rd party add ons. The design is evidently different to allow any integration of the older toys.
Would I recommend it? Hell yeah. The parts count are definitely higher and he feels solid all round. Definitely a keeper if you are into the Movie Masterpiece series.
Looks like a hinge to me. In fact, you can see them flexed back in a few photos and then out flush for whatever reason in othersUberSmaug wrote:Awesome, just awesome. One thing tho, those front headlights look like they should be able to fold back, no? If not its no biggie, this is still going to dethrone my buster prime for sure it just really look like they should fold back flush but in every pick they are sticking way out. Can anyone confirm that they are fixed stuck out like that or on a hinge.
