Transformers Masterpiece Bumblebee (Bumble) Red Body
This repaint of Masterpiece Bumblebee is an homage to the red variant of the Microchange Beetle that originated with Takara's Micro Robot series, and was later seen being sold in Transformers packaging. This release omits the Exo-suit. It is not Cliffjumper. Scheduled for release in December 2015 for 5,500 yen.

6 comments postedahh Bumblebee... it seems no matter how much we don't want it. Takara and Hasbro will continue to remold the same mold of the same character in another color.
Who wants to bet their doughnuts the next one will be the Mexican knock off version? Maybe even come in a wet stained, crumpled box with artistically faded logos?
^^^ Hey now zip it Rob. I love the red repaint and have crazy nostalgia for him. But I needsss the battlemask!
Hey, it'd be interesting to see El Roboto Chango's be properly recognized!
Spicy! I would absolutely buy that. There is a hole in my heart that no amount of toy robots can fill.... But I keep trying!
Have you tried Rustoleum's version of Flex-Seal? It works perfectly with voids in feeder lids, water tanks and that part of your heart. Though seriously I use Mr Cement Deluxe.
I think it'd be interesting to see multinational / brand alternate versions. they're making Diaclone Bluestreak. Maybe a Powered Convoy from Magnus isn't far off.
I'm still kinda bummed that when they reissued the original toy in Powered Convoy colours, they didn't include the parts that were left out from the Ultra Magnus version.
Then again, considering the Movie Preview ver. reissue costs about 30k yen now, I don't feel too bummed about it.
