I hope this sells well entirely because I want a Soundwave

I find it funny that Lego people don't like it, but the usually very pessimistic Transformers people do like it alot

Edit: So, I understand that these communities are absolutely monolithic and one opinion doesn't fit everyone in it. But you do have to understand that I am sourcing these opinions as the majority of both fandoms. I am a Lego person, and I am even more so a Transformers person. Transformers people like the toy for the most part, we are fussy at times but we know when to have reasonable expectations. And Lego fans as far as I can see expected probably a bit too much with it, the toy is a heavy margin smaller than Prime, and so stability was a majorly important factor. Observations is all, understand that

This is a must-have for me. It will look so nice next to my Optimus.

hopefully this becomes a series as a lego g1 grimlock that can be ridden by the g1 optimus in robot mode would be so cool!

a lego devastator would also be awesome but a pain in the ass to make and a small fortune im sure

I love this set, it looks even better in person. Bumblebee 🐝 is also my favorite transformer.

As both Lego, and Transformers collector I quite like how this turned out, and can't wait to build display this. Bug mode is absolutely fine for what it is, and the transformation is a lot more involved having about as many steps if not more than a modern deluxe significantly smaller in size. Not sure how Megatron would work as I don't see Lego creating him as either a gun or tank, but Soundwave would be really cool. On the Autobot side Cliffjumper would be fun to see as all they would have to change is the exterior paneling and face print.

Lego missed a trick. The original toys had thermally-activated stickers which revealed the autobot (or deception) logos when you warmed them with your thumb. The idea was that, in car mode, the bots were incognito. That would’ve been a cool, cheap & easy detail to include rather than just a regular sticker

[themachine]

Me personally as the 13 year-old I am I love the fact that it has functionality as well as looks completely fine car mode in robot mode with Optimus

[therandomnarwhal]

I’m just very excited to see another transformer. I hope we get more and without a 2 years gap!

[davidmanconi]

When I first saw Bumblebee I wasnt sold on him. But seeing this video sold me it would be a good edition to the collection.

[Iamgroot]

I just purchased this set to go with my Optimus Prime. I love this bumblebee 🐝 set it’s so cool

[macfanguy]

Fun little set, I thought it a good deal. Love the robot mode.

[Xanjer]

I've got the set twice and love it
Can't wait for lego to announce the next lego transformer

[PhilNubbins]

I would LOVE to see a Lego Starscream set

[superpixelwarrior]

I honestly would’ve loved if the set came with those alternate face prints. And maybe future Lego transformers could do the same

[idk-mdhx]

I absolutely would get this! Looks 10/10!

[ericheckenkamp]

Fun Fact: In the microchange line, the alt mode for Bumblebee is a toy car, a Penny Racer, which is why it has those weird proportions and huge silver plate on the back. It was designed to be a 1:1 scale transformer.

[timehunter]

I like that it uses the same joints as Exo Force, they were the best for mechs and stuff.

[SarcasticTentacle]

I really like the vehicle mode, it looks chunky and off model sure, but it's got a good cartoony quality to it.

[rudyvalle]

I'm getting it. I look forward to all the mods from the community like we got with the Prime set.
