It's still just so wild to me that this and the Optimus Prime sets even exists. Hasbro literally has a line of Lego knock-off bricks called Kre-O that includes Transformers models. Lego is maybe their biggest competitor! But hey, I'm glad they've been able to come together for these two sets because they're really great!

It’s funny that Lego fans would take issue with the look of the car mode while Transformers fans wouldn’t. That’s pretty standard for Transformers toys. They have to have hinges and panels in order to function. That’s normal.

Now we need Decepticons. Megatron and Soundwave (with Rumble and Frenzy side build) OR Starscream

I always wanted to see lego transformers. Brings back seeing transformers costumes in 2016

I like how Lego keeps on improving sets over these years

[SirRoxy]

the moc by aranobilis98 i think is a lot better than the official model, it gets the scale better and with a nicer robot and car mode, however the lego head basically nails the original design.

[noire]

Megatron also iconic, but due to Lego's policies I don't think we will get him, I think Soundwave would be a great choice

[JAMMD]

You forgot to turn the hinges on the ends of the arms by his hands during the transformation. It looks cleaner and the hands are less obscure that way

[joermnyc]

Deceptacons they could do: Soundwave with his little cassette tape drones. Or go for the big multi robot assemblies like the Constructacons and Devastator!

[Tranquilityin]

I see no flaws in the car. It looks great rugged. All the fighting Bumblebee does how will the car look sleek? So this is more realistic. I love it.

Built it today, man is this set great! was not that hard either tbh, easily a 10/10 set.

I never got the news of this model, so when I saw it while passing through brisbane airport a couple weeks ago, I was quite suprised. And very tempted to buy it duty free.

Great review Tiago! Can't wait to see which Transformer comes out next! 😍

I don't want to say that the set's designer, Samuel Liltorp Johnson, did a bad job here, but I do feel like hachiroku24 did a better job at a LEGO G1 Bumblebee model compared to his work, as hachi's version doesn't require any "parts-forming, " and I kind of prefer the faceless battle mask instead of the official set's printed face.

I think it may also have to with this set coming off the heels of the LEGO Optimus Prime set, which was designed by the former Hasbro toy designer Joe Kyde, and he managed to build a LEGO Optimus Prime model that doesn't require "parts-forming."

[pradoxical]

might have to get this one because it transforms in a way that reminds me almost exactly of the way that a bumblebee figure I had when I was younger transformed.

[TFmotion]

1:53 He’s literally not more Iconic. He’s just The most popular with the kids

[coffeeinhandproductions]

I like how most of the stickers aren't really necessary for the final model. Overall the look/proportions are fairly decent, and car mode is a nice approximation of his non licensed Beetle vehicle mode. Really looking forward to picking this one up alongside the Optimus Prime this Summer.

[romulogallardo]

I hope the next 2 transformers are Megatron and Soundwave... I was really expecting Megatron before any other transformer because Optimus came with the energy axe and was ready to fight Megatron's energy morningstar

[voltge]

Well done, Tiago! I was pretty hyped for this when it first came out! If I could get both Optimus and bee for a good price i would do it!

[randomnickify]

If I can suggest a review - try latest Ninjago Cole's Titan Dragon Mech. Its basically closest Lego got to the Gundams and might interest Gundam collectors that aren't into Lego. It's worth promoting imho ;D
