My 2 cents: Having this MP Bumblebee getting packaged with a legends/commander scale Exo-suit transforming Spike figure SEEMS LIKE BAD NEWS. It just reminds me of the mess that the $29.99 HA Movie toys had. Often times being packaged with a legends toy with a 2 inch human figure meant,the bigger toy in this set received tons of short cuts. the bigger toy was smaller & had lower sculpt.

This certainly looks like a deluxe scale MP Bumblebee toy. with what looks like a legends/Basic sized Exo-suit transforming Spike toy.

Personally I dis-like multi-packs as I don't like paying for items I don't like in the gift set. With this toy,I'd rather buyers got the option of only buying the singular MP Bumble minus the exo-suit spike figure or buying everything in a gift set type box.

I Think these voyager/Deluxe scale MP TF Cars-bots toys are a pure waste of talent,resources,slots,time & plastic. While takara/Hasbro is wasting 2+ years releasing these things,They could have released other Bigger MP TF toys instead,like 1986 G-1 MP Galvatron,Masterforce Overlord,MP TF Combiners, More 1985 MP Dinobots,MP BW toys,Eight or nine inch size 1986 G-1 Cyclonus & Scourge. 1985 MP TF Shockwave,MP G-2 Megatron,Perhaps Eighth or nine inch MP TF Tripple changers for Astrotrain & Blitzwing,etc...

Regarding the MP Bumblebee toy. I would of rather liked to see a 2014 Newer design VW Bug design,The retro old school VW Bug looks terrible. I don't like the weird sculpt on the lower legs,they look like Gym workout ankle weights. My guess is the toy will be deluxe sized. Having this be the same size as MP Sideswipe,MP Prowl & MP Wheeljack would be wrong. Personally,I don't need this,I've never been a Bumblebee toy/media fan.

I'm hoping this isn't the start of more G-1 Minibots getting the MP TF deluxe/voyager sized toys. Because doing this will waste time,resources,talent & taking away MP TF toy slots away from other BIGGER sized,higher command ranking TF character toys,That I think deserve the MP TF toy treatment more/First like as follows: 1986 Galvatron,MF Overlord,Combiners,1986 Cyclonus,1987 Sixshot.

TFW2005 has found some images of the gray prototype figure. Looks like it'll come with a Spike in a transforming Exo-suit figure and Bumblebee will have a removable face-plate.

Overall, looks like a very nice version of the character and it's good to see even the small characters getting Masterpiece treatment.
