I had the same thought.

EDIT: Bee is also looking a bit better for me, too. Maybe its just the closeup shot.

I just stick with TFP shockwave for my classics until a real shockwave comes out. MP bumblebee is all wrong for MP scale by cartoon standards, but might work well for classics if its the same height as an igear scout figure. But why did they have to give it that stupid fake car window in robot mode ? I would rather it have been a hatch like the classics figure. Magnus looks good. I can see all those people who bought KFC Citizen Stack bitch slapping themselves in frustration. And Im calling it...KO Marlboor Wheeljack (Takara is too sissy to promote cigarettes, even in a line meant for adult collectors)

What fake car window on bumblebee are you talking about?

You're gonna pay that much for something you don't like?


Why are the cloud molds so much? That makes no sense to me.

Then why include it in the first place? As I said unnecessary.

And then put the prototypes up for auction on E-bay hehe

Also on some other TF site that won't be named, there is a clear shot of Star Saber with a sign that CLEARLY shows 'no pictures'. LOL.

Because he had it on his back in the cartoon:



And it's not like the tire doesn't go anywhere in altmode:

TW03BII also has a back piece and it looks even more prominent.

Additionally TW03BII is missing nearly all the windshields around his torso, his hips aren't yellow, and head isn't cartoon-accurate (copied from Henkei it seems.) It does look like a cool toy, but I think MP-21 is "it."
