Does the Megatron Transform though?

How disappointing

Okay, is it just me or does it look like the new bee toy is going to have a transformation gimmick that allows him to look both like the smaller version that we see in the trailer as well as the larger winged door version that we all know. Something about the way the knees look makes me think he can compress.

Yeah, it's a shame they haven't done a better job with the wheels on the legs – I hadn't noticed that the power core figure had the wheels in the legs hidden; that does look much better. I also fear that the supposed leak of the MPM a while back was real, as that had the same door and wheel design as all the other toys we've seen so far.

This is exactly what I'm hoping.   I'll probably pick up the Studio Series version too, as I do love the head sculpt, but hopefully the MPM will be just as good in that department (they nailed it with MPM-03).

I’m pretty convinced that that’s just an upscaled and tweaked studio series figure at this point. From what we can see it looks like it has the exact same transformation.

I find this design strangely appealing in a way not many transformers are, let alone bayformers…and despite my plans to strictly buy masterpiece from now on, I will probably end up with the studio series at the very least.

Yeah, it's a pity designs get altered after toys are way into the design and production process. I kind of wish the deluxe had a similar transformation to the power core gimmick figure. The leg transformation looks a lot neater, with the rear wheels nicely folded inside the leg, kind of where Camaro Bee has his. AS for the MPM, surprised it wasn't announced with all the other products, but I fear if it's due for release around the time of the movie, it'l probably have the inaccurate wings, like all the packaging renders  

My guess is that the MPM was initially meant to be revealed around the time of the film’s original release date. But when it was pushed back, an opportunity was seen for a redesign, which is why we haven’t seen the figure yet.

While the inability to hide the wings on bug bee is unfortunate, if it's anything like tlk bee the wings won't be on pins and will be easy to remove and reattach as needed. Not ideal, but it's better than nothing.

Hah! Watch them put a pin in it this one time…

I have to say that they have done a sterling job on Bumblebee's face sculpt:

A bit of silver Sharpie on the lines around the crest and on the vents, plus a bit of black wash on the silver and that will be pretty much perfect.

They also did a great job with his body and proportions:

It's just a bit of a shame that you have to ignore the giant backpack and door wings (most of the car seems to be hanging off his back)…

I can imagine the toy designer being all excited about the design: "And we finally got the door wings sorted so that the lower wings are made out of the rear windows. It looks *exactly* like the pictures you gave us!" "Er, about that…"

Still looking like a great figure, though. I just hope that the MPM version looks a little like this but with the door wings sorted, the leg wheels hidden, and better plastic and paint. They worked wonders with MPM-03, after all, in the way the whole roof of the car split up and tucked away inside his chest. (It's also a shame they didn't get such a good head sculpt on the 1977 Camaro figure – I'd love a better version of that, that actually looks more like the 2007 film version.)

Kinda how the fallen is bigger than prime until prime gains jetfire as armor. But megatron now seems to be the same height as powered up prime? Lol

Yup
