Not for me.
I'm perfectly happy with me V1
Also the price!!!
No way is a mini bot worth $120 (£85 to me in the UK) especially when A) a perfectly good version already exists & B) 3rd parties are turning their Minibots out for about half that much
Takara just getting more & more greedy

I'm not understanding the huge price increases. This retails at $120, while the old MP-21 Bee (that comes with Spike in Exosuit) retails for only $80. Is there a big size difference in these 2 versions? (Also, MP-44 Prime is $450???)

That's fantastic... I've been trying really hard not to buy that, but I'm slipping...

no doubt... that thing looks like a joke! especially the feet! then the panel lines from all the shifting and the sides... then add in the absolute joke of it running $120 US... takara continues to go off the rails! lol
because the addicts will pay it... no 2 ways around it.
can't really blame takara for jacking the prices to 2 - 3 X on their stuff... if people are foolish enough to pay it, why wouldn't they keep going until people stop buying?
it really is an amazing figure!

Yeah, from the front, I think he looks okay. Probably more cartoon accurate. From the side it’s a mess of kibble and just looks bad. Also, they’ve completely sacrificed an accurate vehicle mode, I guess for the sake of making the bot mode more toon-like. The vehicle mode also seems to have a lot more unsightly panels. So, they’ve moved away from the realistic vehicle design in favor of going back to the more chibi-fied version of the VW Beetle. And yeah, as has been mentioned before, the price is also quite a bit higher than the original MP Bumblebee.

Managed to order before the page disappeared. That mean it's sold out?

I'll stick with my version 1 despite the crazy $120 price tag. I know TT was going for toon accuracy but that head is too big for that body. And the price tag on MP-44. $450?! Is there an even big enough demand for this? Again, I am sticking with my version 1.

It’s a cool enough one-off for me to pickup.
Unless they make a transforming Metroplex/GB Firehouse!?

The robot mode is awful on that ecto-1. I'd rather just a model of the car than this.
I was really tempted to get that for the packaging alone, but. . .nah. Robot looks horrific.
