Who remembers Kre-o transformers

Sam has fallen into the river of lego city! ¡BUMBLEBEE! *Build bumblebee* *Transform him* And roll out to save the sreaming man! New lego transformers **sets each sold separately**

Soundwave really is kind of a home run choice for official lego tfs

5:20 *_"GIVE ME YOUR FACE!"_*

7:54 CLUTCHPOWER?!?

As a half Lego half transforms fan, I feel like the two ideas only merge so much. Optimus worked because of his realistic size as a European truck, but bumblebee completely messes that up because of the limitations of Lego pieces and budgets compared to his small size and somehow even smaller alt mode. I think they did the best they could without making the two look like minifigs, like kre-o did, though some of those figures could still transform while at minfig scale, I still have the transforming cliff jumper

Enough… CLUTCH… POWER!? CLUTCH POWERS REFERENCE??!?!!

Unfortunately, stability is tantamount. Lego's biggest fear is a kid dropping a toy, pieces flying everywhere, kids crying, parents annoyed and never buying lego again. So they limit articulation to ensure that 9/10 times when a kid sets a figure down, it just stands up on its own. >shrugs

This thing gives heavy titans return legends bee vibes

People have been making LEGO transformers with solid backs

Lego Voltron may honestly be the best set Lego has ever made, but it's so expensive to get now.

“Bro is not making it out alive” *shows a b-roll of bumblebee getting his shit rocked*😂

Prime rlly did say give me your face 🤣💀

"theres only so much you can do with lego" Lego transformers fans pre optimus prime set release making masterpiece quality transformer out of lego.

I’m hoping we will get more Lego Transformers, but at a smaller scale. I think a smaller scale, like that akin to various fan builds, might help them be easier to design, if the various fan builds are anything to go by. Minifigure scale would be perfect.

I hate how tiny his forearms are, especially when compared to his giant and awkwardly placed shoulders

The Fan made MOCs of Hachiroku24 and aranobilis98 are just way better in my opinion. They scale well with the official Optimus Prime and VW Beetle looks better and also better articulation. If they were given an official treatment from lego it would have been perfect.

I like the little explaining about the designers and that helps to appreciate the thing a bit more but yeah i had high expetations for this and i probably shouldn't have. I don't know, i want to like it but i don't. The build looks fun tho ! great video as always !

Looks more like a Suzuki Swift like Takara's Alternity Bumblebee/Cliffjumper/Goldbug. And hell yeah, Lego stuff absosmurfinlutely can go on sale or even on clearance, it's how I got my Lego Star Wars Luke Skywalker's X-Wing Fighter...what was a bigass $90USD set when it first came out had dropped down to $50 by the time I finally chose to pull the trigger on it (that and it was just mocking me like "you'll never be able to get any other GOOD X-Wing if you keep passing me up"). On the other hand, the Poe Dameron X-Wing Fighter wasn't so lucky, that thing had more parts to be fair, but it *stayed* the full $90 the entire time it was on the shelf at Target.

As someone who got Lego Voltron day 1 I can confirm it is epic!! Can’t wait to build BB this weekend!

Something I will always love about these videos is bro nonchalantly including family. It is so authentically iconic.

I’m I the only one who thinks bumblebee’s robot mode looks terrible?

People love to forget that this is making a big figure on a BUDGET in the lego company. Yes fans make more cohesive designs. But those are not restricted to be sold in stores so need to be super solid.

hopefully the next one they make will actually have knees

That "There is no Stretcher" Part had me Dying 🤣

Although I hate how it looks I'm still going to get it lol

Doesn't have enough... *CLUTCH POWERS!?*

Considering Bee's not entirely small, and hugely out of scale with Prime, and is about 900 pieces the 120 doesn't feel half bad. Prime is about $240 with a piece count of about 1500 which isn't exactly great. Definitely planning to get both at some point this year as they look great together. Would have been nice to see ankle tilt on the Bee though. Really wanted the Voltron but before I could it was unjustly retired.

I was expecting either Soundwave or megatron to be the next Lego Transformer, but Bumblebee is FINE I guess.

ThatToyGuy, i own that lego Voltron, i got it as a gift way back when, and trust me YOU NEED IT

I love when I fall into a river and a comically large Volkswagen beetle runs over me to rescue me

I can't wait to get my hands on this bumblebee.I always love: "This video is made for adult collectors because: *Insert funny*" Keep it up my man!

I love these Lego Transformers set and I certainly love this Bumblebee. And I think that grey circle hinge in the middle of the windshield? It's supposed to represent the VW logo's placement in the beetles! (I think)

This set is awful, Alanyuppie78 made a bumblebee in scale to the official lego Optimus and it’s much, much better. “It’s lego” shouldn’t be an excuse for how terrible this bumblebee is.

lego G1 megatron would be peak lego

Just ordered mine can’t wait for it

PrespectiveEnd shivering his timbers from the partsforming

Apparently this guy was meant to have knees but Lego had the designers remove them

Am i the only one who noticed the "pull out" sticker on the back bumper? 💀

Can you do a video review of the Bionicle bohrok? They are official LEGO transformers that came out before LEGO optimus prime.

As a 40-ish year old fan of both Transformers and Lego, these sets are pretty much aimed specifically at me as a target audience. And I like the Optimus; I have this Bee waiting for me when I get home from vacation. I like how these vehicles kind of remind me of really *old* lego sets, like from the 80s. The side windows on this and the windshield definitely give me vibes of older large Lego vehicles and sets. Optimus also used mostly classic bricks that have been around forever - some new one, but I still enjoyed the feeling of "yeah, I could have actually built like *most* of this back in the day*. I'm still contemplating doing that experiment at some point; I still have all my old legos and it'd be interesting to see how far I could get.

If anyone remembers the Transformers Kre-O, you're a legend.

Even though this isn't the best, I'm still getting it! My prime needs a friend

good transformation

Love the intro

The difference in experience of the two designers is an interesting note. Hearing the different backgrounds of the designers, you can really start to see it in the builds. I'm personally more on the Lego side of things so I find it interesting more than anything. A side note about the Bumblebee designer and the whole model vs action figure thing, I saw an interview with the designer on a different channel and he was asked if the build was play tested with children (like literally PLAY tested) and he sort of sidestepped by saying it was tested with a variety of people and pointed out it was an 18+ set. Soooo yeah definitely more of a model than anything. Even as a Lego person and only the most casually aware of Transformers toy expectations I feel like they should have incorporated at least a little play into it. Yeah, I know the transformation is in and of itself a play feature, but idk. I feel like this one especially could have been more fun. I'm always interested to hear how Transformers fans feel about these sets.

LEGO Optimus for me felt like a love letter from LEGO to Hasbro Transformers collectors. Bumblebee seems like a LEGO forward cash grab riding the wave of Optimus.

The weapon's butt can peg on a side mirror to form a robot turret, or handle for some mobster drive-by.

I had no idea this thing even came out. I just knew the listings for it leaked and soon enough it just came out.

Fun fact the designers originally had it have knees but lego said no it was a bad idea not for support

I have to buy this!

I think a tank Megatron would have been a better pairing with Optimus than a G1 style Bumblebee, something even Hasbro struggles with.

Bruh that Cole Train jumpscare got me lol

I will probably get this set at some stage, but I will wait for a sale. I got prime on sale recently for 50 euro off which was really nice

4:18 You could say it has been made to bring freedom, peace, justice and security to this galaxy and it’s new empire

The fact that your Lego Optimus Prime review is already 2 years old is crazy

I mean, there ARE ways to fix some of the bits, like adding knees and such, it IS lego after all. You just need the right pieces.

Everything is awesome

Those hands remind me of movie Brawl

Thanks for showing us the bumblebee face plate on Optimus prime. It looks so much funnier than I thought it would.

BUMBLE-BRICK!

I love him!

Personally I buy these as Lego sets so the lack of articulation doesn’t really bother me My main issues are how oversized the shoulders are to hold the wheels and that the roof keeps falling off the collar when adjusting those bits

I actually like Bee a lot more than prime. Prime is so dang wobbly that it scares me so much. Bee feels like it locks in so much in every position. If I wanted a super poseable bee I’d get an actual transformer.

this design is growing on me it's like a giant titans return bee

great derek laufman stickers

5:11 "YA CAN'T SEE HIM, HIS TIME IS NOWWWW...!!" 🤗

Scored it for 90 at the Lego store in south Carolina going on the shelf right next to Optimus

The difference is the jet pack and bumper aren’t necessary it’s an accessory the windscreen is and cannot be removed without massive issues Also I wish there was weapon storage

Each time I transform Optimus he is guaranteed to have something pop off and I have to work out how it goes back together

7:53 funny that it wouldn't be a problem if lego didn't lowered clutch power somewhere in 2000's(probably in 2003, when they changed main color palette)

He’s also got ankle swivel!

i really want this, but it hasnt come out in australia yet, and it costs a LOT, but still, i can hope that they put it on sale because america and canada, you guys are lucky.

In France it's like 90 euros, which seems less expensive even with conversion, so that's a better price imo

Okay 😅

mezzanine ho

I think overall, Lego Bumblebee is really, really quite good. The carmode is quite well-done considering the lack of VW licence, it just looks really good, too. The botmode is really good. I like the different building techniques to capture different aspects of the design. I like the face. The gun is good. And, I really like the bumper details. The Goldbug and Bumblebee bumper stickers, "I ❤ Cybertron", etc are very good and cute details! And, all that for $90 (USD)! Thats a pretty good deal. Yea, I know, he could've and should've have knees. They should've found a stable way to do so. But, its fine. Not a huge deal. And, yea, his shoulders are a little too big, but thats completely fine, too. And, the partsforming, too, but I don't give a scrap; its no big deal. And, yes, the proportions aren't the best, but who really cares? Its still a good Lego Bumblebee! Its not like its trying to be like Generations (SS, LGY, etc)! Also, if you ask me, Soundwave is a no-brainer for the next one. His transformation and design are simple enough, hes an extremely popular character (for good reason), and he could be done very easily at $90 (USD) for base, and a little more for (at least, a couple of) his Minicons. Totaling up to probably, say, $110 (USD) or so? Also, hes a Decepticon, while both our current ones are Autobots.

As a Lego Star Wars and Transformers collector, I think the price is about what I expected. I plan on buying it sooner or later but I do still have to get Armada Tidal Wave, so it'll be a while.

I really feel like we could’ve skipped the parts forming and he could’ve just had a big body chest instead.

i feel like if they got the guy who designed optimus to design bee this couldve been so much better like you dont hire a car designer to build a robot do you

The big shoulders remind me of shoulder pads if you think about it.

Lego Soundwave is definitely next choice

I got Optimus Prime for my birthday right after they announced Bumble Bee. So yeah, Lego is making hell for me

Megatron is my top choice for another one.

Optimus prime really did just take bees head off

I feel like if they were to do another, Megatron would be next. Then Soundwave, Shockwave, and/or Starscream. I hate the legs on Bee but I hate the legs on G1 Bee too so not gonna punish the set for that. Wish it was a bit more poseable but Bee doesn't really have any iconic or recognizable poses like Prime. I'd say pice is maybe $15-25 too much but I might get it anyway

LEGO Bee is an interesting companion piece to Optimus because I think Bee does a couple of things better than Optimus, mainly the stability and the general look. Optimus looked nice, but I think Bee looks a little more refined. However, Optimus does feel much more complete as an overall package due to his accessories and him being more poseable. Optimus' transformation is also a little better than Bee's because it doesn't have partsform technically, and is a little more straight forward and more intuitive because Bee felt a little flimsy in that aspect. As a LEGO fan, I think Bumblebee's pretty good, and while it's still expensive, he's an easier sell compared to how expensive Optimus is. I don't know if I'd say Bee is better than Optimus, but I like both.

I wish they went with a more g1 toy design instead personally

As someone who builds lego a lot, i could probably make knee joints for prime But probably not for bee First i need to buy prime

Hey TTG, or anyone that can answer, i need your help Is the Dark of the Moon Deluxe Bumblebee a good replacement for the Studio Series Bumblebee?

i can vouch the lego voltron is SOOO good

Welcome to Costco. I love you

5:40 - does this mean that u could make a goldbug face by switching with prime's eyes and faceplate?

Prime took Bumblebee's face for a minute. Prime is still on edge of taking faces

Hey do you know what experience and fields these designers went into?

I'm waiting for the duplo versions

This thing could be better

Bee looks the titan returns

Imagine a Grimlock Lego set

We need some lego decepticons
