@ZiYT4227 My Optimus Prime is currently in a zip lock bag in many pieces
My first transformer, and my first Lego
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**
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
tbh, I think it'd be...
"OPTIMUS!"
~ Sam
Yep
Soundwave really is kind of a home run choice for official lego tfs
His alt mode is super lego-esk already, he's easy lego colors, he's not a Military vehicle, you can give him minicons as additional accessories, his transformation is simple, and he's an iconic decepticon. He is the objective best choice
@@judee.7186 I agree with you. but I doubt Lego will include his minicons because it would probably raise the price for him.
The only issue would be the knees. You'd have to make some really freaking strong knees and have them bend the reverse direction for the transformation. That is hard to do
@@kboy1158 at least laserbeak
@@judee.7186I'd love to see it but this latest release for me as both a big LEGO and Transformers fan worries me they are trending in the wrong direction. Optimus for me seemed very Transformers fan focused, while Bumblebee was more LEGO influenced. As for the minicons....cool idea but I think it will be tough to pull off at that scale using actual LEGO pieces.
5:20 *_"GIVE ME YOUR FACE!"_*
And we never saw Bee with the Faceplate
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
Do yourself a favor: look up StudentScissors.
It can work! at a smaller scale than Lego's doing it.
But another thing is those Kreo minifig transformers weren't very stable. They were cool but everytime I saw them being trasnformed reviewers would pop off pieces on accident
7:54 CLUTCHPOWER?!?
IMPOSSIBLE
@StinkyBlueRat This is surprising that you commented on this channel.
Yo what???
Well this was unexpected by me
Enough… CLUTCH… POWER!? CLUTCH POWERS REFERENCE??!?!!
I STILL SEE THE X
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
Guess they didnt think like that back in 08 considering them bionicle joints that break and get loose exsist
Eh, that is a fair argument. But i would give the figure brownie points if it had knees, like the ones on the titan cole mech from earlier this year, where it had pistons so the bend at the knee would be more frictiony. But bumblebee must transform so out the window with that!
Then what is the point of 18+ if they are still working under the constraints?
@@lucarionuva9543because the truth is that the 18+ subline is just a marketing strategy to make adults not feel like losers when buying a kids toy
@@Boraxizyumthey lose friction over time and there was somethijg wrong with the mold cooling that fucked up the pieces
This thing gives heavy titans return legends bee vibes
Huh. Now that you mention it, I can see that. Yea.
People have been making LEGO transformers with solid backs
but custom builders dont have to adhere to the strict stability and ease of build rules and budget restrictions that lego designers have to deal for their sets, of course custom builds are better, cus they can use any techniques the builder wants, no matter how illegal or complex or fragile, can use as many parts as the builder wants, its the same argument as comparing third party transformers to official hasbro ones, theyre operating on completely different sets of parameters to the point where the comparison is just not fair in the slightest
are any of them NEARLY as big as this one?
@@mr.timusproductions116 even the smaller ones like ixrolloutx’s transformers have more complex transformations than LEGO Optimus prime and LEGO bumblebee
@@mr.timusproductions116 I fail to see how size factors into any of the arguments that Ive presented above
@@Kriviach Right. At the end of the day these are toys, toys that primarily cater to children and thus have to follow guidelines for those rules. Moc creators and third party don't need to follow those rules because either they aren't being sold or already legally "ambiguous".
“Bro is not making it out alive”
*shows a b-roll of bumblebee getting his shit rocked*😂
"theres only so much you can do with lego"
Lego transformers fans pre optimus prime set release making masterpiece quality transformer out of lego.
StudentScissors anyone?
The thing is that those mocs would most definetly not pass legos stability and safety standards
@@legonerd0666 ik I'm just messing around, but from what I've seen most unstable builds are for the movie designs and G1 designs are normally pretty solid.
@@cyankoopa8111 his mocs are nice
there's also a size thing with all of the ones I've seen-
They're small-
These lego sets.. are h u g e
There is a difference there-
Lego Voltron may honestly be the best set Lego has ever made, but it's so expensive to get now.
Prime rlly did say give me your face 🤣💀
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 !
As someone who got Lego Voltron day 1 I can confirm it is epic!!
Can’t wait to build BB this weekend!
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.
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’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'd love a, maybe new theme?, of Lego Transformers that are abt $50-$100 each (average). They won't be replacing Generations or any nonsense you (someone; not you, specifically) may come up with. They just would prioritize articulation and proportions _more_ than (Icons) Bumblebee and Optimus. They could even create new pieces to improve stability for different joints, etc, as well as (create new pieces to) help with certain design elements of the characters.
Y'know Lego's already obsessed with the Buildable Figures, right? So, why not do this? It'd be really cool!
I’m I the only one who thinks bumblebee’s robot mode looks terrible?
No, I agree with you. 👍
I wish Lego could have added some sort of compressing features for vehicle mode so he doesn't look like he has goose legs😂😂
Yep it looks like crap and they should've made it smaller. But lego like to jack the piece count for $$$ not for better builds
Yes
Yeah there's something about the arms. Seem too stubby.
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.
ThatToyGuy, i own that lego Voltron, i got it as a gift way back when, and trust me
YOU NEED IT
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.
Shut the hell up
That "There is no Stretcher" Part had me Dying 🤣
I love when I fall into a river and a comically large Volkswagen beetle runs over me to rescue me
Although I hate how it looks I'm still going to get it lol
hopefully the next one they make will actually have knees
The original prototype for bee had knees but Lego told the designers to get rid of them because Lego prioritizes stability more than articulation
Doesn't have enough... *CLUTCH POWERS!?*
Something I will always love about these videos is bro nonchalantly including family. It is so authentically iconic.
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!
lego G1 megatron would be peak lego
Even though this isn't the best, I'm still getting it! My prime needs a friend
I was expecting either Soundwave or megatron to be the next Lego Transformer, but Bumblebee is FINE I guess.
Megatron is probaply the most unlikely to be made simply bc lego have very strict rules against toys based on modern military stuff like tanks
@@legonerd0666 I mean that's also the issue with Lego.
If anyone remembers the Transformers Kre-O, you're a legend.
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.
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.
Can you do a video review of the Bionicle bohrok? They are official LEGO transformers that came out before LEGO optimus prime.
PrespectiveEnd shivering his timbers from the partsforming
I think a tank Megatron would have been a better pairing with Optimus than a G1 style Bumblebee, something even Hasbro struggles with.
good transformation
Apparently this guy was meant to have knees but Lego had the designers remove them
Genuine question, why? What’s the upside to having less articulation?
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.
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)
Am i the only one who noticed the "pull out" sticker on the back bumper? 💀
Roll out
@@jimmyhingst4163 sure if that's what that kids are calling it these days
@@RamonaVirus 😭😅😅 I’m gonna start using that now😭🙏
@@jimmyhingst4163 glad I could be of service 😘
4:18 You could say it has been made to bring freedom, peace, justice and security to this galaxy and it’s new empire
mezzanine ho
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 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.
I had no idea this thing even came out. I just knew the listings for it leaked and soon enough it just came out.
5:11
"YA CAN'T SEE HIM, HIS TIME IS NOWWWW...!!"
🤗
I got Optimus Prime for my birthday right after they announced Bumble Bee. So yeah, Lego is making hell for me
Just ordered mine can’t wait for it
Bruh that Cole Train jumpscare got me lol
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
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.
Fun fact the designers originally had it have knees but lego said no it was a bad idea not for support
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
Thanks for showing us the bumblebee face plate on Optimus prime.
It looks so much funnier than I thought it would.
The fact that your Lego Optimus Prime review is already 2 years old is crazy
The weapon's butt can peg on a side mirror to form a robot turret, or handle for some mobster drive-by.
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.
Those hands remind me of movie Brawl
Lego Soundwave is definitely next choice
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.
Love the intro
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
BUMBLE-BRICK!
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
Optimus prime really did just take bees head off
In France it's like 90 euros, which seems less expensive even with conversion, so that's a better price imo
I had the Lego Voltron set and even though it IS super cool, it was also quiet boring to build because the animal bots are too similar. But assembling and disambling Voltron itself was quite cool. I still think it could have been done better though. Making movable and posable legs aren't THAT difficult but I guess Lego whines about this and that and "it must be sturdy, it mustn't fall over and injure kids, yadda-yadda-yadda".
The big shoulders remind me of shoulder pads if you think about it.
great derek laufman stickers
Each time I transform Optimus he is guaranteed to have something pop off and I have to work out how it goes back together
I have to buy this!
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
this design is growing on me it's like a giant titans return bee
I really feel like we could’ve skipped the parts forming and he could’ve just had a big body chest instead.
Scored it for 90 at the Lego store in south Carolina going on the shelf right next to Optimus
He’s also got ankle swivel!
I was really excited to pick this up, but then I saw the Optimus Prime one, and I just think this one looks so bland in comparison now. I think that's just how the design of the character was for what they're referencing, but Optimus Prime is so much more eye-catching and interesting to look at. A lot more detail.
I feel really bad, because I LOVE Bumblebee. But I feel like if I'm going to spend money on a Transformers LEGO, I will do it on the more detailed and bigger Optimus Prime.
5:28
Not content with simply taking the faces of his enemies, Optimus Prime has begun taking the faces of the very Autobots he leads into battle! Will anyone be able to stop the rampage of this rabid renegade? Or will he leave the battlefield riddled with faceless husks?
Find out next time, on Dragon-Ba... Wait, whoops, wrong franchise.
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
Everything is awesome
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)
Prime took Bumblebee's face for a minute. Prime is still on edge of taking faces
There must have been SOMETHING they could have done for better posing.
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.
I wish they went with a more g1 toy design instead personally
I heard it's because lego hates knees on mechs and that carries over to lego transformers
Welcome to Costco. I love you
We need some lego decepticons
Megatron is my top choice for another one.
I’m eight years old and I built that bumblebee Lego set
Imagine a Grimlock Lego set
I love him!
That Intro is good 😂 I can't stop laughing at it your review is perfect prime Vs primes review was absolutely boring and he shows no box since he stole it
£80 in the UK whereas Optimus was £180
