Other than the front end, it really isn't. Which is the big problem I have with this version and will not be buying it.

As others say, its feels like its trying to be legally distinct from a VW to not need a liscense, so I can't be "obviously" a sqaut VW Bug. The license is what makes Netflix Bee so unavailable. I'm surprised he even got the Goldbug repaint.
That's kind of how I feel about it. Like as a dumb child I knew what a VW Bug was but didn't realize Bumblebee was a deformed, squat version of it. In my mind I just accepted that Bumblebee was a VW Bug and left it at that.
Which means that Netflix 'Bee feels more like what I've always pictured the character as even though he's neither show or toy accurate.
While legal issues could contribute to it, I’d wager that another factor to the squareness is a future Cliffjumper retool.
Aw, that's a shame. You would have made a fine VW Bug.
Conversely I never saw VW Bugs but I sure did see Bumblebee a lot, so real Volkswagons are clearly the wrong shape.
I just saw the front of his car mode and knew what it was and my child brain just went "Bumblebee = VW Bug"
When I got Netflix Bumblebee I got this feeling like "yes this is the version that was always in my head" even though it wasn't accurate to either the toy or show.
Too bad it looks nothing like Cliffjumper either.
So, dumb but mildly interesting thing - yeah, that bomb that came with Studio Springer is way too big for him, just so he can hold it, but it's just about the right size for...whatever the hell this third party one was I got years ago. I think it was called Allen but I'll be damned if I remember who made it. Doubt it'll be useful info to anyone else, but maybe it'll at least be entertaining.
And then you look back and realize: WHERE WAS THE ENGINE?!?
What do you mean? It's right here!
It's some sort of......rotary engine?.....Held in place by 4 gigantic flathead screws?
guys, that's obviously a fan drawing in air to cool his internal fusion engine
Well, Beetle's were air cooled with a fan in roughly that position, so I suspect this may have been an attempt to portray that.

Random: you can store Comic Edition Gimmy’s crown securely in his tail with room to spare. Just gotta place it in there in a way that makes it fit right.
Closes up w/no problem. If it feels like you have to mash it up in there then you oriented it wrong.
