Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

[Nevermore]

Is that a new background for Kup?

Yes. The original Studio Series release had the giant squid on Quintessa.

Comparison with Studio Series 86 Kup:

 

[lastmaximal]

Yeah the more I see of this Kup the more I like it over the first release. Helps that I still haven't gotten around to getting the first release, and so now I can skip it.

 

[Powered Convoy]

Only a couple of changes on Kup, but he's way better.

 

[MrBlud]

That pic from the Movie does that Kup no favors.

It’s not even close to looking near the same.

That said, this one is better than the original.

 

[Ultra Magnus13]

I'm not sure how much I care for the solid window on Cliff, but the rest seems to be an improvement, so I'm all in since I missed the wfc release.

Kup looks a lot better, but I barely liked him enough to get the first time, so no way am I double dipping.

As for his background I think someone said his new one is a reuse of Blurrs.

 

[The Predaking]

Yes. The original Studio Series release had the giant squid on Quintessa.

I wish that you had just lied to me, as now I want it.

 

[LordGigaIce]

I'm not sure how sold I am on this Cliffjumper. The sculpt is incredibly detailed and real world accurate for a figure that's both at a retail price point and from two cars smashed together.
The cartoony solid windows kind of ruin that look for me.

Same reason why TT's slavish Sunbow accurate decos are a turnoff for me.

 

[lastmaximal]

The side by sides do have me feeling that. Looks great in robot mode, less so in altmode, for me.

 

[Glitch]

They've still got to make that Squid.

Sorry it's my only takeaway from those pics.

 

[Sciflyer]

Yeah, that Kup does look better and if I did not already have the SS86 version, I'd get it. I like the eyes and the grey wheels on this new version quite a bit. Cliffjumper looks cool too. I would probably pick him up if I saw him in the wild, but I am not going out of my way for him.

 

[The Predaking]

I just really want that background for a display...

Anyone want to sell me theirs?

 

[TooDudical4U]

Since it appears the Buzzworthy branding won't be going away for the foreseeable future, I though we might as well give it its own thread to avoid cluttering other related threads with stuff that doesn't really belong there.

I think that ss86 cliffjumper and kup being released in the buzzworthy line is cool, i feel like it's a cashgrab for tooners lol.

 

[Kup]

Well. Looks like I’m adding another Kup to my collection. Deco is phenomenal. Really what SS86 should have been all along.

[LBD "Nytetrayn"]

Handsome lad.

 

[Donocropolis]

I do like the grey better than the black, but not enough to rebuy him, especially with the painted windows. If I ever saw it on deep discount, I could see buying it and Frankenstein-ing together a version with clear windows and grey limbs.

 

[lastmaximal]

Yeah the pins in the shoulders and feet are all you need to remove. The shoulders are a bit hard to hammer out though; a soldering iron may be better.

Idk though. I may keep both and find a way to make ER Cliff a G2 Hubcap or something. (is there any other red whatever version in the many many many minibot redecos?)

The shades of red are different, though, aren't they?
