Title:

Bumblebee 2.0 With Spike MP-45

Description:
Cybertron Espionage Bumble (Ver. 2.0) (November 23, 2019)

ID number: MP-45

Hasbro release name: Bumblebee and Spike 2.0

Accessories: 2 faces, firing effect, small blaster, Spike Witwicky figure, I (heart) NY license plate

This Masterpiece "Cybertron Espionage” is an all-new mold of the Bumble character, transforming from robot into a show-and-toy-accurate Penny Racer-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He comes with his handgun, now with its own blast effect, 2 faces, a license plate from the episode "City of Steel”, and a small posable figure of Spike, which can fit in his vehicle mode. While the car mode can be displayed with the doors open, sitting the mini-figure in requires separating its front halves and folding up the windscreen+car hood assembly. Like the other Masterpiece Autobot cars, Bumble can fit in Convoy’s (MP-10 and MP-44) Trailer. Bumble comes with a sheet of optional stickers: Two hearts for his license plate, the ice cream splotches for his shoulders seen in "Child’s Play”, the brown disease patches seen in "Cosmic Rust”, and the Morphobot tentacle seen in "Quest for Survival”.

Unfortunately, due to the sake of show-accuracy, this Bumblebee ends up having most of his kibble present on his rear ankles and a glaring backpack when viewed at any angle other than his front, which also collides with his lower waist, effectively neutering the usage of his waist swivel.
After the official images’ reveal, Hasbro requested a number of sites (including a few listings like Amazon Japan) to take down the pictures, until they were allowed to post them again, several hours later. Initially set for a late September release, Bumblebee was pushed back to late November.
Bumble comes with a die-cast token modeled after the Matrix of Leadership, and like the collector coins, the token had Bumblebee’s head, the Masterpiece logo and the ID number engraved on it. Strangely enough, the box used for imported releases omits Bumble’s name and just refers him as "Cybertron Espionage” while the box itself retains Bumble’s (Japanese) name.
