I am absolutely loving that early concept! I love version 1 body the most with the head of version 2 and the feet of version 2....so an amalgamation of the 2 so far.

Very promising so far.

My goodness that's ugly. Aesthetics are terrible.

Some design choices seem heavily influenced by Don Figueroa and the 2006 Generations figure (Feet and backpack respectively).

I'll wait and see where this goes, however if I have to pick I'd say the chest of 1, the arms of 2, unsure of the legs, the feet of 2 and re-do the head (or simply remove all those unnecessary lines on his face's) and back (Absolutely no need to make him fat like that).

Bumblebee has always been a chubster ;)

You can tell its still very early. I'd prefer Bumblebee less thick than what it is currently, and you can bet all those lines won't be on the statue. My guess is that thats used to get an general idea of how much or how little details (extra details rather) they are going to include on him. If it's one thing I would like for XM to stay as close to as possible on the TF line is...try to keep the heads / face as close to the G1 cartoon as possible. Little extra details is fine, but not overtly so.

considering they are still about to release Optimus, and after Starscream... wonder when we will see other ones... 2020? It will take SOOOO long. But maybe this is a good idea considering the price of those statues.

There was an interview recently where XM said they would show a few TF statues around SGTCC (or whatever that thing is called).

I imagine once they start releasing, putting up for pre-order there will be a quick turn around between statues.

According to Ben Ang, they are currently waiting for the printing to be done on this piece. Man, so looking forward to the reveal....
