- Just here to drop my 2 cents on this, Basically, the summoning in DMO does not say summoning, yet Fanbee summons other ones to his side to use the ability, even in area's where Fanbee doesnt exist, hence summoning.
Wait, so 88 Call is an ability specifically from DMO?
From 00potato himself: "Masters isn't really mainline canon, so why are you using it? It is an MMO adaptation. Compare his size in an actual game or the anime."
Why even merge canon and noncanon abilities together, even then there's no official description of the ability and as I pointed out above it's not part of his official ability -

And as you can see here, it doesn't even look like he's specifically "summoning" other bee friends -
https://youtu.be/2RIZf2HsiU0?t=30
You can see him "summon" another bee who I'll call 1 while being away from 1 who is near his opponent, then they assault the opponent together. But do you notice that Fanbeemon is far away while 1 is near the opponent while they're attacking him? If anything, that's some limited Illusion Creation with Puppetry; since after all do you really expect Fanbeemon to somehow damage his opponent from afar with his own hands when there's a concept called distance between them
But my points are moot since it's an ability from Masters which isn't really mainline canon as told by 00potato himself
- In the fandom/wikimon description for the ability, it specifically states summoning fanbee's to his side
This is moot due to the above comment and anyways, 2 out of 3 Wikis specifically says he calls his friends, which is false since he only calls 1 but oh well

- Something like that is not far out for digimon, we've seen Digimon create holes in reality to appear at any place and any time, we see it in tri, we see it in savers, frontier, adventure, even xros wars. The idea of Fanbee's not existing in tokyo is a moot point if this fight is in tokyo, as that would mean Fanbee exists there.
A Digimon having an ability doesn't somehow mean another Digimon has an ability such as that or one that's a psuedo of it. This fight isn't in Tokyo, it's in Central Park, New York and as of March 2, 2020, there has been no sighting of a real life Fanbeemon in Tokyo, Japan, much less Earth itself
- forcefields would most likely get taken out due to AP difference, summons will get hoarded out, and the bullets/explosions wont hit due to outspeeding them and small size
The difference is 1.5 and the Collector's scaling chain is being easily above Rankers who could easily defeat the Blood Shura who is arguably equal to Xiao Si Ta Ya who performed the 5.9 Ton feat
The Collector's (Over 1 Billion Mark) > Rankers (Over Millions Mark) > (Blood Shura)  Xiao Si Ta Ya
That's even implying that Fanbeemon with a 50 cm - 1 m Range by himself with a few meters with projectiles could hit the Collector and co. His few meters with projectiles probably ain't hitting them since the Collector can just play the long-range game with her tens of meters range so while he's out there deploying his projectiles which is hitting no one due to his paltry range, the Collector can just turn him into a bubble if any of her shit hits from afar
That's not even taking Cerberus with his Energy Beam into consideration in which it seems to be bigger than a ship -

Fanbeemon is getting outranged badly while not being able to hit his enemies and even if he decides to go close-range, he'll have to get close while also being cautious (which he won't know about) towards the Transmutation and also the others and their abilities
- the few metre's range doesnt matter if he can summon a good dozen or so more of himself, all depends on what we define his summoning amount as. And even then he can just summon more, digimon are rarely limited on how they use their ability
I already pointed the Range and Summonings above
