Bumblebee, one of the few Transformers I like is in my possession! The Robotic BFF of Spike Witwicky! and of Shia LaBeouf in the Awful Bayformers movies.
Let's get on with the toy itself: As you can see, He is not a VW Beetle like his G1 version. Blame VW for this: Apparently VW didn't want the likeness of their vehicles to be associated with War. Like Transformers is as evil as being Hitler's car... Being a robot that fights for The right of all sentient beings is bad apparently.
I'm not pretty sure, but this toy may be a repaint of a previous Bumblebee... At least it seems to be a pre Bayformers Bumblebee. He doesn't seem hyper-hyperdetailed like a bunch of scrap heap put together to somewhat resemble a robot.
Now for the Review part: (1= crap, 5 = cool)
Articulation:
He's pretty Articulated, due to the parts shifting for transformation. (Some of the PoA may be unintentional because of this, but he can pose...
4.5
Paint and Sculpt:
There's not much paint here. Most of the parts are molded in the intended color (to decrease paint rub/chipping while transforming. I have to say that the driver's seat has a chip that shows the black plastic underneath.
Sculptwise, he's pretty good. Made to resemble the G1 Bumblebee as much as possible (without him being a VW...)
4.5
Accessories:
He has the jet Ski that gives him wings.
3.0
Overall: 4.0 He's a great figure but felt like it was lacking something... Can't put my finger on it... Also I hate the Movie stripes!!
