What a piece of cr@p!

I love your video tributes, Dinobot had such great honor and died defending it to the last!! what a great show BW was.. especially the G-1 tie ins and the covenant of Primus.. anyone know where to find the actual covenant of Primus logs.. come on don't look at me that way.. they have an online dictionary for Klingon... its not that unreal to think there's a TF bible out there on the web!!! i just want to read it.. for fun.. not to join a freaking cult.. if I wanted that I'd have registered Democrat or Republican, insted of Independent..

For 90 bucks and with all the hype I figured we might get something like a simplified Robosapien, or, at the very least something as interactive as a Furby. Instead we get something with LEDs and pre-recorded sounds whose shoulder and 'wing' joints wiggle slightly when a song is played. And the voice... WTF? Did they just grab anyone at the office to do it? I wonder how much of the $90 price tag is actually going towards licensing the song 'Whip It'.

QFT!!!

He's cool, but not worth $90. I'll get him when his price drops.

Doesn't seem too bad to me. I kinda like simple transformations.

hahahahahahahahah he couldnt get it to work hahahahahahahahahahaha.
that was funny. Its not worth $90. I thought hey said "this is the ultimate Transformer to be made" ive seen way better. If it were around $30-$50 then maybe but $90? Should've let tarkara make it first. Oh well ill get it when it goes on clearance and not put batteries in. And why was he talking? He's mute in the film. And that voice actor (and i use that term losely) sucked ass. Not a must have. The only reason to get it is because it'll go up in price as the yeas go on. It'll be one of those rare TF figures in about 15-20 years.

OMG, that transformation video gave me a headache...and there's no reason this big-azz Bee is missing his battle-visor. Yeah, I think he's the "giant Cheetor" of the movie toy line.

Oh, this is so gonna be 20-30 @ walmart on clearnace.

Nice figure imo for that price.

It's just really, really hard to make a gigantic transformer that transforms *and* does extra "flashy stuff" that customers expeect from that price range.

Gee...I dunno...guys like...G1 Trypticon come to mind.

I think that large TFs have gone down hill since G1. The gestalts have gotten worse (energon gestalts with two clones of the same toy for parts just takes the fun out of the group), leader Cheetor in the era of BM vs. Fort Max in G1... amazing how downhill you can go...

I mean... heck...compare even G1 Jetfire, who, in his time was certainly one of the "bigger" toys to...oh...Cybertron Leader Starscream...

There has been a huge improvement in the basics and deluxes, and the ultras and megas are great too...

But the really big TFs of the post-G1 world just don't seem to hold a candle to G1...

And that's really wierd, come to think of it.

Skids

At first I thought it was not the bot I thought it would be. But when the guy was finally finished transforming Bumblebee I kinda thought that have to have the Big Bee

I call for Masterpiece Bumblebee!

Get the guy that designed MP Optimus and the other guy that designed MP Starscream, stick them in a room for six months with hot pockets and Arizona Green Tea and don't let them come out until they make something worth buying.

The only thing going through my mind while watching this video was "you're gonna break it you git, don't break it!, OMG!"

It's sad to admit that the Deluxe 2007 Camero Bumblebee figure looks a lot better than this and it is only for $10.

I dunno, for me, Classics Bumblebee does the Trick.

I'm a little underwhelmed. There aren't any figures like it that's for sure, but I can't help feeling a little unimpressed. Maybe I was expecting Asimo or something lol.

No, you're right. I understand why they did it (so they don't break off, and the figure retains all of it's parts in one piece), but really, they could've done better and I see no reason why they *HAD* to put his doors on strings. That's just damned stupid.

I doubt a lot of Wal-Marts will clearance this guy below $50.00 (none of the ones near me will, that's a guarantee.)

TRU...not a chance in Hell of a clearance.

Actually it'd be Dragon and Pheonix Rolls (Sushi) and Green tea..


But yeah, i would totally buy a Masterpiece BB especially if they included Battlemode head, better articulation, a correct chest, and proportions to the movie, and better arms and realistic paint apps for the under parts!!! that is what I expect from a toy that costs 90.00, and is made to look like it came from the movie!! a motion sensor that causes movie so0unds to pop up doesn't really scream interactive to me..

to be very poseable, have great articulation, a ball jointed head, you can run a wire through the middle of a ball joint to the head for light up, there should have been a switch that brings the face sheild down from the helmet, and a battle sound attached to that, the arm like I said should have a magnet or plug in so that his arm canon could light up when attached to his arm, with a sensor built in for sounds of missle fire to coincide with its attachment.

Forget the raising arm functions or the back moving or wiggling.. give the automorph function a little help, and put the movable parts to better use like a 30% transformation from car to bot mode, with an off switch if we wanted to do it ourselves or if the batteries died, then we finish the rest.. now that would be cool..

But no we get the crappy transformer version of a Star Wars Bank..but the cost is like 2 times more expensive, and no where is there a place to store any money....Its like bad debt all over that thing..I will boycott it all the way..

I think he looks OK. The moving wings (and most of the other electronic gimmicks) are just lame, and the doors on string, well it's unique. I also think the guy managed to mistransform the front, that didnt look right.

I actully dont mind the face, the face looks good.

The thing was falapping about as he moved it, surely hasbro managed to devise a way to stop that. I still think it looks mistransformed. Look at how he transformed the legs, he obviously wasnt 100% sure how it transformed.

I agree, but still, its the basic toy itself, its just a bad design, IMO..

What the hell? I thought it was supposed to transform by itself?

no, it just makes noise, wiggles and raises his arm upp and has flashy lights, like the Star Wars Piggy banks...
