5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Ultimate Bumblebee, August 17, 2009

This review is from: Transformers Human Alliance - Bumblebee with Sam (Toy)

Bumblebee is arguably the most popular Transformer behind Optimus Prime. Even Megatron (at least these days) doesn't hold a candle. We've seen many different versions of this Autobot so how does this one stand up? **Note: This is NOT the deluxe version of Bumble that sells for less than ten bucks. This is the Human Alliance Bumblebee - an altogether bigger and higher quality toy. **

For Kids:
In either robot or vehicle mode this is a quality toy with lots of detail and fun to play with. The inclusion of the Sam Witwicky action figure is a bonus for kids as well. I'm far from a kid (on the outside) these days but I remember loving the G1 transformers and the little action figure you could put inside - pretending you're that little guy with a big robot pal. The human factor is often forgotten these days. The main downside for kids is that the transformation is hard and like many of these movie transformers there are probably many kids who wouldn't have the patience for it.

For Adults:
Again, this is a bigger more detailed version. The car is top notch and while the interior could have more detail that it has an interior at all is a bonus considering that's a first for this line. This human alliance Bumblebee is almost twice the size of the deluxe version and a lot of that additional detail shows in the clear windows and seats, steering wheel and interior of the car.

In robot mode, words may not be able to describe it (I'll try to have some pics up). There is so much detail in this guy that I'd compare to the new Leader Class Optimus Prime as far as screen accuracy. Let's just say that this is the best representation of movie Bumblebee I've ever seen and I own the huge Ultimate Bumblebee... He's got the most accurate head sculpt and includes the battle mask that no other version I own does! Despite initial misgivings I found that the seats were well hidden in robot mode (they're out there but placed in such a way as to be unobtrusive). The back bumpers become the knee caps and another first (aside from the battle mask) the chest actually has two rotating sections to make the "tilted" look of his "pecks". Even that his right hand is a blaster does not make a big difference as it is so well done (and believe me, I've been upset by that blaster hand in many versions - why not a rotatable hand / weapon?) and looks so good.

His articulation is off the charts too. Tranformers have good articulation and this guy has great! I can't think of a pose I can't get him into (31 points at least). Flip his battle mask up or down, place his missiles where you want, he looks good.

For adult collectors the additional 2.5" Sam figure is not such a great deal. Sure he's there and sure he's pretty well areticulted but you have a giant robot to deal with. It should be said though that the robot has several options to carry the human - in his hand, on his shoulder or in his seat. That may be fun for you or the kids.

Maybe 30 plus dollars seems like a lot but maybe not once you get your hands on him. Transform and roll out with this Bumblebee. He's great and puts past versions to shame. His transformation is challenging but rewarding.

I have bought several transformers for my Grandson over the last few years. This by far was the best made of them all. It also was the biggest hit at his birthday party. You should have a big run on these after all those little boys got a chance to play with it.

I was skeptical after the Deluxe Bumblebee version but in my opinion this is the best one ever. Robot mode is perfect. Good proportions with no awkward stuff hanging out anywhere. Great detail throughout with little gears and hydraulic details molded in. I have over a dozen transformers including many Alternators and this has to be my favorite. Way better than the deluxe version and even better than the Ultimate Bumblebee. Just a really well done robot mode with tons of pose-ability, I can't say enough. Transformation is fun and with lots of intricacies but not too difficult. Everything snaps together well. Car mode is very cool with nice details like clear windows on the exterior and a steering wheel and dashboard in the interior. The only gripes might be that the seats on his arms for Sam are kind of corny, but I just flip them to the bottom and out of the way. The only thing Hasbro can do to outdo this is to make a Leader class Bumblebee, but maybe it's better not to mess with perfection. Grab it!
