From the Manufacturer

Sent to Earth by OPTIMUS PRIME ahead of the other AUTOBOTS, this tough robot’s job is to do what he does best: gather information, find the keeper of the secrets of the AllSpark and remain hidden. BUMBLEBEE works best in silence and solitude, acting as an unseen guardian over his assigned target. Don’t let the fact that he likes to remain hidden fool you though – when it comes to a fight, he rushes in, both plasma cannons blazing! Convert this AUTOBOT figure from menacing robot mode to Classic Camaro mode and back again! It features double missile-launching blasters in robot mode! This is one awesome figure for your collection!

This review is from: Transformers Movie Deluxe Bumblebee 1974 Camaro (Toy)

Having purchased this early, I must say I want to like this figure. Considering that because of VW's stubbornness this could not be a Bug but instead a Camaro, it's not bad, although I would have appreciated some typical Bumblebee horns.

In robot mode, it has some stability problems, but I've seen worse. In car mode, it nice. [...] But even afterwards, I still haven't been able to totally transform it back to car as the front of the Camaro won't stay put; it keeps flopping down. Just the initial transformation was worrisome; I kept thinking I am about to break the toy, and now when I want to turn it back to car, it won't go back in position.

If you like Bumblebee, you'll probably want him, but he's more for a collector to have on his shelf than for a kid to actually play with.

2.0 out of 5 stars Warning: Your may have a Factory Defect, June 1, 2007

This review is from: Transformers Movie Deluxe Bumblebee 1974 Camaro (Toy)

I have been browsing round the internet and have spotted many websites where people are warning others about a factory defect that will break this toy. The Automorph feature of this toy has a tab that is the wrong thickness and will break off, preventing Bumblebee from transforming back. Hasbro has been producing a second version of Bumblebee, with the tab corrected but nobody is certain when it will be in stores.

Wanted to make sure people knew about this before they get mad or have to deal with a disappointed child.

1.0 out of 5 stars trust those who say bumblebee is broken.., July 13, 2007

Like the many who reported having bumblebee's front part of the camaro refusing to stay put, I have the exact same problem. The latch to keep the stupid spring loaded front hood is of the wrong side which basically makes this version of bumblebee unable to transform to a car. You're basically stuck with the robot.

Barricade is extremely hard to transform back to a car but I was eventually able to do it. I can't believe it took me that long too. I bought my kid maybe 5 other transformer toys and this is the first time I have been disappointed. Stay away from the Bumblebee/barricade combo toy. You'll only regret it later...I definitely am.
