Courtesy of site sponsor Kapow Toys we have another exclusive Transformers Prime Cyberverse gallery to share, Legion Class Bumblebee. Take a look at our pint sized hero below!

Does HasTak have some fetish for excluding elbow joints for Legends/Cyberverse Bumblebees? I'm aware that elbows are t3h n3w h0tn3ss for tiny Transformers, but Cliffjumper got them in his initial outing, and he's dead!

I don't know what it is about these tiny little figures, but I have always loved this size class. I'm definitely going to have to pick up Bumblebee and Cliffjumper.

I never understood the purpose of "legends class" or why they are marketed as serious toys instead of happy meak give-aways. I admit to owning some of them, but only because they are obsucre characters. Scout class should be the smallest size.

The holes in the car-grill are pretty bizarre, kinda give the impression of a ribcage. Wonder if there's a way to fit a sort of Spark in there, whether it's an LED, a chunk of (translucent) blue plastic, or even just paint.

I take it you've never owned a citybot or a Micromaster base....

Well, they're cheap, and fun to mess around with.

Anything with the word "Master" at the end of it was part of late 80's gimmick lines. The simple mini bots transformations were consistant with the larger block figures from that era. And they were almost always packaged as an accessory to a bigger toy or at least sold in a four pack.

Legends/Legions on the other hand are just a cheap attempt to score 5 bucks from parents who dont wanna pay for a expensive figure every shopping trip.

I see; you're one of those people that never learned how to play.

I bet your Unicron gets really bored with nothing tiny to stomp....

Oh I did plenty of that back in 1985. But now I like to display them. Maybe if I had some legends size dinobots to go up against Unicron, (not PCC drones) that would be cool.
