I forgot my complaints.

1.) Arm seats should have a fold/joint at the base of the seat.

2.) NO right hand for bbee.

3.) Ball joint head just comes off way to easily. And the mask does not work.

Well i agree the seats should of had a fold joint however the head on mine does not come off at all, I have even given it a good yank or two it is a tight as could be. As for the mask- the one I got works great. I do wish however, that the wheels on his feet could have folded into the ankle as they do in the movie. Other than that, I think this mold will go done as one of the greats. Will there only be the release of three Human Alliances?

Ok...picked up my HABB the other day and was very impressed with the overall stability and construction of this figure...I immediately did the leg mod which put his wheels on the outside of the legs, and that made a world of difference...also...I really REALLY hated the whole seat attached to the arm thing, so I removed those completely and replaced them with the roof panels from an '07 Deluxe BB...they're the exact same color and they fill the holes nicely...they just pop right in...I dremeled out the spaces between the fingers on his single hand to give the hand more depth, and then I totally junked him up with a wash of dirt and scratches using acrylics. Don't even ask how the arm panels affect his transformation since this particular figure will never Transform again...I intended on purchasing another one for the Camaro display, but I'm sure I'm not the only person to notice that in vehicle mode the TF's are all shiny and new, but in 'bot mode they look like they've been wrestling in a scrap yard. He is essentially a display piece and is easily my most favorite figure from this line.

If you're on the fence about picking him up, by all means, bite the bullet and afford it...he's totally worth it.

But, I also want to get some Animated figures now that I've watched the show.

I've said it before but I'll say it again. HABB is the best. Buy it.

HA Leo + Mudflap?
HA Reggie + Ratchet?
HA Lennox + Ironhide?
HA Alice + Sideways?

contemplate these.

Welcome to the boards RMKAR9

HA Leo + Mudflap?
Maybe
HA Reggie + Ratchet?
Maybe
HA Lennox + Ironhide?
Hopefully
HA Alice + Sideways?
No

The more I look at this figure... It's so out of scale yet it's a freaking masterpiece.

News Credits: 5 · Sat Jul 11, 2009 7:59 am

It is a Maasterpiece! I just got done reading this entire thread.. and I conclude..

I just bought it on eBay!!

Totally worth it!!

Buy it while you can!!

Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:44 pm

HA BB, Swipe, & Skids = :grin:

HA Arcee = :SICK:

Hopefully, if and when they do Mudflap, they'll use the extra plastic on a second fleshie (i.e. he'll come with Simmons AND Leo)

If/When I get these, they'll prolly go on my Alt/MP shelf(and Arcee will go in either the trash, or a yard sale for a quarter. Yuck... Xp).

Okay, so the HA Bumblebee next to prime isn't half bad, but when you look at them next to the Deluxes?? It just screams that they need a HA version as well..

leave the deluxes for the fans who want scale accuracy..

but for those of us interested in movie accuracy..however closer it gets to the actual CGI..

then they should continue to do the HA line..

but that BB just makes the other deluxes next to him look like Shite!!

So, I've been getting Animated figures.
Friday, I bought Jazz and Snarl. Yesterday, Samurai Prowl.
About 35 bucks.
And who is there when I pop into Walmart looking for more?
HA Bumblebee. I had no money.

I got one of these today at K-mart and he is pretty sweet.
Pricey...
But awesome.

I did the leg/hip mod on him and it makes him a lot more
movie/cgi accurate, but does make is transformation sunstancially
more fiddly. Also he looks a lot better beside the IJATCS "Mutt"
figure in robot mode.

Fri Aug 28, 2009 8:37 pm

im wondering if its worth the 30$ price
i know it looks really sweet, but i wanna know if i should really get it

let me know

News Credits: 1 · Fri Aug 28, 2009 8:51 pm

you should, it's one of the best molds of BB, and you get Sam.

News Credits: 2 · Fri Aug 28, 2009 8:57 pm

Let me put it this way: I'm not a huge fan of the movie style BB. I'm neutral towards him at best. Yet even I plan on getting HA BB. I've been looking through the gallery for HA BB and going through reviews and it just seems to be a great Transformer.

If there's one version of movie Bumblebee you have to get, it's HA. While not exactly in scale with most other movie TF's (except the motorbike sisters), this guy looks awesome no matter how you pose him. Plus, the Sam figure standing next to him really gives the optical impression of a giant robot.

Forget Alternity BB; HA is the one to get.

I disagree with the increased accuracy claims. It puts the wheel on the other side of the leg, but the wheel should actually be inside the ankle. Sculpted details on the outside of the leg are moved to the inside where they shouldn't be. So I say you've reduced accuracy! Look for some side view pics of BB, you'll see what I mean.
