I like the look of it.

Reminds me of a 4-wheeled light cycle (Tron).

Not a huge fan of the bot mode, but the car mode looks neat enough.

I really like the alt-mode, but the proportions of the bot mode are still sort of weird.

Chubbyformer, but I'll take it.

I like the figure, forearm kibble and all.

Even though it still reminds me of Dr. Robotnik, I will still wind up getting it for the alt mode.

Even though he has a chest like Animated Ratchet, I'm still getting him. Makes a good pre-Earth Bumblebee, I might say :lol:

He has NO WAIST! :sad:

But I SUPPOSE the cgi model looks this way, so it's probably faithful to that...

The car mode looks good! I'd go with the "four wheeled light cycle from Tron" description as well...

As an aside... why is all the fun new TF stuff taking so long to hit stores? I know theres a schedule to everything they release, but it seems like an ETERNITY since there was something new and interesting on the shelves... Second half of this year IS TOO FAR AWAY!!! The last interesting toy I picked up recently was ROTF (nest) Bludgeon!

Can't wait for these WFC toys to start making retail... Starting to get bored here! And if an adult collector is getting bored, what about the kids?

Is that a gun on his left hand?

Looks like it! And he has hands! Not fists!

Funny how it makes a change to see a weapon come with a Transformers toys...

Technically, July 1st is the start of the second half of 2010. So, maybe we just have to wait another 31 days?

WAIT!!! This is not game accurate. Where are his cute, pinchable, rosey cheeks. Not buying it till this is sorted. Hmmph.

:lol:

Pretty good looking figure. I think he looks better posed like this rather than all lengthy with the turtle shell. I'm interested in seeing where his weapon storage is.

Looks like he has the same head mold from the classics version

I didn't think I would like this figure, but I'm digging it. Bought on sight (after Botcon, anyway). I'm really getting a New Beetle vibe from the alt mode. It's a Cybertronian VW! Love it!

It's hard to not like the figure because of his potbellied proportions. He was a potbellied little fella in G1. The only iterations of BB that aren't chunky are his Animated and Movie-verse iterations. I really like this mold a lot, and I'm FAR from a Bumblebee fan.

Yep, I that was my thought when we first saw him too.

Lookin' good, though indeed a little potbellied, and he kinda looks like he's got Lockdown hands. I might keep him in vehicle mode a lot of the time anyway, it just looks really cool.
