Makes me wonder is there's gonna be a Masterpiece Bumblebee.

He's got battery that can eventually leak, sooner than you think. And ruin the whole toy.

Never ever had such a problem, even with 20 year old toys with batteries that never got removed.

That, my friend, was exactly the goal of that toy since day one. If you wanted something else, it's entirely your problem.

Dam good batteries you got there. Top quality!

Practically all batteries i've encountered leaks! Dam! Need not be 20 years. Less than a year will do for some.

What does Ultimate BB do? Why empty your wallet of course.

They should have made this guy an Alternator. He would be extremely popular, and would have brought life back into that line. But that's all water under the old bridge now.

I got mine today, I think it's an awesome figure. I'm surprised that people complain about the "inaccurate" chest. It's only inaccurate on the packaging, where it's mistransformed, as usual. It can be broken down into several pieces just like the DLX version, it's just not in the instructions. I doubt a young kid would be able to perform the transformation alone correctly though, as some steps require a lot of force and others more delicate maneuvers (like how to attach the arms). All gimmicks work perfectly fine on my BB.

The chest of Ult BB looks disproportionately wide and large. Can this be broken down and compressed to his sleek lean chest of Movie version?

Also, the calf area behind his legs. From pictures, looks like the whole roof-rearwindow piece hanging unsightly from each leg. Is this just inaccurate or incomplete transformation?

The Movie BB has the doors and rear windows formed into a butterfly wing shape on his back. While the roof rides on his arms with a circular thing in a slotted hole.

The circular thing is probably impossible to do in a toy, without ruining the car roof.

But at least, if these door-window-roof things are in the correct positions, the Ult BB will be an awesome toy.

im getting mine in the mail on thursday.this question wasnt adressed in this topic i dont think but hows the posability.ive herd good and bad things on the posability.

Any pictures of the back?

And the rear of the legs?

Isn't the chest a bit low?

Yes, it sits a bit low because of the chest button I guess. It's not that bad though.

Where is the chest button? What does it do?

It's his autobot symbol. In robot mode it just makes him talk and move. In car mode it activates his lights and sounds, like motor running and brakes and taillights when you roll him and then stop.

You press on the Autobot symbol on the chest to activate sounds, lights and motion (the Autobot symbol button actually pushes another button located behind the chest - this button ends up under the car in alternate mode).

Move? What kind of movement? Which part of his body moves?

He raises and lowers his arms, turns his head, and his car doors flutter.

That's cute!

it's the autobot symbol... literally...

The hood looks more like a tummy than a chest.

Is it possible to pull it up a bit?

Nope, it's stuck at that height

It makes a glorified paperweight.

Thats how I feel in a nut shell.

If it's after Christmas and 50 percent off then it's mine.

If not, no loss really cause I think its kind of stupid imho.

Oh, well.
