Looks to me like it's the Bumblebee keychain reissue with the keychain removed. You can tell because of the plastic ring on the rear bumper of the car.

What's so ultimate about it? It just looks like the keychain version... is it really big or something? I guess I don't see what the deal is.

It's called advertising. All businesses do it so gullible people buy their products.

They are actualy guilty of key word spamming. eBay has a policy about this.

They chose the word 'ultimate' to get more hits on searches, even though it is not the real ultimate Bumblebee. ebay sends warnings to people when they list used items with "like new" in the keyword title because the used item would also appear in searches for 'new' items.

Must agree with you on that one.

Although it looks like it may even be a KO of the Keychain Bumblebee...

And is against ebay policies... this should be reported so people who don't have the advantage of a site like this one doesn't get ripped off.

This is true. If you report "keyword spamming"(that auction is a prime example) Ebay will make them take the auction down. Someone should report them.
