The automorph works great on both the chest and legs, but what I was most suprized about is that the car pannels break up during transformation in a manner very similar to what I've seen in the trailer.
08 BB is gonna be a great edition to my collection, but 74 BB is nothing to scoff at himself.
Granted, '70s Bumblebee isn't as awful as people seem to think, but he does have his share of flaws. His springloaded nose releases when you don't want it to, doesn't always release when you DO want it to, and is hard to get back into the locked position (which isn't helped by the defect found on some Bumblebees missing a tab/featuring a broken tab, or something).
Turning the robot back into the car is no parade. You must follow the instructions to a T or end up getting stuck. When (or if) you do manage to get him back in car mode, the seams are hideous, plus the nose often releases.
Robot mode isn't particularly interesting, plus the awkward-looking legs/feet aren't very well articulated (and the car roof parts on the back of the legs block the knees from moving too much).
Combine that with lame weapons, lack of transparent plastic, overall cheap-feeling plastic and the godawful movie design, and it's easy to see why some fans really aren't happy.
However, this new Camaro figure looks exponentially better than the 70s one.

I like the huge cannon he's holding. I'm just md Megatron doesn't have a giant gun actually on his right arm........

this one looks beutiful very detailed but i like the head on the o7 figure more seems a little more colorful and stands out more its amazing it may be plastic but when its in car mode it looks like he has a metal look to him in the 08 version this one is going to be a pain to find in stores if hes anything like megatron to find.

Re: Deluxe 2008 Bumblebee - Out of Package Images
I got a question about his, which one is the one that features in the movie, the 1970 or the 2008??Stormrider wrote:Seibertron.com member, Heat Guy, has received the Transformers Movie Deluxe Camaro 2008 Bumblebee and has provided us with some out of package shots.
Are you having difficulties keeping track of all the different Bumblebees?
There are two deluxe versions of Bumble – a 1970’s Camaro and a 2008 Camaro. The 1970’s version is part of the first wave and is already in stores. The 2008 version is part of a later wave and may be out soon. Keep your eyes open for him in the stores.

Yeah it's true, I just read it on the wikipedia does he get upgraded in the movie, or does he get upgraded as a toy only??

Movie and toy. He trans-scans both versions of the vehicle. However, when we meet him at first, he's already in the '74 Camaro body, so we don't see him trans-scan it.

I think he will be upgraded by the wish of the role that Shia Laboeuf plays, I like to see the scenes how he begs that Bumblebee should scan the Camaro 2008 Version.
