Robot replicas are messed up
ok I went to walmart.com to see if they had mp starscream listed yet and I ran across robot replica baracade. I have to ask what were they thinking when they created him and what is that in his hand it looks like he picked up the fan off weather vane the kind you find on a farm.

You are talking about this:

Yep, pretty messed up.

Wow there is a bumblebee I only found baracade listed. I would love to meet the person or persons who thought this was a good idea if baracade is an indcation these might just be on par with action masters for s---ist line.

The hand thing is the weapon he used against bumblebee.
i had high hopes for these things, but some of their bodies look weird.
bumlbebee looks good though

I picked up Frenzy -- I thought looked pretty good, much better than the FAB version. I was considering the Bumblebee as well, but I already have the unleashed statue, so my quota for non-transforming toys has been filled.

I was considering the Bumblebee, on one of those otherwise fruitless transformer hunting trips, but ultimately I couldn't let myself. The paint job and the sculpt just weren't cutting it.
I really don't like them. Non-transforming TFs are a big no for me.

These things look cheap and nasty, and the fact that they don't transform is a huge letdown.
That and Hasbro want to charge me more for these abominations that for a Deluxe figure.... uh-huh ain't gonna happen.

Well I really cannot agree with this statement. Statues have a place of their own and are largely the most anime accurate representations you will find.
However, these are not statues. These are junk.

I haven't handled one, but the concept here seems something like the non-transforming Japanese revoltech figures.
Maybe that sort of thing has its place, but they ought to at the very least look better than the transforming toy version before they can be considered in any way worthwhile.

Yeah, screw those things. Who the hell wants a Transformer that don't TRANSFORM. Terrible waste of plastic. Imagine how many Skywarp movie voyager re-paints they could have made with all of that plastic.
