Thanks.

Agreed, from the little I've seen of him so far his Alt mode isn't that hot. Could we see a few pics of yours as the Camaro?

yes indeed, and i hope no one thought i was i being insulting when i said most wont get him b/c they cant afford him so they try to justify in a negative way not to get him. i mean, we all do that everyday in one form or another. anyways, sorry for any hurt feelins. and here's a pic

I don't dig the windows but other than that it's a cool looking Camaro.

There is no way in hell i would waste my hard earned cash on that piece o crap. The alt mode looks ok but for $80 u should gat an interior or maybe even a little sam fig to go too. And the robo mode looks like ass. My friend has him and i checked it out, it maybe big but the sounds are rily annoying. The launcher looks crappy and fake and it's incredibly out of scale. Save ur cash and get the 08 it's MUCH BETTER! Although the head isn't too bad but im not gonna pay $80 for a nice lookin robo head i can but the one that lights up at target for 10. Thats my 2 cents.

I don't like the windows or the wheels, but I suppose with all the electronics in there it's the only way to pull it off. Thanks for posting the pics!

I'm reminded of a certain saying about opinions...

Well, I have Ultimate Bumbleee and he's just about the coolest Transformer toy I've ever seen.

fellow members, the fig is great, (in my opinion). which is exactly what it is. everyone has one. personally i felt a little ripped off by masterpiece SS. he is friggin all plastic. and he was 120 bucks. itz just a matter of taste. obviously all of the opinions i heard so far have been all over the sectrum. most of the negatives seem to come from those who havent actually purchased the fig. which doesnt hold water if you are giving your thoughts on him. whatever category he falls under, he is still a very nice fig that entertains. he responds to sounds, motion, vibration, not to mention the buttons to press. the first time i saw deluxe swindle, i said to myself, man he sux, wont get him, but alas i did, and he is pretty nice, same goes for alot of TFs, just give it a try b4 you jump to conclusions and pass on a great TF. a 13 inch in length sportscar. and a friggin huge robot. and the only way to get a movie accurate anything TF is to have a CG rendering right in front of your face. movie accurate, heh, just use your imaginations ppl. TFs are nothing w/o it. at first i saw the movie designs for the figs and i HATED them. now i LOVE them b/c of the complexities of the figs. get over yourselves. if you dont like him, bashing him and persuading others not to buy him is just plain wrong b/c that person may actually love the toy. its funny how all or most of the ppl here that have purchased him seem to be very happy w/ it. give the Bee a chance.

See the 2 posts before this one.

fine by all means buy it I however will be looken for deluxe 08 bumble

I think the alt mode is really poor, and in robot mode the gun hand looks real bad, the little orange missle too - just a right hand would have been sufficient

But I do like the bot mode overall, even if he looks fat - and WTF it plays Devo?! lol

I decided to pre order G1 MP Starscream over this, Ult BB just isn't quite nice enough for $90USD(plus the shipping I'd have to pay) if he was $70USD then I'd be tempted for sure(I'd almost certainly cave).

Although, who ever said it earlier was right, this is the sort of TF that you pass on and then regret it ten years down the line when mint one's are selling on ebay for a grand

The battery driven gun hand (with the orange missile) actually raises on its own to aim, then the gun barrel revolves, and...missle out. Well, the sequence comes with light & sound effects too. Just a right hand...is not gonna do it.

I'm still on the fence regarding Ult. BB. He looks good, but the $90 price tag is a bit much.

Good post ZedzDead. After reading the posts of those who have him I've decided to get him. And after reading your comment on Swindle I'm gonna get him too... if I can find this ex-pegwarmer for his usual $9.99!

dude i thought ultimate bumblebee is slate for releasing on september, and this month in japan. how do guys manage to get him so early in target store in north america?

too bad deluxe BBee is more accurate than him.

ZedzDead,

I forgot to ask you: the voice of Ultimate Bumblebee... is that the same voice actor as in the movie? I can't really tell over internet videos due to hollowness of sound.

Also, does he actually play full songs or only clips of the songs?

Got mine 2 weeks ago and I must say I am very very much satisfied w/ my purchase.
