Ive seen the video on youtube but its very short. Does it transform itself? Can you pose it? Are there any remote control functions? Sorry if this has been said and Im just blind..

What i'm sure of is, it will rob $80 off your wallet. Without you even noticing it!

Could have sworn it was listed as a feature on its packaging... :-?

Well, It really just has electronic movement in it's arms and fires a pretty good sound on his gun. Pretty good if you like electrical things... but really not my type of toy... still might get it though :lol:

He looks hefty, fat. Not the althetic movie BB.

i just saw one a while ago he's pretty huge and in alt mode it's even bigger like those super duper acurate ferrari die cast cars... although he still looks fat in bot mode i'll never buy it unless it hits clearance...

I just saw him the other day... $80 is outrageous for such a poor poor sad excuse of a toy. Its all 100% gimmick with this one. I'd be interested if it AT LEAST automatically transformed, but honestly the detail on this figure is way too poor...for $80 he better look IDENTICAL to the movie Bumblebee in robot mode, and have a fully detailed interior in vehicle mode!

I plan on getting the 2-pack of bumblebee deluxes when it comes out at target, I however do NOT plan on purchasing this sad excuse for the toy. I'd much rather have a $60 supreme blackout figure than an $80 so-called "Ultimate" bumblebee figure!

Or a $60 Masterpiece Starscream in a few months, that's fer sure.

Shouldn't have those lights and sounds and gimmicks taking up so much space, making BB bloat.

If Hasbro just concentrated on getting the details right, develop a nice interior, and add more moving parts (such as the helmet sliding down his face, the movable ears, individual fingers, torso comprising many smaller parts instead of one solid piece) and articulation, i'd probably buy it at $100.

Yeah I'll definitly be picking up masterpiece starscream. Might pick up Masterpiece Megatron to complete the collection. I got 20th anniversary prime, and I"m thinking of getting another one since mine's getting kind of worn out. He doesn't stand as easily anymore, and his helmet button no longer works

What does Ultimate Bumbles do? He eats up your money, and watches as the Hasbro executives laugh all the way to the bank!

I still find it so sad that and $80+ "Ultimate" Bi=umblebee is even less movie accurate then a $10 (MSRP, I know they are selling for a lot more online) Deluxe Bumblebee. Seriously, WTF is up with that!?

I had NO plans on getting Ultimate BB, but when I saw him on the shelf last night at WM, I went ahead and spent the 80 bucks, and I'm glad I did.

First of all, he's HUMONGOUS. I just love me some huge TF's. But his transformation is really fun (I'm glad he doesn't do it automatically).

The gimmicks get old fast, but who cares? Hit the OFF button.

I've spent a lot MORE on toys I've enjoyed less. Hell, I'm contemplating spending eighty plus shipping just on scorponok's HEAD!

He's a great toy.

Exactly!!!

Well, if you know what button to push, he'll cook breakfast for you! :))

What does this Bumblebee do? He zaps your bank account.
I'll pass.

by **Bigdaddymcqueen** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 4:50 pm

i herd he plays devo's "whip it" song and a few others!! could be wrong though. still not worth $80 though, imo! :grin:

I'm not sure what he does, cuz he jibber jabbers for a minute or two, then shuts off or something. Doesn't seem like his advertised "motion detection" works very well. He's been sitting here staring my direction for awhile now and he refuses to do anything for more then a minute, and only when I press his button.

Also, his "missle" leaves a lot to be desired. It often doesn't fire. Arm has to be in the perfect spot for it to work, and then it doesn't like to reload unless you twist the arm to another angle or rotate the canon itself. It's kinda screwy and ineffective. Wish I could ditch that canon for a regular arm.

He does have a pretty cool transformation though. I know some don't like that his doors come off, but that's just for the gimmicks. Pretty sure they'd have done it different without those, because the rest of him is pretty neat. Everything has a place and tucks in and folds out. Especially like his rear wheels tucking into the back of his legs, nice touch.

I heard of a new feature of Ultimate BB.

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

He does your groceries, does the cooking, cleans your home..... etc..

AAAACK! *I woke up realizing that this isn't true*

by **Galvatron628** » Sun Aug 12, 2007 2:57 am

deluxe '09 concept bb FTW!

by **bumblebeeman** » Sun Aug 12, 2007 1:44 pm

I admit, i'm a w*ore when it comes to bumblebee, ever since G1. The only thing I haven't bought is the movie legends version. Despite the price, I will most likely buy ultimate bumblebee.
