Yes, hasbro is being misleading with that description, 100%.
I'm a parent too, but I'm not shocked at all since we just got this same type of stuff in Cyberverse and the Bumblebee movie line before it, and the RID line before that one, all at the same price, do you remember those?
No, my son is only just getting old enough for it to matter, so I hadn't paid attention to that bracket before. Still, most of those older toys look way better than this most recent offering. Maybe not super-poseable or intricate but they *look* good. Slick. Polished. Given kiddo's main love is Hot Wheels, that would be enough.
"Beast Mode Bumblebee" doesn't manage to look good in any mode, though. If he had a legit third mode it would be understandable, but the beast mode is such a joke that it's hard to see why they made so many sacrifices on other simple parts of the toy like those awful wheels.
Also, is it really too much to ask that we get a Bumblebee that turns into a bee?
