Agreed. One of the best moulds to come out of the ROTF line.

I like the HA figure but I really do like the robot proportions of the Deluxe class version much more.

Its alt mode is sexy The deluxe would've been nice if it had the amount of detail the HA version had. The only complaint I have for him is Epps, that thing looks like a badly made army figure.

I think HA's proportions are just fine. I'm pretty happy with him. On a related note, does anyone remember where the missile is stored in vehicle mode? I've already packed away the instructions, and just can't remember.

I can't wait to find this figure. Too bad all my local stores suck ****. Oh well, there's always the Action Figure Expo in a couple weeks. My only problem is Epps' lazy eye, which seems to be a common problem.

My local WM has HA BB, HA SS, and Voyager Stratosphere right now. My budget for TFs is recovering so when I can, I'd like to get Stratosphere, HA BB, and HA SS(depending how it looks to me after a while), in that order.

That was the problem I encountered when I was selecting my Deluxe (Preview) Bumblebee a few months ago...And the only one who had a decent set of eyes must've been the most painful to transform!

He's okay now, after many moments of trying to transform him as efficiently as the '07/'08 ones, but only just!

Similar point; Deluxe Sideswipe - I tried finding him store after store, but when I finally did, the headlight areas on his feet don't exactly meet up properly with the rest of the body in vehicle mode (yet others I have now seen do). I've got him to a point where I'm satisfied, but his feet/headlight parts are still off...Any suggestions, or ideas?

cool gallery

I like this figure, even with the huge backpack. Nice look, articulation, and the stands for his feet give a good bit to work with.

The HA line is keeping my interest, I can't wait to see how Barricade turns out.

Maybe they're just not tabbed / transformed / alligned correctly? I know some of them could be fixed after you open them up and fixes them yourself.

Well i have to say the seibertron photo treatment has won me over on this figure. Still not worth the $ they're asking since its basically the same as the deluxe version so im gonna pass until its cheap. Also dont like half the car being on the back. At least on the deluxe version it doesnt look to bad.

Meh - I don't mean to be a party-pooper, but this toy is ****. Looks just OK from the front, but when you turn it around, it's complete ass. Uhhh, no pun intended.

I've seen it around Dallas and have had no issues passing on it. IMO, the Deluxe BB and SS are kinda worth the cash, but the HA versions should be burned.

Don't get me wrong, he looks nice my only thing is he is a bit too bulky and not as sleek and slim as his deluxe model (which in my honest opinion is one of the finest TF releases in years). And the half the car shell backpack takes away from it too..

And is it me or does his legs not look right?
His thighs look too short or maybe it is because his knee joints are a bit "high".

I think HA BB is prob one of the best incarnation of Movie BB. While HA SS is only good in his alt mode.
