Trust me, you haven't missed anything. The transformation of Ultimate BB is so long and painful. The friggin doors come completely off, and just hang down with only a chord of some kind keeping them attached to him somewhat until you lock them into his back. You have to do that last since they will just fall off during transformation. I'm rather disappointed with him. They should have just ditched the gimmicks, and made a good, solid Voyager BB.

i saw the transformation and man, i don't know if i'll be able to do it. i can't even do the alternators from memory haha! i'll probably end up buying it, but i'd probably buy a less complicated, good solid voyager bumblebee

You know, I was looking forward to this, but now that I really think about it, and I see the price...um, f*** you, Hasbro.

I see this as a new "Supreme Cheetor" for a new generation.

I forgot that I saw the doors do that. Yeah, screw that toy. I don't want it.

It would be massively out of scale with the rest of the movie figures my collection and it just looks too gimicky. I also don't like the fact that it plays "Whip It." I understand 80s nostalgia and all, but c'mon, even though it is catchy the song is pretty lame regardless of how it is used in the movie.

Unless it was free, I wouldn't even consider owning it.

Yeah Ultimate Bumblebee isn't as good as you think it is.

I just wanted to see the video again since its been a while to see if i still want it. :sad:

Thank god I cancelled the order from BBTS. That hanging-door thing doesnt sound right certaintly for almost 100 bucks.

The doors hang down only so u can change everything else and near the end you attach them to the back. Also, there are wire things in robot mode there i guess to look more "roboty" if that makes sense. You can't seriously cancel an order just because the doors hang off to the side for a few seconds. :-B

Devo is awesome. Maybe I'll get one. Not for a while though. Too many others to get my hands on.

I have never seen that before. I was never going to get Ultimate Bumblebee (it would probably end up being sold here for AU$200 or more) but if I had have been contemplating getting him, I certainly wouldnt be any more!

I feel bad, but then i also feel as if I stopped a fellow memember from needlessly spending money on a toy that really needs to be reworked entirely!! This Ultimate Bumblebee is going to be a blight on the Transformers toyline, and is really going to make other highly detailed and large size figures loose out in production because of it.. and the toy company designers are gonna sight that fact of consumer fault versus their design flaws.. its the damn look of it and the stupid transformation!!!

I just hope Hasbo makes just a few of them first, so that way the consumer isn't screwed because they won't sell and we transfans loose out on a nice repaint of MP Starscream or some other huge and nicely done figure...

Why oh Why did they sacrifice Movie accuracy for cheapass animatronics is beyond me...it has a huge ass front engine sitting on his chest and makes him look like he has sagging breasts!!! i would have gone with super movie accuracy over cheap movements and Divo any day..
