Transformation is ordinary and the bot mode is lacking...and it's not even the head. The upper torso is too hollow, the feet too big and flipper-like, and the wing placement in bot mode just doesn't do it for me. Maybe if they were flipped around and showed the insignia, I dunno. Jet mode looks pretty nice, though.

Aye, the light variant was only available in the eraly runs before Hasbro did a Running Change and started producing him (and others) in the darker colours

Part of the mold uses a more rubbery plastic, but I don't find it to feel cheap or thin...different, yes, but not like it's low quality.

The thicker parts feel identical to the parts used on Deluxe Bumblebee.
Hope that helps.

Should I get Gears or try to find Stockade? I'm not really sure. I don't have that mold yet.

A) You're not going to find Stockade anywhere, except maybe eBay for double retail price.
B) Gears is an awesome repaint, and IMO is way better looking that plain black Stockade, who'd kind of boring.
