A.R.Ms # 9: Bumblebee Classic Deluxe

Someone say "SWEEEEET!!!". Just gotta love the classics. Even though technically this is just a modern sculpt of a classic version(ok it's just the head)...who cares right? He's just so darn cute!!

Although I have to admit I miss the VW Beetle look in car mode. This particular figure is from Takara Tomy. Well, it doesn't matter if the wordings are in Japanese. I think it looks better that way.

Bumblebee comes with a trailer and jetski

In car mode...very hip and sporty

The jetski and trailer forms his jetpack in robot mode

But I think he looks better without the jetpack

A.R.Ms # 8: Transformers Animated, Elite Guard Bumblebee

Let's have a look at another Transformers Animated figure. It's everybody's favourite, the yellow dude with the cuteness factor, Bumblebee. I actually debated with myself if I should get the normal version or this one. After comparing the two, this looks much cooler.

Sporting a black and gold theme, this is one Bumblebee you should get your hands on if you want a variation from the standard yellow.

Overall a good figure. My only complaint is the paint work. They could've done better. Some of the gold paint came off. So, please Hasbro...work on that bit ok?
