I really love this guy. He has 17 points of articulation(19 counting his retractable hands). Two are in his neck, three are in each arm, one in his waist, and four in each leg. He has rocket boosters that attach in both modes, and the holes that they go in are barely noticable. The "stingers" that fold out of his arms and can be put together into a bigger stinger. The hood and windshield halves are also springloaded to keep them always close to the back of the legs.

The stingers don't go all the way into his arms, but if someone really wanted to they could modify theirs by carving away some of the plastic near the hinge.

Overall, Bumblebee isn't completely cartoon accurate, but a great figure to own. He's worth the $35 I paid, and he's certainly worth the $10 he'll cost in June. 8/10.

Also, I should be getting Cybertronian mode Optimus Prime sometime next week and I'll take some pictures of him when he arrives.

Aye, he has a certain Bumblebee cutesy-ness to him.

I suppose these here Animated toys aren't so bad after all? Megatron and Black Arachnia looked rather smashing.

But BB's a smirky lil' bugger nowadays, now isn't he?

Here's the pictures I promised of Cybertronian Optimus Prime. Apparently Hasbro is releasing the entire first wave in Cincinatti early for Botcon, so I'll make galleries of the Animated figures I buy(hopefully them all).

Got mine recently.

Here's something I call The Charge Of The Yellow Brigade.

EDIT: for nothing more than the hell of it, I took another pic.
