BumblebeeJuly 9, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Well I was excited about finally finding bumblebee, but foudn two. oneis to open, and one is sealed.
well I opened it and wondered what exactly is automorph? all it was was the front popped down. big deal. whats so automorph about that?
then I broke the arm off, and his head fell off
I'm [...], so whats to expect from a [...]trying to play with it.
It took a few minutes to get him actually together since the instructions only tell you how to morph him from car to "man"
its now just sitting on my desk.
Toys now are way too expensive for what you get. like their marvel legends and others.
whatever happened to the quality of transformers. when I was 5 playing with G1 toys, I had no problem at all!
very disappointingJuly 1, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I got this in the twin pack with Barricade. I remember in the old days, getting a new transformer toy was fun, but now, it took me 10 minutes to undo Bumblebee from all his wire and tape bondage just to get him out of the package. Once out, I run into a problem in the first transformation step, flipping the feet into the back of the car. The left leg just didn't want to move to the right place. Under more careful examination, I realized there must be some sort of mismatched gear preventing it from moving to the right place. Anyway, I tried continuing with the rest of the transformation, and sort of got it into car mode. Of course I ran into the problem that some people have been reporting, the stupid "Automorph" feature on the hood, it basically is spring loaded, so if you press this area on the hood, it pops down and his head pops up. Well, mine was flawed so it was VERY hard to get the thing to stay put. Anyway, after 20 minutes fighting with the thing, I got tired and gave up after having zero fun.
Later on, I took a screw driver to the left leg, took out the cover hiding the gears which moves the feet and the rear roof top, and found that yes, my toy's left foot was one gear off, so after resetting that, I was able to get the left foot to transform properly.
Overall, it was extremely disappointing as a toy. I had a load of frustration and zero fun. I cannot imagine any kid enjoying it, or even playing with it because it is just a hassle more than anything.
keeps a 4 year old busyJune 27, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
My 4 year old son loves transforming this toy. It took him a while(with some help) to transform it, but now he does it on his own. After being transformed about 30 times the front of the car would not lock back into the up position. I see another reviewer's car developed the same problem. This toy is not as good quality as the Movie Leaders Optimus Prime and Megatron Transformers(which I would more highly recommend). The movie leaders are too complex for my 4 yr old to transform.
This first wave of Bumblebee is goodJune 19, 2007 7 out of 20 found this review helpful
I'e heard some people state that there was a defect in them but the one I have and the one I gave my nephew are fine, I just think there are a lot of stupid people trying to transform them and breaking them, because they're morons and can't read directions.
Not well made. DANGERJune 19, 2007 22 out of 29 found this review helpful
My son is almost eight and has been playing with Transformers for several years. We opened this Bumblebee and almost instantly the doors broke. They are VERY weak at the joint. All of our other Transformers over these few years have been great, this one however lacks quality construction.

Video Review of City Commander Upgrade Resident Transformer reviewer Peaugh has posted a nice, detailed review of the recently released City Commander upgrade set created for the Classics Universe Ultra Magnus figure.
The video goes in the great step by step detail on how to convert and attach the new addition along with nice video angles showing off the impressive attachments.
The images show both robot and vehicle mode (Earth Helicopter). The image of the robot mode shows that Megatron has decent articulation, but unlike the Leader Class version, his cannon cannot be attached to his forearm.

Seibertron.com Reviews Soon To Be Released Glu Mobile 'Tranformers: G1 Awakening' Game Thanks to staff member Stormrider, I was given the chance to make contact with a member of Glu mobile;#x2019;s PR staff, and was able to play a demo of the soon to be released ;#x2018;Transformers: G1 Awakening;#x2019; game for cellular phones. Glu Mobile was very kind and even sent me a compatible phone loaded with the game to play, as they do not currently have a version available for the iPhone.
I was able to spend about a week with the game, wasting many precious hours, staying up until the wee early hours of the morning as I played the addicting game, and tried to experience as much of it as I could before I had to send the demo back....
First off we have Stealth, err, Goldbug... I mean ELITE GUARD BUMBLEBEE by Tamo536. Straight up repaint of the Original Animated Bumblebee, but according to the reviewer the 'stingers' are now able to better fit into the arms...
And also a huge picture montage courtesy of the Japanese Transformers Image Board showing Sentinel in package, with other Elite Guard members, and with the Headmaster unit firmly placed on his shoulders.
Everybody should want to get Sentinel as soon as they can...
"Move bots or you'll have to do more transform ups!!!"
