Transformers Legacy United Deluxe Class Animated Universe Bumblebee, 5.5-Inch Converting Action Figure, 8+

Great figure came undamaged and has a great transformation I’m pleased to say it’s great 10 out of 10 :)

One of the easiest transformers to transform. My 5 year old son loves this toy.

This figure is such a beautiful homage to the character from Transformers Animated. While not 1-1 accurate, he's clearly distinct from his G1 counterpart and has a fun little transformation. The only downside is that the holes for the stingers are just slightly in the wrong angle to let them look good outside of the joined hands pose.

I want to start by saying that Hasbro has seemingly improved the quality of cardboard used on the Legacy United figures (that I've gotten so far). It seems to be a lot thicker and more protective of the figures. This Bumblebee figure is quite small, but very articulated and detailed. A lot of the hollow gaps that would normally be on a deluxe, are filled in on this figure. It does a good job of blending the animated style with a more traditional one. One downside to the figure overall is the use of clear plastic, and although it seems thicker than what they were using, I'm still worried about breakage. The accessories are somewhat underwhelming. He comes with 2 blasters that double as boosters and his "stingers" peg into them via a small clear plastic peg. I'm once again concerned by the durability of these as the pegs are quite small and easily broken. The alt mode is the worst part of this figure. Transformation into alt-mode is a bit finicky. It's not that its difficult step-wise, it's just hard to get everything lined up right and move the door panels into place. What you end up with is a vehicle with gaps and things not going into place properly. It's quite a mess. The robot mode is so good though and makes it worth the purchase. I do wish these smaller bots had their own class at a cheaper price, but that's to be expected. Overall, I think that if you are a fan of the animated series then this would be a good figure to get.

Just like the sho2z this figure is the perfect reboot of the original. Easy to transform, exceptional engineering for the price, and a surprising durability from the clear plastic parts. This is something I've constantly played with, feeling like a little kid again. If you like Animated, or love it like me, this is a must buy.

I bought this for my grandson and to see him so excited when he opened up his gift was very heartwarming! This transformer was a Terrific Purchase!

Animated Bumblebee is the only time I have truly loved the character. This figure is such a great representation of that charming design and scales wonderfully with the Optimus and Prowl that have also recently been released.

Hasbro really needs to step up their quality control. The right shoulder was a very loose, making his right arm dangle down due to its own weight and certain pegs were a little too tight such as having Bumblebee's stingers attach to his vehicle mode. Transformation is a little difficult with his chest parts being too tight to move around. But with enough transformations, all of the tight joints eventually loosen up.
