NITRO Bumblebee appreciation thread I'm gonna have to eat some crow here; I have been one of these people who have said "Enough with the Bumblebee's!". Particularly since there wasn't any Nitro BB in the movie. But after seeing a custom in Radicons lately, I decided to spring the $7 for one on Clearance at Wal Mart. Let me just say that I truly appreciate the new engineering and new mold aspects of this figure. Altho the B figure has dramatically evolved from TF '07, they have maintained very similar engineering- particularly in the legs. NITRO does things several things differently. Too litle too late... but lets see if you can keep thinking out of the box for Movie 4 BB like you did with NITRO.
I got one of these as part of a two-pack with the red and white DotM Ratchet last Christmas, and I haven't even bothered opening him up since he was yet another Bumblebee. Maybe someday....
I realize that this thread is quite old, but I just got mine and I want to show how I keep his kibble in bot mode. I got him free from a friend who somehow managed to lose the right arm...not sure how that happens, haha. Anyway I'm just using my phone camera, so I apologize if the pictures aren't very clear. I pushed the whole back section up until it locked in place. The wheels are folded down to the inside of the kibble, filling out his torso just a bit more. When folded out, the back bottom kibble looks almost like those smaller secondary wings that Bee has in the movies. Here are some comparison pictures of the official transformation versus mine.
