I was one of the few that thought the 2 pack optimus/megatron set looked cool- till I got it home and was dissapointed. (I didn't find this website till after the purchase) Just an fyi for other that think bumblebee is without some firepower- the cool gun from opitmus fits bumblebee perfectly. It puts a new meaning to the phrase: Say hello to my little friend!
Damnit! Now I'm going to have to buy that set just for the gun. *grumble grumble* Hasbro sent you here!
You're far from the first person to say this. In fact, my own bumblebee has been using the 2-pack tommy gun for weeks. Megatron's uzi isn't bad either.
In my opinion, RID Prime's pistol is perfect for Classics Bumble, because its essentially a small, cartoony proportioned little gun that's to scale with depictions of Bumblebee.
I too am using a RiD Hightower pistol for BB. Cliffjumper is getting a shaved down Alt Rollbar pistol as a sawn-off shotgun.
Having also been disappointed in that set, I gave MEGATRON'S folding-stock smg to the little yellow bugger. I thought PRIME'S gun looked a bit big on him.
I gave my Bumblebee Cybertron Landmine's launcher without the missile. Fits the colorscheme, and the size works too.
My Bumblebee is unarmed, but I thought of using the Waverunner for a bow, like CyberTooth did over at Seibertron.com
I still use Hightower's gun, not only because it suits him so well, but it stores in the alt mode, which is real important for me.
I use 2-pack Megs pistol, and I even figured out a way for it to attach to waverider in altmode. I dont want to buy another 2-pack for the one for Cliffjumper, so Ill just give him Primes gun.
I am keeping BB weaponless because he's a scout. Scouts are there to spy on enemies and run at the first sign of danger. IMO of course.
I was going to try & see if I could get G1 Pretender Bumble Bee's weapons & then just use those for both BB & Cliff Jumper (giving them each a different one, the smaller one probably for BB). It MIGHT work, as I think they use the same size holes for the classics BB, but as I don't have a Pretender BB or his weapons I can't try it out. -Quickswitch
