Alternity Bumble Video Review

I admit, he looks a lot better in-hand than he does in pictures. Good review.

Another great review. BB looks fantastic! I'm getting him for Xmas and I can't wait!

nice ive been waiting for your review on this guy but niblet would have done a better job i think lol. mine is on its way

These are much more Deluxe then their size leads to. Can't wait for Bee and Cliff to arrive.

he looks a 1000% times better then any photo has, I might actually get him

SOLD!

Pictures just doesnt do this figure justice when i see the review. Definatly going to pick him up now.

maybe I missed it, does he mention anything about metal content?

I will say what I said in the other video review thread for this:

I think he looks like he'd really fit in with anyones alt/binaltech collection and finally fill the BB gap. On the other hand, I find the mold itself less easthetically pleasing then the classics BB mold.

And also, is there a reason that Peaugh's reviews get front paged over someone elses that was posted earlier? No offense to Peaugh of course, your reviews are always appreciated.

Perhaps I missed it in the review, but there is an additional step to the leg transformation that makes the legs much more "solid" and easier to pose. Basically fold up the two hinges in the upper thighs. I have attached pics to show the detail. The figures are much more stable after doing this, and much easier to pose.

Also there is a tiny sliding slot that can be used to move the rear window closer into the body in robot mode. Pic for that is attached as well.

i think its because he is the first to review them i know there was another person that did a review on this guy first but he is not going on any forums lol

i also wanna see how many people that said this guy is the worst tf ever now go out and buy him

Yeah, but there was another review posted by someone else here a few days back, but after checking that again, I see that the person only provided a link and it wasn't his own review. So, I thinl that answers my question.

Glad to know that the figure will look better in person, just like I thought so. Can't wait to get it!

it must be the review im talking about its the only one ive seen besides this do you have a link to it?

Yes! Peaugh's review! Just what the doctor ordered!

I am so close to ordering him and Cliffy right now. Man I hated those torsos at first...

Are you referring the the "Robot Adventures" review of these figures?

Nice review. I don't see this thing gets sold out quickly.

BB(and Cliffy) look nice, but too pricey for my tastes. Maybe Hasbro will do something with the Alternity figs someday.

Damn, now I want one of these.

yes and it did get put up? the guy cracks me up but you can see why it would not be on the front page

Lol, I don't see why he doesn't want any of his videos on forums. Is he a member of any?

Damn you Peaugh!

I'll have to get this now...

Seriously, great review, thanks!

I just wonder why he looks so much better than the pictures led me to believe. The chest is tolerable now it seems, and the rest of Bumblebee is pure love.

Alright. I found my tax return toy purchase. set of 2

Car mode looks good... all doors can open..that is impressive... transforming seems satisfying.. where the pistols hidden in car mode is nice... at the legs on robot mode is even better.
Bot mode... the chest torso is still bothering.. I wished it can be collapsed like the Classic bee.
So I am still not persuaded. ... need more nice poses to justify ... the back wings and the Track's shoulders are kind of weird on bumblebee... Suzuki hmmm... I wished if it was a Civic I 'd get a little more push into getting one... well, i guess if I skip this one; maybe something is better in future...

Great review man! I do want this figure, however, the only thing that irks me about the toy is just how yellow the chest is. I guess if Hasbro were to release it, he would get a black stripe or two.

Must get him whenever i have the money .

Also Great review!

I will be getting them both..they look awesome
alternity may very well be the toyline where i will get two different colored version's of every character released...lol

Chuck, the folded up position doesn't lock into place for you does it? Because it almost feels like it should, but it doesn't for me? Thanks!

Randy

he looks great i cant wait to get him in >< im looking forward to cliffjumper more though

No it doesn't unfortunately. I disassembled the leg last night to see if I could make it latch, but it won't. There is the notch/slot that fits the hinge piece when folded, so I assume that much is correct.

Latching or not it makes the leg much more stable.

I really like this figure and this just makes me like it more. Alternity has not disappointed me so far, and it looks like this one will also please me no end. I have him ready for me at Kapow Toys to buy in the coming week. Not sure about Cliffjumper, though. He needs to be a little more different, I think.

Just a quick question, is there much metal on this guy? My one thing about the Alternity Megatron is the lack of metal on him.

I have been walking the edge of a knife trying to decide if I want these. I think I'll spring for them now, especially since they are such an improvement over the Classics.

Got mine yesterday - LOVE IT. The chest isn't nearly so bad in person, just like everyone says. He's probably my favorite alternity mold, I think I'll even spring for Cliffjumper (and I generally hate repaints).

One word of caution - that little flap behind his head (that I thought was pointless at first) folds down and hits a button that makes his hips spring down a tad more. I didn't realize this and it took me forever to figure out why the engine cover wouldn't clip down in robot mode.

I do have one minor gripe. I wish his pistols would clip onto the outside of his thighs as well. Reaching for guns on the inside of your lower legs seems - impractical.

Same here, I think this mold is my fave of the Alternity Line so far. Nothing against Convoy or Megatron, but everything is just a tad bit better on the Suzuki mold. Stability, transformation, realistic vehicle mode, etc.

Thanks for hint about that tab. I've been folding it down, but AFTER I'd gotten the rest in place. Folding it down BEFORE you pull the legs all the way out does wonders!

cool figure and all, but i still think classics bumblebee looks better.

Oh, classics bumblebee is great, to be sure. Alternity Bumblebee is just a lot of fun too.

Wow. I was hoping to skip Bee and Cliffjumper. After this review, Bumblebee will definitely be ordered, and maybe Cliffjumper as well.

Just got mine and I have to say I'm a touch disappointed.

It IS nice, don't get me wrong. The size and clumsiness of the body shape feels more like it belongs with the Binaltechs than the alternity figures.

Even though my favorite figures still are from the alt/bt line (mirage and Prime)- over all the previous two alternity figures had an attention to detail on the bodies (non car parts), that we had seldom seen in the alt/bt line.

So he IS a cool toy. He just feels like a small step backward to me. I'm also far more likely to display him (at least in bot mode) with my alt/bt's.

I got mine in about a week ago but didn't bother to open him until today. I thought he would be my least favorite out of the alternities I got, but it's actually the opposite! I like him better than my alternity convoy! I can't stand the short arms on convoy when he raises them. Not so with the BB. Great proportioning of the legs and arms in relation to the body.

The only complaint I have is with how tough the legs were to pull out. I almost felt like I was going to snap the plastic somewhere. It was really confusing looking at the instructions. Thanks Peaugh for the help on that!

Excellent, excellent figure. BTW, does anyone's front doors close fully on their BB or does it pop a tad?
