    Despite not being a huge fan of TLK, there is something about the WWII versions of Bee and Hot Rod. Just a shame that this still has Bumblebee's legs and lower arms, even though they unnecessarily remoulded part of the alt mode shell (just as annoying as Drift still having Dropkick's feet and leg parts when everything else was new, or MV1 Megatron having the ROTF chest). I know it all comes down to budgets and reusing what they can, but it kind of defeats the purpose of creating more accurately sculpted figures etc. especially when his only other deluxe figure also has inaccurate parts unchanged from Lockdown. Poor Hot Rod.

    Oof, that back kibble on the WWII Bot Bros hurt me more than it should, and I\'m okay with the MP-44 back kibble. Why is it this one bothers me like the Siege Unicron?

    Probably because they're shellformers.

    Dude you just pulled the "If your friends jumped of a bridge would you?" taking something to an extreme is not making it "real simple". I'm willing to admit he sucks as a character, but it's not because they disrespected the source material, it's just becuase he sucks.

    Not bad, but still an easy pass. While I could've gotten WWII Bee and rename him something else, with this guy I can't do.
