    Yup. like what fenrys said. KBB Hornet Agent, an upscaled ko of newage bumblebee. He scales well with WFC figures.. but downside is no waist swivel. But good alt mode like in the cartoon and a good bumblebee face. It's one of the reasons why I didn't get wfc earthrise bumblebee.

    About this kbb hornet. The one thing that bothers me is the hole on his hand to hold a gun. It's not a 5mm hole. It's a small rectangular shape for the gun he comes with... and it's a very small gun. I always try my best to do a DIY or buy upgrades or fix my figures.
    So in the picture his left hand is the original hole.. his right hand is the one I "fix". And now he can hold weapons with a 5mm peg.

    I will do the left hand tomorrow. It's late already o_O

    I have an easy way around that - I'm a toon characters collector for the most part so can quite easily just switch off from the recolours if that makes sense. E.g. I'd have sideswipe and red alert, but wouldnt look at the others. Same with Inferno and Grapple, would have both but don't care about Artfire. I'm always open to toy characters I have a nostalgic affinity for though

    I want to like that Sharkticon, but it looks like it's squatting to take a dump in animal mode. I hope its just the pic. Proportions seem way off in bot mode.

    Case assortment is 2 Gnaws, 2 Jazz and 2 each of unrevealed(live action I think) figs.
    If you don't already have Jazz, don't rush/overpay for him now.

    I recently ordered Hot Rod and Grimlock with Wheelie. They said it will be available this month.

    They just don't know how to pose him that's all. But I do like that they make him a bit bigger size than before which is legends size? I think he said that now it's a deluxe size. Because in the 86 movie they a not that small.
    Excuse my English. I'm just another transformers fan from another country

    Thank you, I've missed out on Netflix Bumblebee (it was a pain to get here in Southern Europe), I'll definitely consider this one.

    You know after watching this review again makes wonder... after slag that comes with a little Daniel exosuit figure. What's next that comes with the rest of the dinobots? Not a lot of tiny figure with stupid articulation.
    They really should give swords.
    I know it was not in the 86 movie but better swords than stupid tiny figures that can't transform and sad articulation

    I just love the dinobots

    If we get other dinobots I can imagine we might get Spike with Swoop and with Sludge maybe that battle droid Hotrod was fighting on the shuttle

    I’m not expecting to see Snarl since he was barely in the film, but I hope I’m wrong
