    I don’t know which is more disappointing to me. The complete lack of a proper Beast Wars style Bumblebee for this or the fact the animal head is a chicken and not a bumblebee.

    ehrm achually they can’t make a bumblebee toy that turns into a bumblebee because that would make it a non-copyrightable descriptor

    He actually looks pretty cool.. just not $53 cool.

    We’re long past the days of Beetle, Rhino, Panther, and Manta Ray. :lol 

    Now that I think about it decades later, there was probably no trademark info at all and they were just telling you the animal, not their names, because they had none..

    That’s how we got Under-3!

    Non trademarkable.

    You can copyright it all day long if it has a personality and identifiable attributes that were creatively made.

    Plus, it kind of doesn't matter if one Bumblebee toy doesn't have trademark protection on the name because all the others DO.

    Not a bad price to pay to introduce the kids to the Aliens franchise.
