Transformers Legacy United Deluxe Class Animated Universe Bumblebee, 5.5-Inch Converting Action Figure, 8+

This figure is such a beautiful homage to the character from Transformers Animated. While not 1-1 accurate, he's clearly distinct from his G1 counterpart and has a fun little transformation. The only downside is that the holes for the stingers are just slightly in the wrong angle to let them look good outside of the joined hands pose.

This bumblebee is tiny, but nicely detailed.This Bumblebee can pose fairly well and the transformation is pretty easy.

Great figure for fans of the original Transformers Animated Bumblebee.Something to note is that this is a very small figure, despite it being a “deluxe class” it’s a tad bit on the small side.If you’re feeling nostalgic for the cult classic Transformers Animated, then this figure is the right one for you!As someone who grew up with the original series and figure, this hits close to home and I’m so glad that Hasbro is acknowledging the show that was so beloved.

I want to start by saying that Hasbro has seemingly improved the quality of cardboard used on the Legacy United figures (that I've gotten so far). It seems to be a lot thicker and more protective of the figures. This Bumblebee figure is quite small, but very articulated and detailed. A lot of the hollow gaps that would normally be on a deluxe, are filled in on this figure. It does a good job of blending the animated style with a more traditional one. One downside to the figure overall is the use of clear plastic, and although it seems thicker than what they were using, I'm still worried about breakage. The accessories are somewhat underwhelming. He comes with 2 blasters that double as boosters and his "stingers" peg into them via a small clear plastic peg. I'm once again concerned by the durability of these as the pegs are quite small and easily broken. The alt mode is the worst part of this figure. Transformation into alt-mode is a bit finicky. It's not that its difficult step-wise, it's just hard to get everything lined up right and move the door panels into place. What you end up with is a vehicle with gaps and things not going into place properly. It's quite a mess. The robot mode is so good though and makes it worth the purchase. I do wish these smaller bots had their own class at a cheaper price, but that's to be expected. Overall, I think that if you are a fan of the animated series then this would be a good figure to get.

Yes, the price is a bit steep but I would argue that the quality of the figure balances it out. While he is the size of a legends figure, he has all the detailing of a deluxe or even voyager. He's got quite the detail for being so small. Transformation is solid, wheels roll well on all surfaces!

Great figure! Love the Animated show. Bumblebee is a solid cool figure. Love his accessories and the transformation is pretty cool too, not too simple or too complicated.

Just like the sho2z this figure is the perfect reboot of the original. Easy to transform, exceptional engineering for the price, and a surprising durability from the clear plastic parts. This is something I've constantly played with, feeling like a little kid again. If you like Animated, or love it like me, this is a must buy.

Hasbro really needs to step up their quality control. The right shoulder was a very loose, making his right arm dangle down due to its own weight and certain pegs were a little too tight such as having Bumblebee's stingers attach to his vehicle mode. Transformation is a little difficult with his chest parts being too tight to move around. But with enough transformations, all of the tight joints eventually loosen up.
