Bumblebee

Reveal the Shield - A simple but awesome figure. Bumblebee has followed its movie counterpart livery; a yellow paint with black stripe. This version of Bumbleebee is solid and quite nice. But if you have the extra cash, you can always go for the Takara version Transformers United Bumblebee. That version had metallic yellow paint but a bit expensive than this Reveal the Shield edition.

Bio

Bumblebee is one of the smallest and physically weakest Autobots. While his stature allows him to do his job better than most Autobots could manage, he is self-conscious about his size. Maybe this is why he makes fast friends among the humans. He looks up (so to speak) to the other Autobots, especially Optimus Prime, but what he doesn't realize is that they look up to him. He may be small, but he's brave, and he's one of the most well-liked Autobots around. Bumblebee already has the respect he craves.

Vehicle Mode

The vehicle come with an additional jet ski vehicle. It is loaded behind of Bumblebee. The actual function for the jet ski is that it transform into Bumblebee flight mode. If you look inside the vehicle, you can see two really neat seats that add a nice aesthetic to the whole design. The only thing that you need to be careful is not to lose the jet ski vehicle as it is small and easily misplaced.

Transformation Mode

To be honest, I really love this version of Bumblebee. It reminds me of the G1 version of Bumblebee. I mean the head and even the location of transformation parts were identical to the G1 version. The transformation was not that hard but needed a little bit more attention especially the arms part. But after a few try, you will have no problem transforming it back to vehicle mode. And the best of all, I bought this version of Bumblebee for only B$15 at Hua Ho. Quite a bargain at that time.
