Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Ultimate Bumblebee
Based on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the Hasbro Transformers Ultimate Bumblebee Figure is the premium movie-adapted Transformers toy on the market. Designed for ages five and older, and standing an impressive 14 inches tall, this action figure is more than deserving of the title “Ultimate.” With a sleek design, battle and conversation sounds, and advanced animatronics system, Ultimate Bumblebee is an ideal toy for serious Transformers collectors.
Convert From Car to Robot (click on image to embiggen)
Ultimate Bumblebee is one of the most fully featured action figures you’ll find. Initially, Ultimate Bumblebee appears as a sleek 2010 Camaro. With its vivid yellow finish and racing stripes, Ultimate Bumblebee’s car form is as detailed and well built as any model car and would be a perfect addition to a cabinet or dresser top. The car is able to roll freely on carpet and hard surfaces alike.
Like all Transformers, there is more to Ultimate Bumblebee’s Camaro form than meets the eye. When it is time for him to come out of disguise and confront his enemies, he can transform into a massive, powerful robot. Equipped with a firing plasma cannon, he is prepared to defend your local neighborhood from Decepticon attacks.
With a few adjustments, you can transform Ultimate Bumblebee seamlessly between robot and vehicle mode. In robot mode, Bumblebee stands an impressive 14 inches high, and is fully articulated to be posable. He is also handsomely detailed, and features a retractable battle mask.
Serious collectors may have some concerns about the figure. His articulation leaves something to be desired — some of his joints feel a bit stiff, and pickier collectors might find him somewhat limited in his movement. The figure’s robot-to-car conversion is also fairly difficult to perform, taking up to 30 minutes. Younger children might not be able to transform Bumblebee on their own. Still, these flaws can be overlooked, given the overall high quality of the toy.
Advanced Animatronics and Sounds
Ultimate Bumblebee features an advanced animatronic design, allowing him to move and animate himself when in robot mode. With the touch of a button, he’ll burst into motion. His head moves from side to side, and his arms and wings both move up and down. He can even aim his plasma cannon and fire off his missile.In addition to his animatronics and motion, Ultimate Bumblebee can also make a variety of sounds. This ever-vigilant Autobot has dozens of different phrases, such as “Let’s roll out!” and “Take that, Decepticon!” He also makes battle sounds — you’ll hear the firing of his plasma cannon and the whirring, crushing sound of his movements. He’ll even boogie as he plays “The Touch” by Stan Bush.
About Transformers
The Transformers began as a Hasbro toy line back in 1984, featuring toy vehicles that could transform into robots. The toys soon inspired an entire universe of fictional story lines, pitting the two factions of Transformers — the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons — against one another. A live-action movie based on the Transformers was released in 2007 and has continued the toy line’s popularity. With toys such as the Ultimate Bumblebee Figure, kids can bring home the struggle between the Autobots and Decepticons.What’s in the Box
