TF Movie Deluxe Class BUMBLEBEE '08 CAMARO

[chris]

Took me awhile to get two of this, but it's worth the wait!

TF Movie Deluxe Class BUMBLEBEE '08 Camaro Concept.

The packaging..



Out of the box.. 5th-gen Chevrolet Camaro concept variant.







GOOD:

*Doors can be opened when in car mode as opposed to the other TFTM toys.
*Overall car coolness: I'd rate this 9 out of 10!

BAD:

*Feet part is visible(refer to the first picture in car mode)!
*Door color is a lot more faded than the rest of the car body.The window and door part(repainted yellow) is made of the same transparent blue plastic material.
*Sold out like pancakes in the malls(to quote "hoarders eat them for breakfast"), so expect some overpricing from some individual sellers, toystores and hobby shops.

Stay tuned for the robot mode!

ROBOT MODE:

Mug shots.. The automorph technology is featured in the feet part (also in the chest part but I barely noticed it). Once the feet is pulled out from the vehicle mode position, the rest of the the feet part goes into the right places automatically (the feel of panels sliding and parts reconfiguring, particularly in his legs).


The Gun, when the upper and lower portions are flipped sideways, a gear-operated translucent blue dagger will pop up..



Do you feel lucky punk? Do yah?


Some shots..

THE GOOD:
*Good poseability (passed the so-called "kick test"). "Ball-joints" at most parts (arms, neck, waist, legs) so those part has about 180 degrees of movement.
*Robot's sculpt is better than the '74 Camaro model (obviously)!
*Both the Chevy and autobot logo can be seen and that kinda adds to the coolness of the toy I guess?

THE BAD:
*Ball joints tend to be a little loose.
*Plate number near the crotch is just for details only, not visible when in car mode.

I'd rate this guy 9 of 10 also!

All in all, this one's definitely worth buying (being one of the main characters in the movie)! Two if you can. One for keeps to be displayed/played in either mode, one to sell at an exorbitant price someday! ;D

Thanks for viewing!
