 According to his tech spec, Bumblebee was among the first Autobots sent to earth by Optimus Prime. Fitting then, that he be among the first to get a review here at The Allspark. This version of Bumblebee is the 1974 Chevrolet Camaro as seen in Transformers: The Movie and is a Deluxe class figure that retails for around $9.95 US. Like previous incarnations of the character from other series, his primary colors are yellow and black. The yellow in this case is a very subdued real world shade that is close to the original colors available on the 1974 Camaro.

 The Allspark was forunate enough this week to obtain an advanced release of the highly anticipated Movie Optimus Prime Leader Class toy. The toy is packaged in robot mode and stands approximately 9 inches (23 cm) tall. The front package includes a "Try Me" feature to highlight the new "Automorph Technology" which, in theory is designed to assist in the ease of transformation. In practical application, though, it is a switch to activate the toy's light and sound features. When release, Prime's chest expands and opens up, revealing his robot head and activates a sound that seems to be a truck engine with laser sounds.
In vehicle mode a button on Prime's shoulder (the truck's roof) makes air horn sounds. The LED lights in his chest and eyes light up when the sounds are activated. Although the box art portrays his LED lights as being blue, the units that are being produced have amber lights. Whether this is an early production run or an absolute change is unknown. |
