Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

[Dake]

Instead of a titan; just a giant box with seven seekers.

No joke, this would be an instant buy from me. And honestly, I think it would do pretty well in general. I can't believe they haven't done a six-pack or something at least - put it on Amazon and Pulse, see what happens.

Skip the Rainmakers for now since we at least have them in the Siege mold, but all those cool mix-and-match prototype jets? I'm all in.

And then you do a Tidal Wave to scale with the seekers. I'm here for it.

And now I have to explain to the wife why there's no longer room in the garage for her car.

And you open the box to find that, surprise, all seven just have Starscream's colors.

And one of them somehow has two left fists.

Don't forget two right legs, then he can say that he put his best foot forward!

 

[Darth_Prime]

Is he tempted depending on how the colors came out. If they look like the Siege 3 pack, pass. If they put a little effort, I’m in.

I got my Origins Jazz in today from Pulse. I'm honestly impressed, a few joints are REALLY tight, but unlike any other Jazz I have, all the limbs stay on without trouble and it goes into either mode solidly. Just for that alone I'm making this 'my' shelf Jazz, since my nephew is obsessed with the RTS one and POTP has both the Smokeout labels, and his legs fall off if touched.

 

[Dake]

Yeah, he really is quite good.

 

[Sciflyer]

I got him this week and have not had the opportunity to open due to work, etc. Can't wait to check it out.

 

[Echowarrior]

Just got mine in the mail today too. It'll be a bit before I'm able to fiddle with him, alas.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

It's the lively proportions that do it for me. The budget used to be a lot higher but it didn't buy proportions like that. These things used to have stick figure limbs attached to oversized torsos and we thought they were good because the details and articulation were there. We didn't know what we didn't have.

 

[Platypus Prime]

That was sort of the impression I had. I wish I had a transforming skateboard for him (no, I don't have the Armada minicon one and I don't know if it would fit, though it DID have a post on top...). His wrists and foot pegs would make for a lot of options.

Then again, origins Bumblebee was the only one who could hold the Earthrise bazooka AS a bazooka, so it could be that the shellforming aspect has allowed them more leeway with the Robot Mode articulation and integrity. Like how Big Convoy for a long time was one of the few Primes that could hold his Matrix properly.

The next fan-vote 3-pack should be for three Seekers from the Earthrise molds. I'd love a Sunstorm, Slipstream, and the unreleased Jungle-y one or Blackout.

I've mulled a custom Turbo Board Twins thing out of two Soundbarriers, or maybe a Soundbarrier and a Slitherfang. Just one might not be long enough for a good stance.

I found one at TRU here in Canada the other day. He's really cool! And he looks great alongside Origin Bumblebee.

 

[Lobjob]

Origins Jazz is amazing. He makes me wish we had a whole line of futuristic cybertronian vehicles in *this* aesthetic. Round, G1 animated vibes.

I'm still holding out hope for *actual* tetra jets. Let's do this. (And Wheeljack, obviously)

 

[Sciflyer]

Yeah, I really want a Wheeljack to round things out. At this current rate, he feels very much like a possibility.

 

[Sabrblade]

If only Wheeljack (and Spinister) had won the Siege fan poll instead of Mirage and Impactor. We could have had a Cybertronian-altmoded Siege Wheeljack.
