Transformers: Cyberworld, Bumblebee Gets Yamcha'd

Just a semi-copy from the other thread to get this in the right spot.
There is so much about this toy that's bizarre. The head and arms are symmetrical, till you get to the hands, but the paint and lower-arm sculpts make for a great TM2 asymmetry illusion even though they aren't. The upper legs are each their own mold and AREN'T identical on the front, though the back is the same. Actual paint is well done, the legs are Beast Wars Basic level while the arms are single piece, though he DOES have wrist articulation due to the tail on one side, and there are NINE 5mm ports though I don't know what they're for, including the one the tail, which has its own port, plugs into. Five of these wind up on the top of the shark-car, one of which is positioned like a whale's blowhole, and one is on the robot's back.
And the wheels are just odd. No plastic snaps, they're actual metal-pinned, and painted. Shark-Car-Byte rolls better than many car-bots in the modern era.
It does seem so much like a homage to that odd Hot Wheels Shark car that always seems to be on the shelf no matter what year or store it is.
