Title:
Transformers G1 Bumblebee Pretender
Description:
Outer shell and helmet only
Bumblebee (Pretender, 1989)
Accessories: Pretender shell, helmet, large ”sonic blaster” rifle, small ”laser pistol”
As part of the sixth year of Generation 1, Bumblebee was released as a ”Classic Pretender”, expanding the range of Pretenders toys. This version of Bumblebee is still a Volkswagen Beetle, but now has what look like off-road tires. His vehicle mode has a realistically-proportioned front end, but the cab area is more relatively compact than on the Goldbug toy (though not quite as deformed as the original Bumblebee). He came with a gun for his robot mode that could be mounted on his roof and another gun for his human shell. Oddly, the robot’s head is modeled after Cliffjumper’s toy head.
