Title:
Bumblebee Project
Description:
Bumblebee (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
Accessories: MechTech Blaster/Plasma Cannon
Part of the first wave of Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class figures, Bumblebee is an entirely new mold that resembles in many ways the 2010 toyline Battle Blade Bumblebee and is much more accurate than previous Deluxe Bumblebees. In addition to the cosmetic changes made to the vehicle mode and robot mode to resemble the third movie’s altered visual design, this Bumblebee also comes with a MechTech weapon. When a lever is pulled back on the "Blaster” weapon, it opens up into a larger "Plasma Cannon”, but it springs back into its original position once the lever is left alone. The MechTech weapon can be held in his hands, attach via 5mm pegholes/MechTech ports on his forearms, or plug in a "concealed” 5mm peg hole on the vehicle mode’s roof. Two extraneous 5mm peg holes are also located on his vehicle mode hood flap and can be flipped up and used in robot mode to shoulder-mount weapons beside his head. Additionally, C joint bars are sculpted into Bumblebee’s forearms. His pair of hands features poseable fingers (albeit 4+1), and it can be formed into a 5mm compatible hand if adjusted properly. Take note that the joints are strong enough to hold the MechTech blaster until it wears off over time of play.
Bumblebee can form a semi-Stealth Force configuration by lifting up the rear half of his roof, exposing concealed cannons sculpted in translucent blue plastic. Also of note in vehicle mode is the sculpted Camaro SS badging near the doors, which doesn’t appear on any other Dark of the Moon Bumblebee toy or the prop vehicles used for filming.
Just like his CG robot model, his package art depicts his racing stripes being pinstripe-bordered despite his toy no longer having it. Whoops.
Bumblebee is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release. This mold was also used to make Movie The Best Laserbeak.
