Title:
Bumblebee Weaponizer
Description:
Bumblebee (Weaponizer, 2012)
Series / Number: 1 / 002
Japanese release date: 2012-11-30
Accessories: Blaster pistol (Hasbro & Takara), "B.B. A” Arms Micron (TakaraTomy only)
Part of the first wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise Weaponizer Class toys, Bumblebee is a large, roughly Leader-sized mold with a simplified transformation scheme, more accurate proportions, and a grand total of four fake wheels on his person due to said transformation. He comes with a double-barreled blaster pistol which can mount onto his hands, forearms, and trunk.
His main gimmicks, however, are the two large mini-guns hidden in his hood-chest, which can deploy and "weaponize” either mode. When his robot head/engine block is pressed down, the mini-guns swing out from his hood-chest and spin, while a red LED inside his torso lights up briefly. Pushing on the gray lever/the center front fender portion (both on his chest) briefly lights up the LED again and swings the mini-guns back into his body.
His stock photography (& his commercial appearance) gives him a completely different vehicle deco compared to the final product, with the final toy having fewer paint operations overall. The final product lacks the stripe patterns between the front wheels and doors due to that patch being made of unpaintable plastic, shrinks the stripes on the hood, tapers the door stripes towards the front and extends it towards the rear wheels, rearranges the stripes on the trunk, roof, and behind the engine block, shrinks the Autobot symbol on the roof, and moves said symbol to the front of the hood. The hood stripes, in particular, have been significantly shrunk into what are essentially pinstripes.
A running change variant of this figure features much thicker stripes on his hood-chest.
The Japanese release, dubbed Gatling Bumblebee, sports metallic gold paint on most of his yellow plastic, and some sliver details. He comes with a gray version of his Arms Micron, B.B..
