Toys

"Animated"

• Bumblebee (Deluxe, 2008)

The whole world wants his stingers not to stick out.

• Bumblebee (Deluxe, 2008)

The two halves of his stinger weapon, stored in his forearms, can be flipped out and pegged together.

Due to support struts added inside his forearms to ensure durability, his stingers do not recede all the way back into his arms. There have also been some complaints that the socket in his left arm tends to crack easily, which makes the arm impossible to pose.

• • Bumper Battlers Bumblebee (Bumper Battlers, 2008)

This version of Bumblebee includes one slitely moving stinger.

• Elite Guard Bumblebee (Deluxe, 2008)

OK, the stingers don't stick out anymore, so everyone's happy now right?

He retains all the play-gimmicks of the original, and his arm has been remolded to allow the stingers to recede fully.
