Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Deluxe Bumblebee.

I know its late but its taken me a while to bend my head round Beast Hunters, I originally picked up Wheeljack as I love that mold but something was stirring inside me............yep my lust for dragons was growing. As a kid there was nothing better than a big old T-Rex to make you sit up and take interest so I imagine if the 5 year old version of me had seen Beast Hunters in the store I would be going nuts, its essentially Roadblaster style vehicles Vs Dragons, DRAGONS! DO YOU SEE! this is in fact genius ( I know some of you now question my sanity and judgment but know this, I have flu and am high on Anadin and Lemsip )

Bumblebee is a heavily retooled RID Bumblebee with the new additions being spikes detailing, missile carriers on the door and a new head which is actually really good. Looking like a bot that's been pushed too far, Bumblebee is certainly tooled up for hunting beasts, he not only comes with a firing crossbow which can be mounted on his arm or roof in car mode he also comes with his 2 original blasters. There are 6 rockets in total 4 of which are stored on his rotating door mounts with the other 2 being stored on the crossbow, as well as being projectiles Bumblebee can wield them as spears which is another neat touch.

Car mode evokes a weird custard Batmobile which in itself is cool ( I think ) which freewheels across the floor or desktop with ease. Everything is carried or stored which is nice and the armored aesthetic really makes what was once a plain figure really quite interesting.

Most of us will own the original RID Bumblebee out of completion or loyalty, no one was rushing out to get him as its really rather bland, although not earth shattering the Beast Hunters version is a worthy successor and worth picking up if you have some spare cash........but I do mean spare.

Beast Hunters Bumblebee scores 7.5/10
