Transformers Ultimate Bumblebee

He’s big, he’s bad, he’s the guardian of ladysman217, and he’s one of the very best toys for boys.  Meet Transformers Ultimate Bumblebee, Autobots’ guardian warrior.  This guy is really scary- mind your manners and don’t get on his bad side.  He keeps the bad guys in their places and stays busy fending off the evil Decepticons, and he is a true, loyal friend to his human buddies.

Transformers Ultimate Bumblebee reviews are calling him one of the top toys of 2008, and kids tend to agree with this statement.  And if you don’t agree, Bumblebee just might let you have a little taste of his plasma cannons!  He means business, but kids seem to love him anyway.

Bumblebee comes to your child straight out of the recent Transformers movie, and he’s one of the main characters, sent to protect Sam Witwicky, Keeper of the Coordinates to Locate the Allspark.  Transformers Ultimate Bumblebee is a fierce protector, and can keep the scary nighttime shadows firmly in their places. When in car form, Bumblebee is a cherry 2008 Chevy Camaro, painted a shiny yellow color with black racing stripes.  He’s quite cheeky for a car and has a personality all his own.  When transformed into his robot state, he’s an impressive fourteen inches tall and very intimidating.  At least that’s what one Transformers Ultimate Bumblebee review had to say about it.  His design is very detailed, and you can see all his facial features and he has a very detailed hand on one side and a weapon on the end of his other arm that looks just like his gun from the movie.

Several Transformers Ultimate Bumblebee reviews rave about the toy’s animatronic capabilities.  Kids can push a button on the transformed robot, and he comes to life, moving his arms and legs. He’ll even move his head from side to side. He makes battle sounds and can even talk- he knows seventeen different phrases that he can fire off at will.  As a car, Bumblebee will roll on both carpet and hard surfaces. With all these features, Bumblebee may very well be one of the best toys of 2008.

Parents or family members who want to buy Transformers Ultimate Bumblebee for a child should be sure to stock up on batteries as well, because the toy will likely get lots of use and batteries only last so long.  Bumblebee is intended for children age five and up, but even adults are buying him as a model and collector’s item.  He can be left in either car or robot mode for long periods of time without losing any of the strength in his realistic articulated joints.

One feature that is sure to make Bumblebee one of the best toys of 2008 is his voice detection capability.  When he hears a noise or a voice, he can turn toward the noise and even respond to it in true Autobot fashion.  One Transformers Ultimate Bumblebee review expressed surprise at the robot’s unusual musical inclination.  He can play his own song to go along with his robot dance- Devo’s “Whip It”.

Bumblebee’s durable design and tough moving parts are sturdy enough to last through thousands of transformations, which is a good thing because boys will transform him from car to robot and back again many, many times.  This is one of the best toys for boys because boys love cars, they love robots, and they seem to be big fans of the Transformers movie as well.  With so many Transformers fans out there, this guy is sure to be one of the top toys of 2008.

    This toy is not for children. My son (7) has had this toy since it came out and still can’t transform it. It is very difficult to transform even for an adult and therefore in my opinion it is not worth the $80 you spend on it. If you are a religious person you will loose your religion over this “toy”.
