I hate to say it but this is actually pretty fun. It has a real micromaster base feel to it with a lot of legion toy/ playset interaction play value.
Transport mode is nice, tank mode is ok. There are 2 different base modes with only a little difference between the 2.
Bumblebee's jetpack, while a nice addition, isn't really necessary.
Bumblebee as a toy looks good and has an easy transformation.
Can't believe I'm saying this but he is totally worth buying.

A question was asked a while back (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=10927) about the transformation of this figure... not sure if it has been worked out yet or not.
(I won't have this for another week, so can't answer it yet)

As far as i can tell there is nothing to attach the jetpack to the roof of the truck. For my full comment see the above link
