Yes, this toy is called "Bumblebee/B-127." That's what it says on the box, don't at me.

Bumblebee has a removable breastplate which reveals a transformation cog underneath. This is a neat reference to SPOILER EMBARGO DATE: 13/9.

OVERALL: After the disappointment of Prime Changer Alpha Trion (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php/30002-Toy-Review-ALPHA-TRION-(Prime-Changer)) and Sentinel Prime (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php/30003-Toy-Review-SENTINEL-PRIME-(Prime-Changer)), I had low expectations for Bumblebee, but I find that he's better than I expected. The main criticism that I have of this toy is the massively hollow legs. Better than I thought, but still just a place holder for me until Studio Series produces a TF One Bumblebee toy.
