I'm suprised at how different Bumblebee is to the other uses of this framework. The shell and the subdivision of parts is wholly unique and as others have said - a pretty definitive modern Bumblebee.

OK, wow - Kyle's nailed it. This guy really is a 'mini-Masterpiece' - really similar to the 1st MP Bumblebee only with a bit of partsforming and a little less articulation, but also better proportions and just about perfect size.
The only disappointing bits are that the weapons could have done with more uniform ski-part tab sizes (on the sides and front/back) to allow for greater weapon variation given how they've used the same base mold and bazooka a few times over, and that it's a major missed opportunity not to have the weapon and backpack set up so you could make a helicopter backpack for 'Bee out of the parts - it would have been a great nod to the Action Master 'Bee, and would have only required two slots in the little black bazooka piece and a 5mm hole in the main figure's backpack.
Totally agree with this. Great little toy, but the gun doesn't suit at all. At best, I used the balk thing as his "explosive older thing" And I agree with Odey there that a bit of change to give him a Jetpack look, or maybe an underwater kinda thing going on would've made this a real winner.
As it is though, I like him. very nice little vehicle mode, noce pose-able robot mode and good overall fee to the little guy.
His face looks remarkably serious though. I would've liked a bit of a smile to him, but as for my head canon, he is the more mature Bumblebee who has ranked up and is a possible Prime candidate.
