I remember the episode City of Steel, where Optimus has been rebuilt (minus an arm), and he bends down to hug Bumblebee... that image above of him standing next to MP-10 reminds me of that episode, and think it will be a good cartoon (and original toy) scale.Quote:

Packed in with a similar sized exosuit makes it equal up to the value of the other Autobot cars, and I'm really excited to get these.
City of Steel :D i thought i'd forgotten about that :p but yes, Bumblebee was tiny.
The transforming exosuit is worth it alone for collectabilityQuote:

Hmmm this one looks nice too. How much is it supposed to retail for?Quote:

Their items were very expensive, so this would have been the only one I would have bought.
(I didn't realise that they went bankrupt, because recent figures like Alpha Trion look very similar to CM's Headmaster humans in terms of sculpting, to me at least.)
or the episode where they were brainwashed while in the recharging chambers - one shot left of the fix, so bumblebee had to go in against a rampaging optimus.Quote:
