Transcanning Bumblebee - A (shorter) Review

[roller]

shouldnt it be the 70s car mode? Unless he becomes a protoform again in tf2

He looks heaps better than his Prime counterpart.

Maybe they practised on Prime & put all their refinement into BB.

Thats what I reckon, I think they originally meant to be relased together, but BB got put back.

Reminds me of the 80s Centurions toys - a core human that you could plug on armour and weapons depending on the mission.

They were kinda cool, I used to have the water guy. Loved his under water missile thingo.

That's why i'd like to see the concept continue (albeit one or two figures per line like they did here) as I believe there is potential for it to be something good.

Wot he said.
I consider this series to be a "work in progress" myself.

I used to want the Centurions toys when I was a kid. But they weren't widely available in Hong Kong. :/

I only ever owned this one...

It was pretty cool! I've still got it somewhere... I should look for it

Finally opened my TransScanning BB last night, after receiving it months ago. I also agree it is a better toy compared to Prime. Earth robot mode works better than Prime. Car mode is lovely (with the different shades of yellow much less noticeable when viewing in person). The toy needs a better Earth mode head sculpt as well as a weapon.

That's Max Ray - I have Jake Rockwell, and a couple of his vehicles. And Doc Terror and Hacker, and one of the Strafer Doom Drones that could plug into them. I used to have a Traumatizer Doom Drone as well, but he went missing. I'd love to get another.

Anyone got any Centurions they want to sell me?

[Fungal Infection]

I had several centurions up for sale months ago but had no takers. Since then I've acquired all these:

Actually, this toy reminds me more of Saint Seiya than Centurions. Centurions' bits attached on pretty well thanks to the peg-holes in their bodies, whereas Saint Seiya armour were just clip-ons which were prone to falling off with rigorous action play. :/



I've seen Trans-scanning Bumblebee being sold at an import store for $160-180 I think... doesn't seem worth that price.
