I really liked the first Movie's Camaro Concept Deluxe figure and that would remain as my favourite and definitive Movie Bumblebee. I was disappointed with all the subsequent Bumblebee molds as I think they look ugly and proportions are off (yes, including Battle Blades Bumblebee).
However, I got this version and I really like him, he has his flaws but I think he looks good and has unobstrusive yet meaningful gimmicks. The integrated flip out cannon and flip down battle mask is really cool and both looks great. The other thing that won me over is that the designers finally took a fresh attempt at transforming Bumblebee's legs. He doesn't retain the same leg automorph transformation of the original and I dig the new engineering.
The faux chest is a disappointment and looks somewhat stupid, it doesn't even look like it is the hood morphed. Car mode has way too many panel cracks and they don't sit flush. Probably as a cost-cutting measure but they have used huge chunks of transparent plastic which requires it to be painted over, hence the obvious mismatch of colouring. Overall, I think this is still a decent figure and worthy of a purchase.
