It boggles my mind that this - like the Netflix Soundwave - is being released as a relatively hard to get exclusive. This is the definitive ‘chug’ toy of a very popular character and why they would bother to get the VW license just to not...use it? That’s weird.

Happy I tracked one down. Like Cliffjumper, it’s got a real premium feel to it and puts the paint/plastic matching of other Bumblebees absolutely to shame.

While the parts forming is a shame, at least it lets you replicate either of his more common g1 robot depictions.
