Pros:
+ Sports clear windows for the car mode
+ Aesthetic design is edging further towards the "evergreen" look for Bumblebee
+ Gun design is an homage to G1 Bumblebee's Cybertronian mode
+ There are two connection points on the car mode for the gun to connect with (hooray for options)

Cons:
- two shades of mismatching yellow; although by Hasbro standards it's not too bad
- no waist articulation
- lack of heel spurs can make the robot mode prone to falling backwards; although the feet can be adjusted to compensate
- the car's canopy section has very little clearance with Bumblebee's robot back, meaning that it can snap off. Thankfully the canopy is far more firmly attached on my Bumblebee compared to the Hasbro sample that I messed around with last October. Tip: raise both legs and keep the canopy hinge swung down when folding the collapsed canopy into his back.

Overall:
Objectively speaking, this is a fairly sub-par Deluxe Class figure, and at a higher price point it's difficult to say that it's really worth buying at full quid. Recommended if cheap.
