Well it does look good

Well, now that Toys R Us is gone, I’m pretty sure Target will become the “ultimate destination for toys” anyway. Still weird knowing that TRU is gone and there won’t be any fantastic toy sales this Christmas. On a much lighter note, this Bumblebee really looks good so it’s not a bad choice. Kind of funny that the kid figures in this line look like there was more effort put into them than the entire Cyberverse line.
Chaos Muffin
Cant wait to get him for my 5yr old girl. Even car mode will look nice on her dresser.
Terrellatron
I want it but the only thing keeping me from getting him is the spark sticking out of his chest
Digger
I’m not surprised honestly. This figure looks wonderful for a big gimmick toy. I really wanna get it. The legs are particularly impressive with how well they compact.
Digger
I think you could just paint it up and you wouldn’t really notice.
Runamuck86
I agree with the others that think the proportions on this bee look better .
i just wish it didnt have the enormous blue blob in the middle of his chest .
Applejacktimus
I'm particularly impressed that this thing somehow managed to get the tail lights on his heels. I was sure that'd be the new "sub-wings" for this design in that not a single figure would get it right for years. And here we are, with the tail lights already on his heels only two figures in. Hats off to whoever designed this boi, you know they'd have made him a pseudo-Masterpiece if they weren't limited by the gimmicks. (not that he's even hindered by that at all)
Furnace
I really like how the lower legs transform on this guy, especially how the wheels fold into the shins!
Repainted
Hopefully they're not still trying to sell him in Ross and Burlington stores at this time a year from now for a fraction of the intended price like RC Sqweeks.
SilverOptimus
If they only made the doors fold away in the back (also a way to hide the power charge gimmick – like an attachable hood), this is a great representation of the onscreen character.
Music
Agreed. The proportions are far better on the Power Charge than on the SS. For a gimmick toy, the kibble is pretty well incorporated too.
SPLIT LIP
One of the few times I actually believe these lists.
Hell, this figure does some things better than the SS figure.
SilverOptimus
I actually like Power Charge Bumblebee more than the Studio Series one we got. Will you look at that: a gimmick toy outsmarting a mainline one.
