Kapow! Toys Presents : ROTF Battleblade Bumblebee

[rich32169]

dude that is awesome i want that toy.

[TRUEMEXICAN23]

hey yuo gat the sim bumbeel

[Kapowtoys]

@TRUEMEXICAN23

Yes I do! 

[demonbungle]

the kapow site is down :(

[Kapowtoys]

@demonbungle

Probably just having maintence work, but thanks for letting me know. I'll fire a message off to the boss.

[OverlordLS]

probably like fifty toys later... And we finally get a stupendous Movie Bee mold. Shame about the reversed axe, but w/e, it's a tiny negative. This guy is gold. And unlike other gems in the line (I'm looking at you Terradive) I had no trouble finding him.

[Kapowtoys]

@OverlordLS

It'll be interesting to see if they go with a completely new mold for TF3 or retool this guy.

[AgentJuly19903]

@Kapowtoys Yes it's completely new. It kinda looks great, but a little bit bulky on the top.

[luisifuge]

i beliebe its the coolest movie bumblebee

[Kapowtoys]

@luisifuge

Have to agree

[TheRodimusMinor]

i think this one and the rotf preview one are the best

[Kapowtoys]

@TheRodimusMinor

Never got my hands on that one.

[estekado]

awesome!! you're right, this is the best BBB figure =D! i'm gonna buy him =)

[Kapowtoys]

@estekado

Excellent! That's what I like to hear. 

[arkitotoyz]

I totally agree with you on this review... I'm really impressed with this bbee. You'll have too much features for a figure this size and price.

[Kapowtoys]

@arkitotoyz

Thank you very much! I've just him next to the new leader Prime and they look awesome!

[arkitotoyz]

@Kapowtoys

Really? The one with the battle hooks and some battle damage? Do you think it's worth the money even though I already have the LC ROTF Prime? Well I'm still looking forward to see your review on the HFTD LC Prime...

[Kapowtoys]

@arkitotoyz

The battle damage on everywhere but the face is brilliant, unfortunately the face paint apps are a little less detailed. That said, nothing a couple of Sharpies won't sort out. I'll get a review done of him soon, just need to get a camera big enough!

[arkitotoyz]

@Kapowtoys

LOL, yeah, you'll need a bigger camera on leader class figures...

I agree, I'll wait for your review before I decide to buy that figure. Are you also planning to review the new hftd voyager prime? I just got him last week. I think he is awesome for a voyager size figure.

[Kapowtoys]

@arkitotoyz

I had a good look at him at AA and I'm very impressed with what they managed to do.

[scar12x9]

i saw about 20 of these at my locak target man i cant wait to get one, it was messed up cause i didnt know they were out so i didnt have my money at the time :( ut i will be getting him as soon as i can!!

great revew this is gana be my fav bumblebee

[Kapowtoys]

@scar12x9

I hope you love him as much as I do!

[cybertron1000s]

When is this gonna be out in Canada

[Kapowtoys]

@cybertron1000s

Should be anytime now. Sightings of Generations wave 1 are coming up so these can't be too far behind.

[berkaydavulcu11]

@cybertron1000s there out now at you're local walmart and toys r us :)

[PrimalFlash202b]

what i like about this figure is they went to the extra length of detailing the red chevy logo and it actually says camaro like the real car on the side of it and wheel detailing i love this toy

[Kapowtoys]

@PrimalFlash202b

The amount of time and attention given to him is immense. Hasbro really went all out.

[PrimalFlash202b]

@Kapowtoys itwas not even two minutes after posting that first comment when irealized they didn't do something on this toy that they did do on at least the battle damage bb toy from the first movie the rear chevy logo and license plate

[TheMrsofakingfresh]

are you by any chance simon cowell lol

[Kapowtoys]

@TheMrsofakingfresh

Yes, yes I am.

[Wifbic]

i think the shoulder cannon is the best

[Kapowtoys]

@Wifbic

The one from ROTF? Never got my hands on it unfortunately.

[Wifbic]

@Kapowtoys yea i have and hes pretty cool

[goriverde2]

@Wifbic i had and it's great in car mode , in robot mode it great when the cannons are on top

[trans655]

awsome review

[Kapowtoys]

@trans655

Cheers dude!

[shredBucketheadshred]

movie accurate!?!??!???!?! ARE YOU KIDDING? THE first MOLD IS CLOSER tho VERY FAR OFF!

[Kapowtoys]

@shredBucketheadshred

Yep, just joking around.

[pikaprime125]

@shredBucketheadshred ur kidding right? the first one is crap compared to this!

[trans655]

at 5:11 bumble bee says look at me im the karatie kid

[Kapowtoys]

@trans655

Ah, Bumble-san...

[hthvjd]

You have valid complaints but also adding to what you already said, his mid-section/hips are just too bare not to mention it's missing the license plate, the back-end of his car boot still just hang off his back legs like big boxes, and AND no shoulder mounted artillery. Shoulder cannons would've been the bee's knees!

[Kapowtoys]

@hthvjd

License plate, forgot about that one! Good shout. Cannons would have been nice but they have to leave something that they can improve upon for the next one!

[hthvjd]

@Kapowtoys Ah, good point

[megatron276]

I AM a customizer i picked up two and one i made a cliffjumper repaint

[Kapowtoys]

@megatron276

Sweet! If you put images up let me know!

[theClayman2010]

I'm getting him today

[Kapowtoys]

@theClayman2010

Enjoy!!!!

[mudflap36]

awsome review!!! do u know if hes out in stores yet?

[Kapowtoys]

@mudflap36

He is indeed. Might take some time to filter through to all stores.

[theingles1]

the arms look skinny next the huge arm guards the good thing is hasbro learned alot from human alliance bumblebee

[Kapowtoys]

@theingles1

They just get better and better to be honest.

[yametae]

This is awesome!i just got it from toysrus.

[Kapowtoys]

@yametae

Woot! So glad you guys are getting these now!

[toychronicles]

I just got this yesterday and WFC Bumblebee. I really like BB.

Visit my channel and subscribe.

[Kapowtoys]

@toychronicles

Awesome stuff! Glad you like them!

[jovanprime]

cool ishall buy that

[Kapowtoys]

@jovanprime

This is what I want to hear!

[RockonTF]

ok i'm geting this dude when he comes out!

[Kapowtoys]

@RockonTF

Excellent!

[AgentJuly19903]

Wow, I'm impressed. Nice review!

[Kapowtoys]

@AgentJuly19903

Thanks buddy!

[Rachamacha]

I sort of noticed that hasbro made the same mistake of using that dark plastic for the non yellow parts. A lighter greyish colour would have been nicer

[Kapowtoys]

@Rachamacha

They seem to have a bulk of two colours of grey plastic that they are using for everything.

[kaizer3000]

Erm..you are supposed to rotate those yellow panels on the thigh all the way to the front

[kaizer3000]

@kaizer3000 It is supposed to resemble movie Bumblebee after all...(refer to HA BumbleBee or official Bumblebee posters or pics if you dont get what i mean...)

[Kapowtoys]

@kaizer3000

Yeah, I know I made a mistake with this one, especially on the hip panels. I've got them swivelled to the side now. They do go to the front but they look damn ugly and out of place there.

[RuneHeroesBase]

battle mask!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kapowtoys]

@RuneHeroesBase

FTW

[MrTransformersrock]

is it a deluxe?

[Kapowtoys]

@MrTransformersrock

Is indeed.

[9mandazi9]

@Kapowtoys i love this bumblebee! cause how they put HA details to a deluxe bumblebee figure.

[Kapowtoys]

@9mandazi9

It's a top notch piece of design work.

[Cdude97]

when does it come out ???? i barelly buy tranformer toys anymore but i <3 bumblebee and dis 1 is great

[Kapowtoys]

@Cdude97

Retailer's sample, though this wave has been sighted in the US and is supposedly hitting everywhere soon!

[Zeak53]

actually as of late 2009 the Chevy Camero became a real car not aconcept. they are available for purchase and are actually very nice car

[Kapowtoys]

@Zeak53

Lovely looking things aren't they? My podcast co-host lives in the US and one of the Bumblebee edition ones is just down the street from her.

[9mandazi9]

@Kapowtoys O--M--G (eyes wide open and jaw reaches the ground), form where did you get it?

[Zeak53]

@Kapowtoys Yes i love them. I like them much more with the body kits on them, it makes them look much more powerful and sporty. My dad and i went and test drove one. On the inside its like there isn't even an engine running, it's so smooth and quiet. i really hope i can get one soon. I'm getting my driving test at the end of this school year.

[scar12x9]

this bumble bee is awsome im so gana get it it worth any money it being bargin for

[Kapowtoys]

@scar12x9

It's the best one so far!

[yami926B]

I think H.A. Bee is better personaly (after the popular leg mod) , this seems to have a similar transformation.

[Kapowtoys]

@yami926B

This is more in scale. I was impressed with HA 'Bee, but felt it suffered a little for having to involve Sam. Great toy though.

[yami926B]

@Kapowtoys i agree, the HA gimmiks suck but HA bee looks rlly good next to leader prime (scale wise). I think both figures suffer from a lack of torso when viewed from any angle other than the front, so im still hoping for a TF3 bee to be even better :D

[SaxoRocks]

The best movie Bumblebee I've ever seen lolz! He's got a removable mask, a cannon that can be removed to show his hand(unlike the previous ROTF one) and a nice Battle Axe! This Bee sure beats the upcoming Battle Ops Bee as this Bee is IN SCALE, think of having a Battle Ops Bee that's as big as Prime, it's definitely not a nice choice. I'M SO GONNA GET THIS BUMBLEBEE!!!

[Kapowtoys]

@SaxoRocks

Battle Ops 'Bee looks good for what it is but not at the price point. This guy delivers much better value for money.

[Vachidra]

Is his axe weapon backwards? seems like the bigger blade should face forward.

[Kapowtoys]

@Vachidra

Yeah it kind of looks that way. You might be able to pop it out and turn it round.

[Vachidra]

@Kapowtoys It's possible to fix it then? oh good, almost every picture I've seen of this figure has it backwards, I was hoping it was fixable.

[Kapowtoys]

@Vachidra

Hmm, looking at it, I think it would take some serious modding to do. Other alternative is to swap the two arm guards round but that would put his cannon on the wrong side.

[Vachidra]

@Kapowtoys Damn, I was afraid of that, what holds it in? a screw? or something else?

[Kapowtoys]

@Vachidra

It's a screw set into a molded recess in the plastic.

[LHeirReject32D]

i know that from wave one at least, i'll be gettin all of the generations figures, plus battlebladebumblebee.

[Kapowtoys]

@LHeirReject32D

The waves will get better and better as well! WFC Megatron and Soundwave, Red Alert, Blurr, Darkmount! All kinds of awesome!

[BioformerCorviz]

i wish they could've made bumblebee's cannon arm fold into a hand somehow, maybe the hand folds up before the cannon flips out (in human alliance)

only one downside to this guy in my opinion

his arm guards come out a bit too far (barely a bother)

[BioformerCorviz]

oh my god

my dream come true

a mini human alliance bumblebee!

WITHOUT STUPID HUMAN ALLIANCE FEATURES OR STUPID SAM FIGURE!

[Kapowtoys]

@BioformerCorviz

Lol So you'll be getting one then?

[BioformerCorviz]

@Kapowtoys gimme a month to accummulate 14 bucks

but yeah

[EXultimate]

Yeah, I can tell he's not a movie fan. Otherwise, he would have taken the "flaps" on his legs and flipped them out to cover the front. Also, he didn't close the arm amour after taking out the gun. Other than those things, great review.

[Kapowtoys]

@EXultimate

If you check out the update vid I've sorted the cannon on that one. The flaps on the side can fold to the front but they really stick out of the sides and look dumb! lol

Thanks for watching.

[Slimshadow457]

Do you have other Movie Bubmlebees? If you do, can you say it's the BEST BB?

[Kapowtoys]

@Slimshadow457

I don't own them (anymore) but having had a couple and played with a few others I would definately say this is the most movie accurate and most attractive piece.

[Slimshadow457]

@Kapowtoys Okay, thanks! :)

[Elliotc2891]

almost perfect . . Very impressed indeed sir and another cracking review :D

[Kapowtoys]

@Elliotc2891

Very kind of you to say so sir!

[maxustech12]

he kinda looks like his human alliance figure but still nice deuixe bumblebee the others

[Kapowtoys]

@maxustech12

There is a lot of Human Alliance styling to him, but in a smaller package lol!

[BigTransFan]

glad i held off of bumblebee :) he shall be my first BB

[Kapowtoys]

@BigTransFan

:) He has been worth the weight. I can't stop fiddling with mine!

[yyyy2999]

@Kapowtoys dont you feel like there should be rubber wheels? and the paint should be glossy, that'll be cool

[Kapowtoys]

@yyyy2999

I'd love rubber tires on these guys, but at the same time I'd love diecast parts to. Unfortunately it'd put the price point through the roof.

[CSpray717]

Very nice..I so need to get this one to add to my pile of BB molds..lol He looks really nice with all the accessories .

Nice review and I subbed. Liked!

[Kapowtoys]

@CSpray717

Thanks dude! You'll be pushing your pile of 'Bees into storage when you get this guy! Thanks for subbing!

[Kapowtoys]

@taingsto

Completely agree. They've nailed this one!

[Kapowtoys]

@punisherprime55

Yep, without the areas to fit in with Sam. And less than half the price.

[m3vInXCyBeR]

well we need to see how it transform but WTF transforming cannon !!!! im Gonna buy this GuY very m0vie accurate!!

[Kapowtoys]

@m3vInXCyBeR

I've succumbed to the pressure and there will be a transformation video recorded and hopefully uploaded tomorrow!

[OptimusMagnus4]

HOLY CRAP! That toy looks AMAZING! I must go out and pre-order it NOW!

[Kapowtoys]

@OptimusMagnus4

DO IT!!!

[ReverendSyn]

5:18 - Im sorry.

First thing that came to mind was "I Fart in your general direction!"

[Kapowtoys]

@ReverendSyn

Did I call someone an English Kinigit?

[Sprocketman]

Well crap, I wish I would have known about this guy before I bought the first one, the Stealth one, the Premium one, the Revenge of the Fallen Preview one, and the Cannon one! Makes 'em all look naff by comparison, doesn't it?

[Kapowtoys]

@Sprocketman

Lol that's the problem with it, where do you stop. I can't recommend this one highly enough tbh. It does everything you'd want a movie 'Bee to do and at a deluxe price point.

[Sprocketman]

@Kapowtoys Yeah, this'll probably be my last Deluxe Bumblebee.

...until the next one.

[Kapowtoys]

@Sprocketman

This will be the last one. Till the 3rd movie. I think.

[amartinez97]

Will you get the leader class optimus and starscream though? you never said you disliked ALL of them jsut most and those 2 are the BEST figures of the line (and this figure) i dont think you would be disapointed they would surprise as much or more then this figure.

[Kapowtoys]

@amartinez97

I will definately be looking into them now. I'm so impressed with this guy that I'm going to have a closer look at some of the rest of the range. Main problem is that a Leader Class figure in the UK is £45 which is a heck of a hit. I have heard so many good things about Prime though...

[theprimo100]

*bell rings for math class, bye!

[Kapowtoys]

@theprimo100

Lol don't be late!

[theprimo100]

@Kapowtoys ive been home 4 hrs now!

[prudentdragoon]

well of course the arm cannon looks messy when you have it improperly transformed.

[Kapowtoys]

@prudentdragoon

You are indeed correct and it'll rectified in the upcoming video where I cover all the things I cocked up. The joy of instructions eh?

[UltimateGamer1690]

i cant wait to see how hasbro will try and to this figure

[Kapowtoys]

@UltimateGamer1690

Knowing Hasbro.... lol

[ReverendSyn]

I rather like the movie toys.

Can you close the panels of his right arm with the blaster out?

[Kapowtoys]

@ReverendSyn

I've just had a tinker with it and yes you can! It looks much better to. A quick paint and it'll look the part! Consider it part of the update video!

[ReverendSyn]

Id pretend that with the blades undeployed, that the arm gauntlets could be wrist mounted blasters.

[gavinfuzzy]

Damn... i nid the HA one just for sam XD... but ill still buy this

[Kapowtoys]

@gavinfuzzy

Lol The joys of Transformer collecting! I had to buy an Animated Prowl, even though I knew the Samurai Prowl was coming out, just so I could have the throwing stars.

[p8ntballerking007]

meh, pass ill stick to my human alliance one (:

[Kapowtoys]

@p8ntballerking007

lol fair enough! I never got my hands on HA 'Bee, but I loved the Alternators line and he reminded me a lot of those.

[Deathsaurus1989]

hey acurate rims, thats a first.

this is exactly what i thought hasbro would do

crap forever and ever then this godly perfect masterpiece of heaven

takara did it.

[Kapowtoys]

@Deathsaurus1989

lol Summed up so perfectly sir!

[TheBillStickers]

Every word... RIGHT ON!!!

[Kapowtoys]

@TheBillStickers

Cheers buddy!

[thenames9]

Very nice review! By the way, are you Red Leader from the TFW boards? I'm the Thenames9 on TFW.

[Kapowtoys]

@thenames9

The reviewer isn't, the boss is lol he keeps an eye on the place to!

[loralli08]

@Kapowtoys

could you please show the transformation

[Kapowtoys]

@loralli08

Thanks for asking! We decided not to show transformations on camera to keep the reviews as spoiler free as possible, the only part of the toy you never get to see until it is in hand is the transformation after all. That said, I did say that if enough people asked we would review the situation so I may do an update if the demand is high enough.

[piplup2009]

are you red leader on tfw2005 (if you are i'm baggzey)

[Kapowtoys]

@piplup2009

Posted on your page! (I'm not, he's the boss!)

[Kapowtoys]

@piplup2009 yes mate, well I am , Matt is King Grimmy :) how are ya

[night00glider]

are u sure the tire at the back of the shoulder are not the cannon ???

[Kapowtoys]

@night00glider

They've got gear sculpting on the inside, could look like cannons!

[night00glider]

@Kapowtoys if u paint it black and it would look like cannon ???

Okay, Now I want to throw away all my BB to garbage can and pick up this one =D

[Kapowtoys]

@night00glider

Paint it up and pick out the details in silver then yes it probably would! When you do it, make sure to send some images to us!

[night00glider]

@Kapowtoys hahahaha okay :-P

[timanator2x]

cant wat to get this guy eh when does he come out

[Kapowtoys]

@timanator2x

August is the projected release date but hopefully sooner rather than later!

[timanator2x]

@Kapowtoys thx he looks awsome

[SimonatMac]

I guess I´ll send you an order for this BB too...

[Kapowtoys]

@SimonatMac

And we thank you for it! You won't be disappointed.

[SimonatMac]

@Kapowtoys ;-)

[Wadeledge]

I like this Bumblebee more than the original mold enough to want to pick him up as a replacement, but I'm worried that they'll tweak and update the mold for Transformers 3.

[Kapowtoys]

@Wadeledge

I imagine it'll be a whole new mold for TF3. This guy should be with us August or earlier so it'll be the best part of 8 months before the toys for 3 starting hitting the shelves. Appreciated your concern though, with Hasbro's track record!

[monstercamaro]

SHIT ! he gotta b my 5th movie BB~~

[Kapowtoys]

@monstercamaro

Do it!

[MegabyteUnleashed]

His face looks like Mickey Mouse wearing a metal mask. It's rather odd. Nice to see the deployable mask, and Hasbro have actually made a 2 handed Bee with a deployable cannon? Oh my, wonders never cease!

[Kapowtoys]

@MegabyteUnleashed

Yes, I know, Hasbro can make a decent Movie 'Bee! Won't be able to stop singing M-I-C,K-E-Y... now...

[zerokaiser85]

Whilst he may be a character that has, without a doubt, been done to DEATH.. I am quite eager to pick this guy up. For the longest time I thought I'd be happy with my TF1 '09 Concept Camaro BB.. but this seems to improve on everything I disliked about it. As for your comment about details left unpainted that a customizer could go to town on.. I for one will be going over mine with a fine detail brush as soon as I get my hands on it!! Great review once again man!

[Kapowtoys]

@zerokaiser85

Thanks buddy! Make sure you send us the pictures when you've got him painted up, really be good to see them!

[zerokaiser85]

@Kapowtoys - Will do mate! :)

a shame as you said on the forum that not many people will be interested in this despite it being bett
