TJ Reviews: Jetpack Bumblebee (Hydrodive)

Get your own here: http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT38076

The final new mold produced for Animated... it was a great run, wasn't it? For a long time we didn't think this toy would get released, but thankfully Takara got around to it. Conceived as a better-sized version of Bumblebee, it includes a big blue thing, too! But does that alone make it worth importing?

im pretty sure they made this inthe US

[TJOmega]

@wtfd00d08 Nope. Totally unreleased.

Wait I thought Hasbro made it the Figure & Mold it's just Takara is the only one that released it?

[TJOmega]

@Ojunix Hasbro does the basic design work and color choices, Takara tweeks it to work in a toy and engineers it, so they make the mold. It's a collaboration and technically, Transformers is still licensed by Hasbro from Takara, so it's Takara's toyline. Hasbro would love to release it, too, but retailers dont want Animated toys anymore, and since the deluxes at TRU are clogging now, they wont take them, either.

Something I don't get: What is it supposed to be? I mean, if the show kept going would he have used it at some point? Or is it just supposed to look cool?

[TJOmega]

@Strife159Highloch I think the belief was an episode would have revolved around an underwater salvage mission, probably an AllSpark fragment. It was confirmed they planned to use it in the show if they had gotten another season.

@yugisr ...I've been using a black backdrop for a year now, it shows the toy best, and I'm not using subtitles, how in any way am I ripping off anyone?! It's a review, there's only so many ways it can be done.

Gold bug

[daveh013]

I wouldn't mind having the base figure. I really never liked the add on pack.

I don't think Has/Tak has done that right since Energon.

[sanleunam]
