I loved that other Transformers Robots in Disguise Drift so much, that I couldn't resist this plucky looking Bumblebee for a companion, on the advice of a fellow, more experienced Transformers enthusiast. Like I said before, my recent interest in these was a natural evolution- a long-time comics/action figure enthusiast, I started a Hot Wheels blog last year, and here we are. Check out my video:
Some may find this line of Transformers too simple in their transformation and too stylized, but I their articulation is great! I haven't seen much of the new animated series these are based on, but I am currently watching episodes of Transformers Prime on Netflix currently, which seems much better, cast with a more sidekick-status Bumblebee. I like Bumblebee as the Volkswagen Bug, but the modern interpretations have their appeal- I liked the recent motion picture treatment of the character.

More Later- Make It FUN!
Ya this new line isn't getting much love from the fans, most are into the Combiner wars line. I on the other hand absolutely LOVE the aesthetics of this line, I have BB and Strongarms right now. I am holding off for a voyager class Grimlock since the warrior sized one seems too small. I usually like collecting the main cast only, but I haven't had time to catch up with the RID show yet so I don't even know who's in it lol
ReplyDeleteI was resistant to buy any RID figures too, but after buying Optimus I'm hooked. Although I'm buying the Japanese Adventure series in most cases. Got Sideswipe and Jazz on pre-order now.
