Toy Review : AOE High Octane Bumblebee

Bumblebee is my next favorite character after Optimus Prime. 

Let's revisit yet another Bumblebee, this time the High Octane Bumblebee from the "Age of Extinction" movie series. Since no one is interested in this piece, might as well un-MISB it for another quick review. Toys are meant to be played or sold... haha...

Nowadays, it's all about vlogs or YouTube reviews. Blogging is old school but then again, I'm pretty old school too. So, just bear with it...

(front and back of the card/box)

What's included :

Bumblebee figure, 1 missile, instructions (that's all, folks!)

We shall arm Bumblebee now...

Just slot the missile into his blaster

View from the side

View from the back

Now, to transform him from robot to his classic Camaro mode (vehicle / alternate mode)... just Google or YouTube if you want to learn the exact steps, easier that way too.. haha... 

Super-charged Camaro mode from all angles : he is still a Chevrolet Camaro, only this time a '67 SS (hence, the letters "SS" on the front side of car)

Matte black body with clear plastic windows





this is how you store his missile

... and back to his robot mode (just reverse the steps)... 

Battle mode as he is ready to face the Decepticons!




Side-by-side with DOTM Cyberfire Bumblebee : both are termed deluxe-sized, yet AOE Bumblebee is slightly smaller (figure shrank in size but increased in price!)


... and for him to finally join his brothers, back to where he belongs...

I am home!

A nice piece overall, nothing fanciful... what do you expect from a Bumblebee?

NOTE : anyone out there interested in this piece, please get in touch with me. Till then, till all are one...
