Product Description
BUMBLEBEE and Sam were best friends almost from the moment they first met face to face. As they learned more about one another, that connection grew deeper and deeper. Now, whether Sam is behind the wheel, or standing side by side with his friend, they work together as a team. Against BUMBLEBEE and his human friend, no DECEPTICON* stands a chance.

Transformers Human Alliance – Bumblebee with Sam
{ 5 comments… read them below or add one }
Bumblebee is arguably the most popular Transformer behind Optimus Prime. Even Megatron (at least these days) doesn’t hold a candle. We’ve seen many different versions of this Autobot so how does this one stand up? **Note: This is NOT the deluxe version of Bumble that sells for less than ten bucks. This is the Human Alliance Bumblebee – an altogether bigger and higher quality toy. **
For Kids:
In either robot or vehicle mode this is a quality toy with lots of detail and fun to play with. The inclusion of the Sam Witwicky action figure is a bonus for kids as well. I’m far from a kid (on the outside) these days but I remember loving the G1 transformers and the little action figure you could put inside – pretending you’re that little guy with a big robot pal. The human factor is often forgotten these days. The main downside for kids is that the transformation is hard and like many of these movie transformers there are probably many kids who wouldn’t have the patience for it.
For Adults:
Again, this is a bigger more detailed version. The car is top notch and while the interior could have more detail that it has an interior at all is a bonus considering that’s a first for this line. This human alliance Bumblebee is almost twice the size of the deluxe version and a lot of that additional detail shows in the clear windows and seats, steering wheel and interior of the car.
In robot mode, words may not be able to describe it (I’ll try to have some pics up). There is so much detail in this guy that I’d compare to the new Leader Class Optimus Prime as far as screen accuracy. Let’s just say that this is the best representation of movie Bumblebee I’ve ever seen and I own the huge Ultimate Bumblebee… He’s got the most accurate head sculpt and includes the battle mask that no other version I own does! Despite initial misgivings I found that the seats were well hidden in robot mode (they’re out there but placed in such a way as to be unobtrusive). The back bumpers become the knee caps and another first (aside from the battle mask) the chest actually has two rotating sections to make the “tilted” look of his “pecks”. Even that his right hand is a blaster does not make a big difference as it is so well done (and believe me, I’ve been upset by that blaster hand in many versions – why not a rotatable hand / weapon?) and looks so good.
His articulation is off the charts too. Tranformers have good articulation and this guy has great! I can’t think of a pose I can’t get him into (31 points at least). Flip his battle mask up or down, place his missiles where you want, he looks good.
For adult collectors the additional 2.5″ Sam figure is not such a great deal. Sure he’s there and sure he’s pretty well areticulted but you have a giant robot to deal with. It should be said though that the robot has several options to carry the human – in his hand, on his shoulder or in his seat. That may be fun for you or the kids.
Maybe 30 plus dollars seems like a lot but maybe not once you get your hands on him. Transform and roll out with this Bumblebee. He’s great and puts past versions to shame. His transformation is challenging but rewarding.

My 5-year-old son received this Transformer as a gift, and he was thrilled with it, until it snapped in half near the back of a front fender (after only two weeks of play time). Now the toy is unusable. We are very disappointed, as he loved playing with Bumblebee and Sam. My son has lots of other Transformers, and he does not play roughly with them. It’s a shame that this toy didn’t last long, given that it is so expensive.

I have bought several transformers for my Grandson over the last few years. This by far was the best made of them all. It also was the biggest hit at his birthday party. You should have a big run on these after all those little boys got a chance to play with it.

My son got this for his birthday and he was so pleased with it. He was so excited to play with it and it only took him a few seconds to get it out of the box. He played with it constantly and for several hours. At first the transformation seemed hard but he figured it out very quickly and he can now do it with ease. It features great articulation. It is very screen accurate and matches the movie model quite nicely. The Sam Witwicky figure actually looks like Shia Labouf. My son loves this figure and it is one of his favorites.
Note: There is a modification that can be made to make the figure even more screen accurate. If you want to do this with your figure it is actually pretty simple. There are two screws in the back of his waste. Unscrew them and split the waste in half. After that swap the legs and rotate and twist them so that the wheels are faceing the outside of his body. Finally put the legs into place and screw the waste back together. He will still transform into car mode but you have to make a clearense in the waste so that it will rotate. Rotate and twist the legs around so that everything will fit. He will transform the same after that is done.

I ordered this toy as a present for my godson. I didnt expect it to be so small!! When i opened the package i was very dissapointed on the size of this toy and so was my godson. Unfortunately there was no time to send it back cause it was his christmas present. The price listed is extremely high for this product but the good thing is it was shipped very quick!!!
