Thumbs up iGear Bumblebee Anyone?





Potentially a great substitute for Classics Bumblebee finally?

Re: iGear Bumblebee Anyone?

Look like another iGear rip off



Exact same transformation points....wouldn't surprise me if that putty was simply plastered over this mold for a mock up

Re: iGear Bumblebee Anyone?

Does igear ever release anything? I don't get my hopes up about their products because you'll usually never see them and if you do they'll either be KOs (mp prime) or cheap crap (the base). I'm still waiting on the mini sharkticons.

All the original iGear projects announced 2010 or before are canceled, from what they said. Now their just focusing on PP series and new stuff.


Oh, and an interesting tidbit I learned. Apparently iGear got banned from a bunch of asian TF forums, like ACToys.

Re: iGear Bumblebee Anyone?

Looks like they're going for a twofer...I'm sure both Hasbro and VW wouldn't be pleased by this!

If the Classics lines have shown us anything, it's that Hasbro can make our favorite original characters look (transform, articulate, and so on...) great without infringing on anyones patents.

Anyone that absolutely has to have Bumblebee change into a Beetle either needs to stick to G1, or stop living in the past.

Re: iGear Bumblebee Anyone?

Re: iGear Bumblebee Anyone?

Looks better than the Classics version with the stupid trailer/backpack of nothing. I think we've seen the robot mode before and the transformation isn't exactly the same although very similar.

Re: iGear Bumblebee Anyone?

Can we see that in a "new" Beetle chassis?

compared to igear, fp stuff is cheap lol. for what fp do, it's worth the price, they won't be $20 toys, just because they didn't make enough of the figures for them to be that cheap

Re: iGear Bumblebee Anyone?

I don't mind this...hopefully they'll make it. If they don't, I won't loose sleep over it.

I think they did have a win with the mini-sharkticon...oh well, again, not a huge loss.
