Transformers Alternity Bumblebee A-03

Transformers Alternity Bumblebee is the 3rd item produced in Alternity toyline after Convoy & Megatron. Alternity Convoy aka Optimus Prime produced in 3 colors, which is Red, Grey and Black. TakaraTomy use Nissan GT-R model for Convoy mold and Nissan Fairlady-Z to produce Megatron's mold. The red Convoy is the most sought after Alternity toyline because of the color which is resemble G1 color. Scalped sellers normally used VHTF (Very Hard to Find) acronym to remind potential buyers how expensive Red Convoy nowadays.

Lucky for me i bought Red Convoy earlier and the other 2 colors, grey and black (Black Convoy). That's why we must Buy 1st Regret Later in Transformers toyline because we never know which one will be the most sought after items.

For A-03, Alternity Bumblebee, TakaraTomy use Suzuki Swift Sport model, which is totally different from G1 Bumblebee or movies, Volkswagen Beetle and Camaro. This model looks smaller than previous 2 Alternity line, Nissan GT-R and Nissa Fairlady-z. The price also a slight cheaper from Convoy and Megatron. So, far TakaraTomy produced 2 color, yellow and red, which resemble Cliffjumper, Bumblebee sidekick or best buddy. Let's go on and check what so special about this Suzuki Swift Sport, Alternity Bumblebee.

Early look on the packaging of Alternity Bumblebee.

The color not so yellow because from here you can the green color spot on.

Out from the box, in vehicle mode, Suzuki Swift Sport. Notice the sport rims? No more detailing on that parts. Not for the previous 2 models.

Close up under the vehicle mode.

Open doors. "Hop in guys!"



First look in robot mode. Don't you think it looks kinda weird and funny especially on the chest?

TakaraTomy should make the chest and belly parts to show more of the car parts. May be flip the roof to show what's beneath it.

Close up on the head mold. Bear in mind that Cliffjumper came with different head mold.

With guns.

Overall, i give this guy 8.5 out of 10. Why 8.5? So easy to transform and change it back to vehicle mode. The slack parts is the chest and belly, looks too bulky and hard to move. The color also not too yellow for me because at certain view, looks greenish to me. All and all, it still a great mold for me, small and cute plus with the G1 head mold, it does look 'Bumblebee'.

Most of the collectors bought Alternity Bumblebee because of the head mold and the sporty look of Suzuki Swift. For me, still, Buys 1st Regret Later.
