One of the highlights of Transformers is the rapid transformation between car and robot forms. However, in LEGO® blocks, Bumblebee can also transform without needing to be rebuilt! Isn’t that amazing?
※ Front glass only attached.
Bumblebee’s vehicle mode is modeled after the Volkswagen Beetle. The word “Bumblebee” in English means “bumblebee,” hence the yellow body inspired by bees. There are even bee-themed tiles on the front glass.
Comes with an information plate detailing Bumblebee’s specs. Whether playing with its transformation or action features, Bumblebee is enjoyable and can be displayed as an interior collector’s item alongside the information plate.
Maintaining the same scale as the currently available Optimus Prime, Bumblebee is suitable for playing together. Like Optimus Prime, it can transform from robot to vehicle without rebuilding, making it perfect for exciting battles and adventure play!
