Classics Bumblebee

Maybe THE toy from the 2006 Classics line? As long as you ignore, y'know, Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, maybe Jetfire as well. But he is definitely one of the iconic Classics toys still, he's in that group.

He is still pretty fun but definitely is showing his age nowadays, especially in terms of articulation (mostly in the legs). On the plus side, because of transformation, he does have butterfly joints in the shoulder so that's neat. Also like how he's got seats in vehicle mode instead of the interior just being folded up robot bits.

I actually got this toy after I got Netflix Bumblebee. The toy store I picked him up at had both this toy and the Classics Cliffjumper repaint. Did consider grabbing ol' Cliffy instead but decided on Bee because the store - for some reason - was asking only like $20 for Bee but $35 for Cliff?
