- Bumblebee Transformer
I bought Bumblebee for my son and it is a fun toy to play with (for me and my son). Transforming Bumblebee is not difficult, but after 2 weeks of play, I too have the front end problem in "car mode". It will not snap back in, and just hangs down. These Transformers are definetly not made with the same quality of the 80's toys.

- One of my favorite transformers!
Bumblebee and Ironhide are my favorite transformers. I don't know why so many people gave him a bad review. I love him! He's very simple to transform, and I can do it REALLY fast. You can put his guns on his shoulders or in his hands. I prefer to put them in his in his hands, but they're both very cool! He's so fun, and awesome! I love this toy! All transformer collections should have this toy! I highly reccomend it!

- trust those who say bumblebee is broken..
Like the many who reported having bumblebee's front part of the camaro refusing to stay put, I have the exact same problem. The latch to keep the stupid spring loaded front hood is of the wrong side which basically makes this version of bumblebee unable to transform to a car. You're basically stuck with the robot.

Barricade is extremely hard to transform back to a car but I was eventually able to do it. I can't believe it took me that long too. I bought my kid maybe 5 other transformer toys and this is the first time I have been disappointed. Stay away from the Bumblebee/barricade combo toy. You'll only regret it later...I definitely am.

- Hood hinge broke easily: advice on how to avoid
I bought this for my 9yo, but ended up opening it before he had a chance. When I went to convert it from car to robot, the latch stuck. Not knowing this was the case, I continued the transform and part of the cam/hinge easily broke off. The hood/shoulders still move, but there's a little coiled spring inside that's exposed now and likely to fall out soon.

Lesson learned: FULLY depress the air-intake button on the hood before moving hood. On mine the button would have needed to be depressed below the surrounding hood in order to clear the stop on the cam/hinge.

- The BEST!!!
Having been a Transformers fan from their very beginning, I was so very dissappointed to learn that Bumblebee was going to be a Camaro and not a VW Bug. After seeing the movie, I was so very pleased with the new interpretation of Bumblebee! As soon as I got home from the theatre, I ordered the toy...and I LOVE it!!!
