Bumblebee

All Hail Michael Bay.

Can.
Not.
Wait.

I've had this little Transformers toy since I was about eight years old or so. Well not this particular one. This was bought from play.com last year. The original (minus a couple of tyres) is in my Mum's house in a little wooden thing with lots of small cubicles for knick-knacks that hangs on the wall (it's hard to describe) alongside other things like FIMO people.

At that age, I vaguely recall primary school friends having the expensive Optimus Primes and Megatrons that took an hour and a half to transform when you didn't know what you were doing. I always had the little ones, but loved them all the same. Back in the 80s, the Autobot and Decepticon stickers would change colour when you applied the heat of your thumb to them providing endless hours of fascination.

This little guy is Bumblebee in his previous life as a Volkswagon Beetle (he's now a Chevrolet Camaro). Here's Cliffjumper.
