Yes, and Bumblebee too.
It's a nice concept and a nice gimmick. Not perfect, but fun nonetheless.

Wasn't there a F&C Bee in the AOE line? I assumed this was a reuse of that.

All of Hot Rod's toys are based on Lockdown, if applicable, sharing the same basic maker (Lamborghini). F&C Bumblebee is a direct reuse of the same toy from AoE, sharing its gimmick with Lockdown.

Anyhoo ... onto old mate Megatron.
When this guy was unveiled, I wanted ... wanted wanted wanted.
Now I have.
And now he has a new name.
Captain Floppy Legs.
While the flame thrower is a fantastic addition, it tends to make that side of the body heavy, combine with a weaker hip on the same side, posing him gets difficult.
Guess I'll just have to steal the GF's nail varnish ...
(No comment about the alt mode, have yet to transform him)

Make sure the shoulder ball bars are correct. My dreadwing has two right ones.

I think it looks fine but maybe you can swap it for one of the many, many, many other Bumblebee figure's heads?

Started off with the instructions, decided to toss them aside because trying to read anything printed in those colours on that background is near impossible for me.
He's pretty easy to figure out though. But you have to do a lot of small/minor adjustments to make sure everything lines up perfectly to lock together.
His nose cone doesn't want to stay locked in place all the time. That takes a bit of wrangling to get things to lock in. As do the wings to the legs.
Once transformed ... he's quite possibly the largest transformer jet, not just the wingspan, but the length as well. He's a mish mash though. In some spots, lots of detail, very much a jet ... others, you can clearly see robot parts.
He's a good figure, and definitely better than his voyager version. But if they were to put Masterpiece level effort into him, he could be the greatest Megatron figure ever.

Unfortunately he doesn't come with one. I'm sure a third party will have one soon, there's already one for the masterpiece figure.
In the meantime, here's a hastily photoshopped version of what this Bee would look like with the hammer (with an appropriately epic background, of course.)

Gotta disagree on that one. Voyager Megatron, imo, has better proportions, less kibble, and a wayyy better fusion cannon. Just my opinion though.

I found the jet mode to be severely lacking in ... something. I don't know what it was exactly but once I transformed him I was left disappointed.
Both voyager and leader are still impressive figures though.
And Stewie, as I've said to others I will say to you, keep 3P discussions OUT of the official threads.

I agree with this. Voyager is an awesome figure in both modes. And I love how the wings go around the legs, and the fusion cannon isn't just the entire front end of the jet. Really love the jet mode too. Gorgeous toy.

However here in the Philippines they're selling it for a little over the price of a leader class toy, no way i can justify to myself buying the set at that price.

Deluxe Bee has all 4 wings! Result! They finally got it!
And Burn, I look forward to any generations scale Megatron, but hopefully my leader is a good one when I get him. He does look to be the best of the lot

If you come across any sightings of these guys, or any other figure, make sure to use the Sightings Database and regional forums, to help out other collectors - happy hunting!
Posted by Carnivius_Prime on August 1st, 2017 @ 5:07am CDT
Either way I'd likely buy that one on sight.

yeah, sorry, I didn't realise Nitro Zeus was the name of something else (I read the wiki about it being a planned cyber attack) so I guess Hasbro couldn't use that as a trademark.
By the way what the heck does 'wolfwire' mean? The wire bit confuses me. Weirdwolf could be Strangewolf, Oddwolf, Eccentricwolf... Who the heck took the Weirdwolf name anyway?

a company in Kansas city, Missouri that does Graphic designs,

haven't been around for a while but long enough to take the trademark, and the art kind of sucks if i am honest

While we have the online listings, we don't have any sightings at a physical Asda store. So if you live in the UK and find either Hot Rod or Bumblebee, please let us know!

I have the Lockdown and Drift versions of these from AoE I found at charity shops.
