Transformers Toys Legacy Evolution Deluxe Class Insecticon Bombshell Toy, 5.5-inch, Action Figure for Boys and Girls Ages 8 and Up

I have been looking for a good bombshell figure for a long time. I think this is about as good as it gets for hasbro/ takara deluxe series. Good toy!

Great size and quality. My son loves all his Transformers.

Collecting all the studio series

Bought these as a gift for a collector and he loved them!

And no, he's not hit me with a cerebro-shell to say that, it's of my own free-will, a solid entry and a fine way to finish up the core Insecticons. That said, he's somewhere between a 4 and 5 due to a few little things so I'm giving him an honest 4 out of 5. Bombshell is solidly-built, nothing pops off or falls apart or can't hold a pose. He uses some parts from Shrapnel - forearms, hands, and everything from the waist down - while changing up the transformation in several ways. His colors are a mix of cartoon and G1 toy accuracy, looking different enough from his fellow Insecticons to be immediately recognizable. Articulation is good as it's roughly the same as Shrapnel but adds backwards-butterfly jointing from the transformation; like his mold-mate, his neck only rotates, no up-down movement. The shoulders ship with the bug legs sticking out, but they actually click into the hinge slot for a closer fit, and pop out to allow greater range on the shoulders -- not that they need it, they already had plenty. Bombshell sports a trio of accessories, his twin ion impulse blaster and a pair of handguns that are used as legs in beetle mode; the instructions suggest slapping all these together for some evo-fusion action which is ok but not that much bigger, so I prefer him with three guns to one. Transformation is fairly straightforward, I don't like how the forearms connect to the thighs, it seems like the thigh plastic didn't leave quite enough room for the tab so the fit isn't fully straight, throwing off alignment just enough to get a little wonky. Sculpting is good, a balance between the smoother cartoon looks and the more techno-detail focus of this line. Decoration is pretty good all around, though not entirely accurate to any one look. Bug mode is a robo-rhinoceros beetle and looks adequately like the character. The back half looks too much like Shrapnel, they didn't even remove the fins. I don't care for the small shoulder risers leaving the sides of the robot face visible here, it's not G1 accurate to the toy or cartoon. In beetle mode, he has one point of meaningful articulation: his horn can fold up or down. Weapon storage is limited to either hole on the bug back, none of the other holes work, and most are covered in this mode.

Paid a little above 40 bucks for this guy, all in all definitely not a bad figure, very nice addition to anyone’s collection. Maybe not 40 bucks worth but still good. Amazon seriously does need to lower their prices for transformers however.

Received package fast and in great shape.

Item arrived on time and in good condition. It seems to be good for display. I put it on my desk in robot mode.

Ottimo Deluxe da non perdere per un collezionista

The product is amazing. It's the last Transformers Legacy Insecticon to complete the trio, Bombshell. He's amazing. What wasn't was the fact Amazon packaged him in a bag rather than a box so the Transformers box was crushed! Figure was ok but no saving the box! Be warned if you are a collector.

Gute und stabile Figur. Das Kopfdesign lässt gegenüber dem Original aus den 80ern leider zu wünschen übrig. Schade nur, dass Amazon hier (wie auch bei allen anderen Transformers Figuren) nur noch Papiertüten zum Versand nutzt. Jedes Mal sehen meine Figurenkartons als Sammler aus, wie als wenn DHL absichtlich draufgetrampelt ist.... Kein Wunder, wenn diese Papiertüten unter schweren Kartons von DHL im Laster landen, weil alles nur reingeschmissen wird.... Amazon weigert sich leider hier etwas zu ändern... Jede Bestellung bisher so beschädigt angekommen.... Für Sammler ein Alptraum!

Exactly what I was after thank you very much fast delivery and well packed

Another banger. These new Insecticons have been top notch and possibly my favorite ones I have so far. Delicious delicious delicious.....
