My very first transformer was the TFA Activators bumblebee. Not only is it a big reason why I have such a soft spot for Bee, but the activator was heavily based on the original G1 toy! In addition I finally got a G1 bee today, and he’s just as fun as I imagined he would be. ☺️
Thank you! I originally was going to try keep the minibots review under ten minutes but I decided that I'm just going to do what I do. And after your comment I'm relieved and feel I did the right thing.
Fantastic review The 80's Transformers Fan!!!!!!! :D Bumblebee has come a long way from a penny racer robot to the 3rd most popular Transformers character, the first two being Optimus Prime and Megatron. :D
The nostalgia is real! I never actually grew up when Gen 1 was introduced. But when I was 6, I was introduced to the G1 Cartoon thanks to my dad, and eventually I really wanted the original G1 Model Bumblebee for years. Unfortunately, because all the official Reproductions are hard to come by where I live. Since me and my dad also had a knack for Car Modelling, as a birthday present when I became 7, me and my dad collaborated, and using Custom molds and joints, and Modifying parts of a Shiny Gold Painted VW Beetle Model my dad left rotting in his basement, we converted it into a custom G1 Style Bumblebee. And now, 9 years later, after forgetting about it for years, I found it when cleaning out my old closet, and me and my dad spent some of our quarantine time restoring it. We also made a Custom G1 Style Optimus Prime the same way we did with Bee, so I'm currently also hoping I come across it when cleaning more of my old closet out. I also dug up my 25th Anniversary DVD set of the G1 Cartoon and am binging that up too
They did poor bumblebee dirty when doing his firepower stat. If I never watched the show as a child I’d get the impression that he’s firing cybertronian blanks at the decepticons. The show version that came after made him much stronger
I was never a big fan of the Autobots. But Bumblebee was featured in so many of the original episodes, that he became my favorite Autobot, ever! Me & my brother's had all of the minibots as kids. But Bumblebee was certainly my favorite! Because he was an arrogant rulebreaker who disliked authority. Grimlock became my 2nd favorite on the good robots side. I never was a huge Optimus Prime fan. Specifically because he was always giving a head whupping to my favorite Deception of all-time, Megatron. Lol

Hey my man! Don't ever apologize...take your sweet time on these treasures...put tons of love of all the knowledge you can provide...there's maybe things we all don't know and especially people that never had the appreciation of these masterpieces. That will make your content different than others. Oh and enjoy your experiences and bringing that stroryline. 👌
I never had Bee as a kid, I got my hands on him years ago with the book reissue series, you know the one's i mean? in the white box? anyway he was in there with 5 of his friends, for me Huffer and Bee are the best toys in that pack.
At the start of the video you mentioned, some people will have an issue with you stating elementary knowledge about G1, but honestly and considering I know nothing about the line, I value all of that info. I don’t think there is another library of G1’s that outranks this series of videos.
Great Review I really want to win Bumblebeee nickname are Bee & Beeper Bumblebee by voice Dan Gilvezan (1984-1986) he did come back to voice Bumblebee again on Transformers Devastation (2015) the Video Game what did you know about Bumblebee is when the writers room thinking which Autobots is going be Befriended for human teenager Spike Witwicky is was going to be Hound but they change it to Bumblebee to be a good Friend Spike and few month later after Transformers The Movie he is the only season 1 Autobots Character that survive in the Movie so we did Bumblebee come back for season 3 still voice by Dan Gilvezan but later ended of season 3 2 Part Episode The Return of Optimus Prime bumblebee got Rebuilt to Goldbug
Bumblebee wasn't the only Season 1 character to survive the movie, Jazz and Cliffjumper did as well. Jazz's voice actor passed away but he still made appearances. Cliffjumper's voice actor quit for personal reasons during season 3.
@@80sTransfromersFan I will never understand how kids were so prone to stealing and not feeling bad about it, I already thought about it and I feel bad for thinking about it, it's just rly weird ngl
The original battlemask Bumblebee, I am so used to the Bay movies (as I grew up with them), that it's weird to see it as a Volkswagen Beetle instead of a Camaro. Still, I have been learning a lot about G1 lately, so I know a bit about Bumblebee's original version. As this is the original version, it's kinda loose, and it has the classic easy transformation (in his case: pull arms out, pull legs out and lift them, open the little plate at the top, and there he is). Note: I am not natively English, so it may have some spelling errors.
Me I was a kid when Bumblebee first existed and I find his Volkswagen form so familiar and Iconic I find myself not viewing the Camaro as Bumblebee (kind of the opposite of your viewpoint which is fine. We’re from different eras

Sweet! And congratulations. I think everyone has a soft spot for Bumblebee!
I love how much detail you go into for these reviews. The perfect type of reviews in my opinion!

I loved Goldbug and that was my first Bumblebee and my second was shinny as hell G2 version.
I need the G2 version in my collection.
He was my third transformer, Gears was first and Soundwave was second. I wish I still had everything from my childhood . Great video
I'm on my second childhood lol! And thanks!
nice intro and vid
Thank you!

My first bumblebee was the classic Camaro from the first bay movie. I loved that thing, but sadly, he is no longer with us (lost in a move).
Cool story, it sucks that you lost your Bumblebee though .
the only minibots i have are seaspray and windcharger and i have no idea where they came from
Windcharger coming soon!
These guys need to be in Earthrise as a little set, like Botbots or something! But that's only if Hasbro wants to make money.

@petebutler5139 I appreciate you saying that, bro!
One of the mostt popular robot btw did you get the new mp bumblebee??
No I've been on the fence about that one 🤔🤔🤔 I have been watching one on Ebay for 64 without the box but I JUST DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT VERSION?????

@@jeffbrothers not in my opinion.

I made sure to include Dan Gilvezan in the review after your comment on my G1 Brawn review 😉
The 80's Transformers Fan okay I hop I win this giveaway
I have that as a gift from my parent because they cant afford Optimus Prime. And my classmate stole it.
Wow that sucks they stole it! My so called friends stole my Rumble and Ravage from the lunch table when I got up for a chocolate milk!
