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

Finally Hasbro released all the insecticons and they are screen-accurate. As with his counterparts, the "bug" mode is just a glorified brick, but I guess they make up for it in robot mode. The exude quite the presence. Nice and sturdy feeling too. Got mine from BargainRanger. Good supplier, used a nice box and decent aftermarket price. ($35)

Although Shrapnel was my favorite Insecticon in the cartoon, for me, this Bombshell is the best of the three Legacy line Insecticons. The face and head sculpt are spot on with the animation, and both modes are fantastic. I am very happy with this figure and am glad I bought two copies!

Easy to transform.

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.

Love this little guy. I’m glad to finally complete the insecticons, this guy was nice and cheap & still has some fun play value

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

It arrived right on time great figure thanks Amazon

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.
