Venksta, the guy behind Renderform.com, did some custom heads to replace your Classics Bumblebee heads to make other dudes. Bumper, Hubcap, and Goldbug were among them. This was a sweet idea, especially since getting the Bumblebee toy in yellow as some non-Bumblebee guy seemed like Not A Terribly Likely Occurrence. I didn't want to do both Hubcap and Bumper (and didn't want to replace Bumblebee on my shelf with Goldbug... wait, why? That's awesome, what's wrong with me?) and so I had to choose between the two. I settled on Bumper because Hubcap is a more popular guy who's more likely to get his own official toy eventually. Bumper? Not so much. He's a footnote's footnote. If you're doing Yellow Bumblebee #2, it's gonna be Hubcap.
And so here he is! His head comes in a baggy along with an assortment of 5mm-peg weaponry, 'cuz, y 'know, just a baggy with a single head in it feels a little empty. So, hey, added value. The head's of excellent quality and looks like it belongs on the toy. I've always wanted to try out a Renderform head, and so scratch that off the bucket list! Judging by this guy, I'll be happy to try out more.
(If you want to get a Goldbug head, BigBadToyStore.com has some in stock.)
