Bumblebee
The vintage G1 Autobot Bumblebee toy is inspired by the original G1 release stands 5 inches tall! You can clip and save the tech specs included on the pack in the classic G1 style fans know and love to compare figures’ strength, speed, firepower, and more! Inspired by the original G1 collectible action figure packaging and he’s shown off in a nice plastic bubble. Bumblebee is one of the smallest and physically weakest Autobots. While his stature allows him to do his job better than most Autobots could manage, he is self-conscious about his size. Maybe this is why he makes fast friends among the humans. He looks up (so to speak) to the other Autobots, especially Optimus Prime, but what he doesn’t realize is that they look up to him. He may be small, but he’s brave, and he’s one of the most well-liked Autobots around. Bumblebee already has the respect he craves.
Autobot Bumblebee action figure features classic conversion from robot to VW Beetle car mode in 20 steps.

Gears
Gears is anti-social, a self-proclaimed misfit. He finds fault in everything and everyone. He acts this way to help cheer other up as they try to cheer him up. Gears hates Earth, a lush, green planet practically as unlike his cozy, gray, metallic homeworld as possible. He grumbles and complains about being shipwrecked on it—complains and grumbles to a ridiculous extent, until he becomes a source of amusement, rather than negativity. This is usually his intent—unlike his fellow Mini Vehicle Huffer, Gears has a desire to help his fellow Autobots see good in a bad situation. Still, he does get depressed from time to time.
The 5-inch (12.7 cm) Autobot Gears action figure features classic conversion from robot to truck mode in 12 steps.
