Remember that dinky little Bumblebee figure you had as a kid? Well it’s the 21st century baby – the toys have to be bigger and badder than ever ( plus, there is a movie coming out ). That having been said, get a load of the Ultimate Bumblebee:

He’s far more than meets the eye! The 14-inch tall animatronic Bumblebee robot transforms into a 2008 Camaro with lights and sounds. With the touch of a button, robotic Bumblebee comes to “life” with speech and music featuring Devo’s “Whip It”, battle and conversion sounds and animated head, arms and wings. Bumblebee’s sound detection capabilities enable him to respond to noise, and he can also aim and fire a missile.

As you might imagine, a toy this spectacular won’t come cheap. But let’s face it, geeky fanboys aren’t the people to talk to when it comes to setting a responsible list of financial priorities.
