Bumblebee
w/ Autobot Driller
Like the Bumblebee "redeco" that came with the Bumblebee Battle Suit set, the Bumblebee that comes with the Autobot driller isn't much different from the original version of Beast Hunters legion Bumblebee. He has the same basic Bumblebee black-and-yellow color scheme-- the most obvious difference on this version is that the front grill, side windows & armor, and front windshield are of a rather dark metallic silvery blue, compared to the black of those parts on the original. The shade of the color itself is quite nice, and gives off quite the "shiny armor" vibe because how metallic it all looks, even if the blue doesn't contrast quite as well with the yellow as the black on the original version of this mold did. There is still some black, though-- the dual-barreled gun on the hood is now black compared to the silver on the original, and the wheels and a few minor parts visible in robot mode are also black. In fact, the black that is present is a bit more "pure" than the black on the original release of this mold, which ups the contrast and is a slight positive change, in my opinion. Of one final note is that this Bumblebee's yellow is of a slightly lighter, more orangey shade than the more straightforward, duller yellow on the original. I don't really have a preference either way with this color change, as it's so slight. This shade of yellow makes him look a bit more "movie-ish" in terms of his overall coloration.
This version of Bumblebee has the same alterations made to the mold as the original legion Beast Hunters version; no mold changes have been made specifically for this version.
The Autobot Driller that comes with Bumblebee follows his same general color scheme-- which seems to be a requirement of all Bumblebee accessories, at this point. Just like 'Bee, it's primarily the same color of orangish yellow, with a fair amount of black on the sides of the main body and side sections, as well as on parts of the drill. The "new addition" color-wise here is a larger amount of blue-- particularly a rather dark shade of translucent blue that forms parts of the drill, the front of the side missile launchers, and the hacksaw and claw-prod accessories (yes, this driller does come with the same extra Cyberverse-scale weapons that the original version of this mold had-- needless to say, they worked better with Knock Out). There's also a bit of the same dark metallic blue used on 'Bee himself, used on the driller for the transformation slider on the back end, some minor connector parts, and part of the main body. There's also just a touch of translucent lime green on the spring-loaded projectiles, which goes REALLY well with the translucent blue-- I wish it had been used a bit more. As far as paint apps, they're fairly minimal, which is a bit of a shame-- there's too many large unbroken areas of yellow that really could've used some more paint. However, the treads are painted a nice silver shade, and the second-to-front piece of the drill is painted a blue that fits in with the dark transparent blue strikingly well without actuallly being transparent because of safety regulations.
The Autobot Driller does have a few mold alterations, but unfortunately all the changes involve the removal of the electronics in the toy. The wire connecting the translucent blue gun to the electronics pack is gone-- it's just a non-firing gun accessory now-- and no lights come on in the toy when you press down on the Autobot-symbol button (which has been remolded to remove the molded-in Decepticon faction symbol on it-- the Autobot symbol on this button is merely painted on), though the drill still spins quite nicely. This also means that there's a few holes in the toy that now serve no function-- otherwise, no mold changes have been made to the driller.
