(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to the original TLK Tiny Turbo Changer Bumblebee toy. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of the original TLK TTT Bumblebee toy here.)

    "Knight Strike" Bumblebee doesn't do anything particularly unique for movie 'Bee redecoes; it just mostly reverses the colors, with black now being the domninant color and yellow being more of an accent color. As such, the majority of this toy is black plastic, which can muddle some of the more intricate mold detailing in robot mode. He's particularly dull in vehicle mode, given he's only got two small yellow stripes on his hood and that's it for paint. He makes up for this in robot mode, with almost his entire chest and helmet painted yellow, while his face and abs are silver, with blue eyes on his disturbingly cute visage. That said, most of this paint just sort of "gives" Bumblebee what he already had-- yellow on his chest and head. Overall, Hasbro could've pulled off a better Stealth redeco with better paint app placement-- I'd recommend the original slightly over this one, despite generally liking black over yellow.
    No mold changes have been made to this version of Bumblebee.
