Blog #2633: Toy Review: Mechanic Toys, Steam Age Wasp, Sergeant, and Leap (Transformers Hearts of Steel Bumblebee, Gold Bug, Cliffjumper)

Mechanic Steam Age Wasp, Sergeant, and Leap (Transformers Hearts of Steel Bumblebee, Gold Bug, Cliffjumper)

Bumblebee, Gold Bug, and Cliffjumper

Back in 2018 I picked up Hot Soldiers Centurion, a third party Hearts of Steel Bumblebee. In the last yare or so it was rereleased by Mechanic Toys in three versions, Bumblebee, Gold Bug, and Cliffjumper. As you can see, the Bumblebee has a very different deco than the original, replacing the dark silver plastic with black and the bronze paint with gold. You can read my review of Hot Soldiers Centurion here. The mold has been unaltered with the exception of Gold Bug and Cliffjumper’s head sculpts and Cliffjumper’s pickaxe.

Overall: I love trains, steam engines especially, which is why I have all four versions. I don’t think having all three of these is a must, but I’d get one.

Thanks for reading!

I’m 36 years old, and I work in network tech support for a public school system. I am a huge fan of Star Trek, Transformers, Harry Potter, and Marvel Comics as well as numerous other fandoms. I’m a big sports fan, especially the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. I collect toys (mostly Transformers but other stuff too), comic books, and Red Sox baseball cards. I watch an obscene amount of television and love going to the movies. I am hopelessly addicted to Wizard Rock and I write Harry Potter Fanfiction, though these days I am working on a couple of different original YA novels.
