Shattered Glass Goldbug

Shattered Glass Goldbug, is an evil version of the normally cute and friendly Bumblebee. He is portrayed here as a sleek and aerodynamic sports car, which strikes a very nice balance between what is expected of a more classic styled Transformers figure, and his new Movie design.

Goldbug’s car mode is very impressive, designed with a translucent blue windshield, and a very stealthy paint job that is highly reminiscent of move Stealth Bumblebee. The purple Autobot symbol has been placed at the front of the car, as a hood ornament, and the stripes on the sides of the car, and the sharp angles and curves in the yellow paint emphasize the atmosphere of speed that surrounds Goldbug.

Able to be mounted on top of Goldbug in this form, is his blaster. Somewhat compact, attached to his roof, it looks like a futuristic cannon. Goldbug’s cyber key comes made in translucent orange plastic, with metallic gold used for the symbol.

In robot mode, Goldbug is no less impressive. Sturdy and stable, Goldbug has a very streamlined, powerful feel. Molded onto his left shoulder is the purple Autobot symbol, and his newly designed head is very much that of Goldbug. He comes with full joints, and is stable, allowing him to hold poses well. His paint job is excellently done, and gives him a very shadowy look. In a touch of brilliance, the paint on his chest is designed to appear like an insects mandibles. As in vehicle mode, his cyber key will activate his Translucent blue wings, which reinforce the insect feel.

Goldbug is an excellently made figure, and would an excellent addition to any collection.
