Bumblebee Battle Suit

Bumblebee Battle Suit is an Autobot battle suit (appropriately enough) from the Aligned continuity family

Bumblebee generally tends to prefer a modicum of subtlety in his battle tactics; he's a scout, after all, built for speed and evasion rather than firepower. He realizes, however, that at the end of the day there are some problems that can't be outrun or evaded, only met head on and blown into itty bitty pieces through an overwhelming application of force. When problems like that arise, Bumblebee mounts up in the Bumblebee Battle Suit and strides into battle, blasting enemies to smithereens with the suit's array of cannons and missiles.

The Bumblebee Battle Suit is a large, vaguely humanoid combat suit with articulation at the hips, elbows, and shoulders (though the shoulders only rotate laterally, not forward and backward, making their use rather limited). The cockpit in the torso can hold a single Cyberverse figure; ostensibly, this is meant to be the included Legion-class Bumblebee, but any other Legion- or Commander-class figure can comfortably fit in there as well. The suit has 5mm post-compatible fists for holding the included missile-firing blaster, and these can rotated around to reveal molded, non-firing cannon barrels. The suit is also festooned with numerous C joint bars and both 3mm and 5mm holes for mounting all sorts of additional weaponry. The suits's fists/arm cannons and a panel behind the head are made of translucent blue plastic, allowing them to be lit up by the suit's Energon Booster gimmick, common to all Prime Cyberverse Vehicles. In theory, the booster can also be plugged into the back of the missile-firing blaster in order to light up the translucent plastic at its tip, though this doesn't actually work very well in practice.
