Beatmix Bumblebee

Posted on 29 August 2007 by


Yesterday, I found out about the Beatmix Bumblebee while browsing Amazon.com. The bot was shown under the “New For You” section on the main page. Since I love robots and Transformers, I clicked on the picture to find out more.

What is Beatmix Bumblebee? It is a mp3 player speaker styled to look like Bumblebee from the Transformers movie. There are lights, Transformers sound effects, and movement to simulate dancing. Ok, I thought to myself, the description on Amazon just was not getting me excited about buying. Like do I really need a speaker for my mp3 player?

So I turned to YouTube in hopes that someone already bought the Beatmix Bumblebee and made a video of it in action. I found several videos, but only one sealed the sale. The video is titled. Transformers Bumble Bee sings! It is a short video at forty-six seconds, but it was enough to show what the Beatmix Bumblebee can do and with lots of character.

So after a day of watching the videos on YouTube and thinking of the videos I can make with Beatmix Bumblebee singing and dancing to my favorite music, I finally placed an order with Amazon.com. The expected delivery date is this Friday. And, I simply can’t wait.
