I think this is a refreshing change to the generic transformations we are used to.  Sure he has massive forearms, but so does popeye the sailor man.  I am really happy for this change of pace.

 

As for a bumblebee remold, I hope not. I would tend to agree that bumblebee should be a Volkwagon or nothing at all.  Sorry to say if that means that we don't get a bumblebee, I'm okay with that.  I wouldn't mind seeing cliffjumper as a mini coppoer though....then maybe bumper or something, but bumblebee is a bug.

I'm just glad they're making a Rumble.

... as a car...  :redface

So? I hope Frenzy gets turned into a car too. They can't be cassettes anymore, CDs wouldn't work, so cars are perfect.

hmph.  i guess i am looking negatively at some of this.  I would really like to see him as more than a picture. and I shouldn't be as close minded...  thanks for clarification

Erm, is everyone forgeting something??? RAVAGE! He was a repaint, and yet he still was good. + this is the first decepticon mold up till now, all the others are repaints! To me i think Rumbles :clap  :thumb

finally, some asymmetrical alts. :clap

I think the hood/trunk as arms looks like X-Brawn from RID, which IMO sucks.  :)

x-brawn is awesome toy - I liked all 3 car brothers -

There are a few reasons why Bumblebee would work well with a Civic, mainly because I'd love to see variety in havng two cars completely the same transforming into two very different robots working in the same scale.  I often think that Windcharger would have worked so well as a Mustang if Hastomytak would only have engineered variation with a few of the alts. 

 

I'm all for seeing the rise of the Hatchback pocket rockets in the BT/ALT line.

 

I'm really psyched to see the asymmetrical X-Brawn bodytype. :thumb

rumble is back now ill just buy the alt style rumble. I have longed for a rumble toy for a long time.

That mold was actually ment to rumble?  SWEET!!!  He even has his PileDrivers SCORE!!!

i hated the x brawn look. this mold sucks. Why that stuupid arm? Reminds me of an Energon toy.....not what i expect from an Alternator.

If you think he looks awesome as a drawing, wait 'till you see the prototype! :thumb

I'm sure we'd like to, but does one exist?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I think so. That art work definitely was drawn by an artist looking at the final toy. Usually the concept art is a straight up standing pose. This is an action pose like on the Red boxes.

Does it come in blue...
