I agree this quality of bot is going to very hard to pull off in a toy.  I'm looking forward to seeing them try and I hope we don't end up with just a crappy line for kids that's at best "inspired" by the bots in the movie.  Coincidentally I posted a thread on what I think might be the best solution a day before these shots became public:Master Replica's post

 

P-

Well if you anyone wants to see BB, go here:

It'll only be viewable on this site for ONE day, that's today only, June 28th, unless you're a member there.

Thanks for the link.

 

That's the same pic that's at the beginning of the thread. Is there a second one? I was under the impression there was a second one.

Found on YTMND: Bumble Bee was not a Camaro

anyone get the feeling that the bot that transforms into the Camaro will be more akin to Hot Shot? from what we see of the robot's head, it looks more like Armada Hot Shot's. also, it seems to have a chest-mounted engine, which is another traite of A-Hot Shot. finally, the Camaro looks more like A-Hot Shot's vehicle mode.

 

besides, being a mute TF who talks in radio songs sounds more like something A-Hot Shot would pull than Bumbelbee.

well if he's still a mute then i'll just assume that he's JAaM Boy because that's just too stupid even for Bumblebee.

Well Hotshot is stealing BB's design any way. ie, the hood/bumper is the feet and the head is at the rear of the car. From the pics it looks like BB's head isbehind the rear spoiler so I assume he does have the classic transform.

but then how do you explaing the chest mounted engine? or do Camaros house their engines in a rear compartment?

I'm thinking the engine is on his back. Look at his elbow positioning again.

I can assure you they don't
