Alternators Bumblebee: with a huge upgrade

Recommended Posts

Well I guess read somewhere that Hasbro didn´t get the permission of other companies of cars or something like that, I´m not sure, then is not that Hasbro really like use only this american and japanese models.

 

The perfect model of car for Bumblebee is a new Beetle, I don´t believe that Hasbro don´t know that, I think the problem is that they didn´t get the contract with Volkswagen and like Volkswagen may be with other companies neither. :tfhuh

I could see that Dodge RumbleBee as BumbleBee. I think it would be cool. As long as the truck isn't too large. I mean BumbleBee was small but he was helped out Optimus and I could easily see him being upgraded to a bada$$ truck and Prime accepting it.

 

I mean that would be even awesome for a new TF Series. To have BumbleBee a totally larger and different vehicle all together as like someone said "I prefer him as growing up."

1. I would love to see an Aston-Martin Alternator. (Vanquish? Ooh...)

 

2. Bumblebee is NOT lame -- he was one of the most courageous of all Autobots, and never let his size get in his way. He is also one of the only G1 TFs who made it all the way from the first episode of the G1 show to the last.

 

3. The Dodge Neon is a boring as hell car. Bumblebee's original alt mode had character. It really should be something with a similar vibe, though I don't know offhand what that could be, given Hasbro's options. Definitely not a freakin' truck, though. Come on. Bumblebee's small size was what made him so determined to prove himself -- it defined him.

Bumblebee a big, badass truck. No sir, I dont like it. BB WAS one of the more notable lame-o's from G1, so if he is made, I say give him a lame-o design such as the Neon. A street truck version of the Ram has Ironhide or Kup written all over it. Hoist or Grapple, no. They were utility vehicles. And Trailbreaker wasn't an SUV, just a Toyota PU with a camper shell, although a 'real' SUV wouldnt be bad for him. By 'real' I mean one that could actually break some trails, like an XTerra, or Grand Cherokee not some sorority oriented puffy car/van like the CRV or Rav-4.

i would like to see more comp cars the wrc car proved that its not just road cars(i know that the wrc car is road legial in most of the world) such as Ken Nomura's sky line (er34 not a gt-r)

I'd like to see more cars like those too... But I don't see a reason from them to have compitition colors on them, unless they were on Mirage (prefer F-1 style though) or Wheeljack. That's what I like about Smokescreen, he was originally a rally car. Deadend, Sideswipe, or Tracks wouldn't look right with they would have gotten the "race ready" treatment.

 

My 2 cents on the matter though...

You're totally right. Jazz, Smokescreen, Wheeljack, Sunstreaker, and Mirage were racing vehicles, and as such should continue to be racing vehicles as Alternators. This is one thing that Hasbro has gotten right with this line so far (even down to Alt. Dead End w/ his racing stripes). I admire their consistency on that point.

 

And BTW Bumblebee was NOT a lame-o! :tfgrin He was always the first one to risk his neck for both Autobots and humans. Sure he didn't have a BFG, and wasn't some battle-hardened warrior, but he was respected -- and trusted -- because he had heart. If anything, his size only added to these qualities. Which brings him into rather sharp contrast with his Season 3 "replacement," Wheelie, who was just an annoying little prick.

yes! I agree 100%

wheel jack would look good as ken's skyline ER34 both are blue and white both race cars

 

and the new RX-8 who is going to be jazz or what ever looks stock from the body and there are very few if any race cars based on that car so i dont think its hard to make the switch

 

oh and seeing as honda are in on this and theres word of a s2k a civic would not be that far fetched
