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)

or andy yens 240 but chage it to a 180 for JDM's sake

A Skyline would kick ass, not sure who it should be but I'd love to see a GT-R. Just not another 4 door, please. 2 WRX's and a Neon are quite enough for the sedan treatment.

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.

I think you're talking about Radar from M*A*S*H. :tflaugh

The whole point of this is to sell cars, what is the point of selling a car that you can't buy? That said you will NEVER see a skyline or any car that isn't sold in the US.

 

"but...but the WRC ralley car isnt sold in the us"...as is its american counterpart the WRX, no skyline is sold and thus no skyline will be made.

 

Don't give me that to many american cars crap, the first car that came out was a Japanease Ralley car. Just because its designed in america doesn't mean its nto japanease (RX8).

 

Now this whole thing about bumblebee being a truck is RETARDED, bumble is a small car not a huge truck, if they brought him back which I doubt as he hasn't been in any of the two past cartoons and thus doesn't have much name recognition to the market (kids, these are toys you know). If he is brought back he should be a neon as its a small car, and it would be the SRT4 which is not a bad car for its price, and also because dodge would want to push that onto little kids as they will want one when they get older and yadda yadda yadda.

Whereas "Meister" has huge name recognition. :wtf

That doesn't either but it doesn't change the facts.

 

Aside from that they arn't out to make old toys new again, thus Track's yellow, and SideSwip's clone being Dead End. Thus why I don't beleive BB will be brought back, especially as a truck.

You could use the "these are toys" argument for other lines, but I don't think it works for this one. This line is clearly aimed at older collectors and I think HasTak will make every effort to give us most of the things we want.

 

On topic, I think we will probably get a Bumblebee, but not as a truck.

Don't forget, this line seems to be being initiated by Takara, a JAPANESE company. Skylines are massively popular in Japan.

Yeah, in Japan, he does. Meister was Takara's name for Jazz, as was Lambor for Sideswipe.

Exactly!

 

And yes, if a car is designed and manufactured in the states, it IS american. Just because there is a mazda badge on it doesnt make it japanese born.

Stop all this talk about skylines….you’re going to get my hopes up. Man I would so love to see a GTR Alternator. :drool

That would be a riot and a half seeing Bumblebee the rumblebee! :tflaugh

Personally, I'd love to see them remake the lil' guy's image and this is one heck of a start if this turns out to be their plan. While a pickup isn't the first auto I'd have in mind for Bumblebee, I'd still love to see him as such. I'm not one to keep pining for the same thing since G1 was a long loooong time ago, so I'm all for change.
