Did anyone notice that Bumblebee is more "Gold" looking then his bland WFC yellow? Could just be the new graphics......or Foreshadowing

Dear Hasbro,

Thank you so much for letting High Moon Studios take reign over the production of Transformer games over the past few years. Many a wallet you have taken. May it stay that way for a long time!

...but I came to the realization that I'm getting tired of bumblebee.

Hasbro originally was going to retire the Dinobots for good, if it wasn't for the perseverance of Mr. Tieger and High Moon Studios. The way we're getting Bumblebee, they should retire HIM and let us have boocoodles of other characters instead of an army of kid-appeal characters (no offense Cheetor, RID Side Burn, Armada Hot Shot, Cybertron Jolt, etc.). We're getting way too much Bumblebee than the doctor ordered in my perspective.

Not thrilled with another voiceless Bumblebee, I thought his voice in WFC was great, probably one of my favourite bits about the character in the first game.
That said, though, his new double barreled rotary cannons are pretty bitchin', and the upgraded gameplay mechanics look to be quite the improvements in the user friendly department. Looking forward to playing this one.

Shut up. Don't say that this is a Prime Prequel.

Of course it's not a Prime prequal. Don't be silly.

Bumblebee looses his voice in an entirely different way. In Exodus, he loses it against Megatron at Tyger Pax. In FoC, as seen in the clip, he loses it on the Arc.

Since he was still able to speak a few things at certain points after the Tygar Pax incident, there's a little wiggle room to have this point be the moment at which his voice was gone for good.

There's not any "wiggle room" for how Starscream meets Megatron in Exodus/WFC though.

From a story telling perspective this looks amazing. From a gameplay perspective: meh! It's not amazing but it'll do.

I'm not happy that Bumblebee's gone mute again. The fact we haven't had confirmation of a FoC figure for him yet and the rather ominous first trailer makes me wonder if 'Bee will be spending a lot of this game on the bench.

The voice work doesn't convince me. The actors have done a great job but the sound guys have just copied 'n' pasted them into the game. There's no sense of atmosphere or spacial positioning apart from that moment when Bumblebee's been knocked on his ass.

The way I view any continuity issues is the novels are the novels; the games are the games; the PRIME animation is the PRIME animation. They're all telling the same story (with PRIME many millennia ahead) but they're in alternate realities where minor event has played out differently.

But then that doesn't explain 'Bee's lack of voice.

That would instantly solve any continuity issue. Except, you know, when Exodus contradicts even itself...

But then that doesn't explain 'Bee's lack of voice.

Ask Michael Bay that, IJS.

Do you mean the shoulder swapping? Yeah, big woop.
