Oh, but if it got any darker, like a few brutal Autobot deaths, with big splatters of energon like Django: Unchained. Please. I'd be in heaven.

I'm psychotically insane, BTW.

I like a good Simon Furman story as much as the next transfan, but the deaths don't necessarily need to be brutal.

Though I think it's about time one of the Autobots gets killed off, to remind everybody people die in war. Bumblebee never says or does anything, let's off him before we get hit by another yellow swarm.

Bumblebee's only on the show to sell toys. Although it would prove the writers have some balls if they did kill him off.

And I need my brutal deaths.

I'm not exactly... qualified or anything, but anytime you want to talk, I'm here.


That aside, I want Bumblebee to be killed off, but that's mostly because of Hasbro's edict of making him a mute like his Bayverse companion, and my hating the fact Johnny Young Bosch couldn't reprise his role as Bee for Fall of Cybertron and has led me on a lonely path of vengeance and ridding the world of bleeps from yellow kid-friendly characters.

There's a sequel to Prime: redo it as a comedy where Bumblebee gets killed off every episode like Kenny from South Park. The viewership will skyrocket.

Ironically, Simon Furman considered Beast Machines to be too dark for his tastes.

Or just treat him like Waspinator in Beast Wars .

*Edit
I'm not gonna join the KOB (Kill off Bumblebee) conversation, but I have my own wish:

A TF ANIMATED series (Not that ANIMATED, just a cartoon, like G1 or Prime) concentrating on the Wreckers!
A story arc which would follow a group of Wreckers on the battlefields of Cybertron during The Great War.
Introduction, character-based stories, missions, new recruits, casualties, framings, and, for the fun of it, a little romance (E.G. Springer & Arcee). Also, betrayal-by-a-brother arc.

Y'know, the basic TV show components to tell the story of the most popular Autobot sub-group after the Dinobots, who have regretfully little appearances in fiction outside of comics.

A storyline starting with forming the group in the dawn of the war, then becoming a well-respected group over time, and then finishing it off with either Exodus (like Aligned continuity) or victory of the Autobots.

I wanna see something like animated, in terms of animation style. I love Derrick J Wyatt's art style and I'm growing sick of remolding the same character in CGI because it's cheaper. I.E Dreadwing/Skyquake, Hot Shot/Bumblebee, The more optimus-looking Ultra Magnus/Optimus Prime...Also sick of awesome new toys of iconic characters,(Ironhide), and not even being featured in the show.

(I am aware of the many repainted characters in Animated, but most were background characters and didn't have much screentime.)

Dreadwing & Skyquake and Cliffjumper & Tailgate are the only [individual] Transformers in Prime that share models. Everyone else has their own.

Besides, they're not remolds. They would need new parts to be "remolds". The aforementioned are recolors. And, as a side note, these terms are used more with toys rather than show models.

Hot Shot/Bumblebee,

Hot Shot is just a toy.

(I am aware of the many repainted characters in Animated, but most were background characters and didn't have much screentime.)

The same thing happens in this show's recolors. Tailgate only appeared once and Skyquake appeared twice.

And Tailgate only appeared in flashbacks and the in-universe explanation of Skyquake and Dreadwing as twin brothers gave them reason to appear similar. You weren't complaining about Frenzy and Rumble just being palette swaps before, right?

Okay I rest my case... but I'd still like to see an Animated version again
