My scanning was bad but here is a small gift to everyone. The first pictures are more of Alt. Jazz's prototype. The the last two are the rare blueprints of Bumblebee. Enjoy.

Aww have you guys no taste? ...It's a design classic! Not so much the new Beetle though. Maybe you hate kittens also, cuz anyone thinking the Beetle is ugly is beyond me.

I wish the rest of the main autobot characters had been done - Trailbreaker, Hoist, Gears, Brawn, and Huffer.

Wow, thanks for posting those photos. I've never seen them before.

No love for the bug? It's F'ing Bumblebee ... get out now! You are all banned!

Well, I'm an Audi TT owner and fan so I would have loved to see them do a TT alternator. I think the new Mercedes GL would make a good Megarton too.

wow - just wow. all i can say is thank you for the pics. they're really appreciated, and i finally can see what Jazz woulda been.

granted, i still like Jazz's Mazda legs as they look more bulkier, but the upper body of prototype Jazz is just so sweet. very G-1 like.

and - i daresay it - Bumblebee here looks WAAAAY better than it's Classics counterpart! i don't like the "cape" on its back, but the rest of the body is so good. here's wishing VW did grant that license to use their Beetle for the BT/Alt Bumblebee.

:MAX:

Bumblee wasn't destined for Alts. First, VW wouldn't license the bug then Hasbro f'ed up the deal with BMW and the mini-cooper. Or at least that was the rumour that was reported.

VW was going to license the product as long as it did not have a gun. But anyways, you are all very welcome. I thought that you would enjoy the photos.

Nope, still hate the Bug, new and old. What a little peter puffer car.

Others that would have made good alternators: BMW 6, MB SLK 55 AMG, the Cadillac V16 concept car, or the Ford Shelby Concept car from a couple years back.

Hasbro should've gone along with that. Bumblebee doesn't need a gun.

thanks man, the pics were very informative and i truly enjoyed it (especially BB). where did you get your catalog? is that a Japanese import or an insert from some Binaltech toy?

Another car manufacturer that was approached by Hasbro & Takara was BMW and like VW, they approved the design for BB & Cliffjumper as long as the figure did not have a weapon.
