Well you just proved my point.
Cybertronians dont have bones. They may have a skeletal form but it isnt made of Bone so why would they come up with a name like Bonecrusher?
It was a name designed to sound intimidating on Earth (though werent the Constructicons made there?) and since he was a heavy construction vehicle it fit.

Well, they may not be made of "bone" persay, but they do have skeletons,,and besides what we're seeing is the translations of their Cybertronian names. Basically the rough English equivalent to what their names mean in their language.

As for their origins. No, the Constructicons were not built on Earth. The cartoon had two completely contrsdictory origins for them one with them created on Earth and another with them being former friends of Omega Supreme back on Cybetron. The comics have always had them coming from Cybertron. They even appear in War Within with Cybertronian forms and alt modes.

I've grown to like it now, but the bug would have been nice to see, even if only for a while near the beginning to say that he was one at one point.

Bumblebee had a great sense of knowing his Camaros. Was it just odd coincidence that he started out as an old classic Camaro and then by chance came across a new camaro uknowingly? How often you come across that? LOL! jk of course. It's just a movie, but I'm just saying...


And to think there's only one Camaro Concept in the world out in the streets for test drive.

What a coincidence! The test drive is even only scheduled for one day only!

One in a quinzillion gazillion chance?


Not only that but it happened to have the exact same paintjob too.
Go put your Lotto tickets on now young Bumbles your smashing the odds today! lol.

Well, considering that all of the vehicle modes each of the Autobots took on created an exact match to the vehicle they scanned down to the paint job, and probably down to the VIN number.

No you missed the point.
The new Camaro he scanned just happened to have the exact paintjob he currently had.
ie Yellow with black racing stripes.

BB needs some Earth-life orientation. He keeps the plate number on his belt in robot mode. Yet, there's no plate in the car mode. (For the toy)
