The Energon Pub

personally, I think they should've killed off BB.
It would've added so much more emotion to the rest of the movie, and (IMO) given more credibility for OP to go apesh!t on everyone.

if it were to happen, i imagine it like this:

same thing happens up until Soundwave charges up his cannon.
it continues to start to glow, and then the camera cuts to Sam jumping (like he was surprised)
you then see BB from the torso down fall to his needs and then to the ground.
Sam cries out and runs toward Soundwave, super f*ckin' pissed.
The Wreckers (after helping Prime) come in and help Ratchet and Dino tear apart Soundwave and all of the other 'Cons.
The movie then proceeds as the original.

I would've been much more happy with this.
That would've been the most talked about scene in the movie for sure, since BB is a fan fav.

what do you think?

yea, it may be more effective than killing off IronHide.

hehe, who is going to be our next mascot... Cliffjumper ? :grin:

That was never gonna happen, as BB is the kid magnet of the franchise. It would have been like when Prime got killed in the 86 movie.

ha ha, plus think how many new BB's that would make.

Medivaced Bumblebee
Ghost of Bumblebee "clear version"
in pieces Bumblebee

lets just keep the lot as it is.

I even helped my closest Walmart out yesterday and put all the Bumblebees in one area of the TF section. as I was waiting on my wife to get some things. Sadly, they outnumbered the rest.

When I saw that moment, part of me know so well that this is not gonna happen but most of me screams "Soundwave, DO IT!!!". But unfortunately it didn't happen as I hoped. :sad:

Well, I know my son might cry (because he did when Megatron stabbed Optimus in the back in ROTF and also a little bit in '86 movie) but I just don't care. Just really don't want to see that pacifier sucking robot anymore.

I thought it was going to happen, but I'm glad they didn't do it. That would have been a major downer. Plus my son loves Bumblebee. I'd hate for him to see that scene.

Nope. I can just imagine all the parents running outside of the theater trying to calm down there crying kids. I will admit, that part of me did think that soundwave was going to off BB, but at the same time i knew he was to much of an iconic movie character to be killed in that manner.

I posted something on this also I believe. I was SOOOOO hoping Soundwave would merc Bumblebee and take over the world!!!!!!!!! I was very disappointed with Soundwaves face time in the trilogy,I'm sure he is alot of peoples childhood favorites

I honestly would have loved it, mostly because it would add emotion to the movie and probably make most feel more hatred for the 'cons, and because I kinda came to hate 'Bee for hogging the spotlight, and I think it would have made me like him more. It also just made the scene seem anticlimatic, since I knew he would never die. If he was killed, it would have been the biggest shocker ever.

...But there would be the problem with kids (And adults alike), and we'd have a 1986 moment x100. Not good. :BANG_HEAD:
