Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

But would they complain? Forgetting the timing to parallel with the release of the Movie in Japan, A MP Bumblebee already exists. So I think fans would have been overwhelming positive in welcoming a MP Cliffjumper to the line, over a 2.0.

No, people would complain that it didn't match with existing fellow Mini-Bot Bumblebee's realistic alt mode. It makes more sense to start over than to do other guys like Cliffjumper first and leave their star character as the odd one out with his realistic alt mode and (compact) bot kibble. The only way doing CJ first would have worked would have been if they announced both at the same time and released CJ first.

With that said I felt the original MP Bee was a bit overpriced for what we got, so I'm probably going to have "issues" with this release.

Emerje wrote:Indeed. It's hard to mistake something like the VW Beetle front, even on the cartoon. However the other Mini-Bot alt modes are much more generic looking and probably can get away without licenses.

Except for the fact that their original Japanese names from the Car Robots line often played off the names of the real world cars. I even think designers admitted to basing the toys off of real cars.
