okay...

breath in... held my breath for five seconds

breath out... tried not to get pissed off...

repeated 5 times...


didn't work...

I wonder if it is true that even a blind person will see the light at the end...

Did really hasbro think that the fans would be overwhelmed with this same toy with (a wont say a new) another paint app on it?

I skiped the FE prime bee and the rid bee, but took the BS Bee ('scuse me, the BH Bee)
then they painted it black... then... then... THIS?????
I really don't see the point. maybe there is ONE guy, out there, who will bee Overjoyed by this... I can tell you this guy is no friend of mine.

Optibotimus told me once that Bee is quite big with the kids and toys are made for kids...

yeah...

its... true... I guess...

but when a 6yo kid is fed up with bee, maybe, just maybe, someone should get up and say:

hum... maybe we should focus on ANOTHER character?
We are all fed up with Bee
but we still comment when a new one gets released... and we wonder why they keep coming...

well its because we just pay attention to it, positive or negative, we comment...

maybe if we start ignoring the future bees, maybe only then hasbro will open its eyes...

but its being optmistic to say that.

I tell you: Bumblebee will singlehandedly Kill the whole transformers franchise.

way to go Bee, way to go...

It's the BB/Optimus fetish I keep mentioning! Someone(s) at Hasbro has a major hard-on for BB and Optimus. Or maybe he just skimmed the market research and just grabbed the two characters as the major sellers, disregarding the ACTUAL data. I say "market research", of course, with some irony: I am pretty certain, at this point in time, that Hasbro has no idea what market research actually means. I'm not sure they have any idea of which figures even sell, in any given line.

If they could just SKU the characters differently, and KEEP TRACK of the sales, we might see an end to the BB fetish.

BB fetish... egad! Just had the most horrific mental image of the literal meaning of that term! Why hasn't anyone directed that movie?

BB is a sign of decline - Hasbro is out of touch with its fans and/or customers. The next step is huge financial losses. And if things don't turn around after that, we see Hasbro folding the brand or selling it off (my money is on "hibernating TFs"). TF4 will be a big turning point, but I'm not entirely convinced they can strike gold 3 times in a row.

This is how you milk a dead horse, Hasbro. And this horse isn't even female...

I couldn't agree more

Because Vivid considers themselves a classy outfit now.

Only to bring him back in TF5 as JC BB so they can tap into some of that christian book/toy store money.

You, sir, are brilliant. I'm down for petitioning VIVID to do those videos, and I'd be all over a JC BB! Honestly, if not for the sacrilege, I'm pretty certain, at this point, that there are people in Hasbro who already think of BB as JC, and are just too nervous to officially announce it. Heck, let's dispense with the illusions of propriety and just place a JC BB statue in the front lobby of Hasbro!

L O efing L !!!!
