I personally find a lot of things more annoying than Bumblebee. I can't seem to fathom all of his spite, especially when he's about as common a character as Optimus, Megatron, and Starscream at this point.
Ironically, nobody gets tired of those three.
This DVD doesn't particularly matter to me, but it's nice to see Prime Bumblebee get some more recognition after Predacons Rising I suppose.

Why are they ending TF prime? This show was good and had plenty of potential for more seasons. Don't tell me 'the HUB' wants this show off the schedule so they can make room for more re-runs of 'Jem and the Holograms'. And with the 4th movie (and it's toys) on the horizon - are we to think it's mere coincidence that TF prime is off the air and hype for the new movie is on the rise?
And TFA was cancelled just before Dark of the Moon came out. Once, you might say 'bad luck' - twice? You gotta say - it's a calculation.
Because they wanted to end on 65 episodes since before the show was created, they used up all of their story material, they felt the way they ended it was satisfactory enough, they were done making it, they didn't want the show to stagnate, they want to do something else now, etc. etc.Shock[/quote]wave7 wrote:Why are they ending TF prime?
Not when everything they had planned for it got eaten up by the end of season 2. Predacons Rising wasn't even new material, it was just a retread of Unicron's story and existing stuff from the novels.Shockwave7 wrote:This show was good and had plenty of potential for more seasons.
The Hub had nothing to do with it. Hasbro Studios felt they reached beyond their goal enough and were done with it.Shockwave7 wrote:Don't tell me 'the HUB' wants this show off the schedule so they can make room for more re-runs of 'Jem and the Holograms'.
EVERY Transformers show ended before the next big thing came along. That's how the business model works. They do one thing for one or two years, and then move on the the next project.Shockwave7 wrote:And with the 4th movie (and it's toys) on the horizon - are we to think it's mere coincidence that TF prime is off the air and hype for the new movie is on the rise?

Yes, I was responding to TK415.

Look, I get it, Hasbro targets their products to children. Children like Bumblebee. A parent (and or a casual consumer) may be more likely to buy a Bumblebee DVD rather than a Transformer Prime DVD. I don’t have a problem with Hasbro making money or targeting their main audience. But, as an adult collector I can have the opinion that there is an over saturation of Bumblebee.
When I saw the news about the DVD I laughed, I wrote what I wrote, and then I didn’t let it bother me again. Good for Hasbro for thinking of a way to effectively target their audience. Also, the more money they make, the more product they will produce, which could be good for me. I had decent sarcasm, I would think that “Flip their lids” was not an accurate description of my post. I can agree that there is a lot of hate for Bumblebee out there, which bothers me. But we can still laugh at Hasbro’s actions.
Additionally, I thought Prymestriker’s following comment was excellent and one that I hadn’t thought about recently: “I personally find a lot of things more annoying than Bumblebee. I can't seem to fathom all of his spite, especially when he's about as common a character as Optimus, Megatron, and Starscream at this point."
For me, I have no spite for Bee. I just don’t like over saturation of any character. Twelve shelves of Starscream for six months would be a problem for me. When the Star Wars prequels came out I enjoyed reading novels about Yoda, Mace, and others. I didn’t want to read 10 novels about Anakin. Sure you can have main characters, just as long as they aren’t the only characters. So, is a Bumblebee DVD a problem? No. Can we laugh about it? Yes.

No problem, thank you for your kind response. You regularly have good points, and I agree that too much negativity really does get in the way. This also reminds me that tone and intent are not always clear in posts.PrymeStriker wrote:Thank you for your kind and reasonable response.

I understand your POV, but after 65 episodes watching series with such small cast, you may have enough of any character from first seazon, maybe except for Wheeljack. Beast Hunters proves that creators have enough of Bulkhead and Arcee, But there is a lot of Bumblebee, Knock Out and Starscream too. Even if we consider that all three of them start to change before series finale.PrymeStriker wrote:TurboMMaster wrote:1) Almost entirely new cast, characters from Prime returns only via cameo
I disagree with this. They practically left an open door for Bumblebee to be the star of the next series in Predacons Rising. I also don't believe we'll be shaking Bulkhead & Arcee anytime soon. And with Optimus gone, the logical choice for a replacement "leader" is Ultra Magnus.
To be honest, I would love to see that KO don't fits Autobots at all and either betray them, or beign kicked out. Is there really need in Autobot team for an opportunist and a coward?PrymeStriker wrote:I agree with this. Knock Out can replace Ratchet as the medic for the Autobots on Cybertron.
A perfect situation for new Overlord to emergeWith Megatron out of the question, Knock Out a member of the Autobots, Soundwave in the Shadowzone, and Starscream probably target practice for the Predacons, I don't think any returning Decepticons will want to continue the legacy. Especially when Megatron himself officially disbanded the Decepticons, in all of their loyalty to him.
After millenia of destructive warfare and later exile from their homeworld, no doubt some of Decepticons would prefer to made a deal with Autobots. And considering their adventage, I don't see reaon why they can't keep their autonomy.Meh....
Why you think that Predacons want to KILL Starscream? Maybe humiliation is enough? I think that Predaking may keep Starscream at his court... As a jester Don't forget that he was - in some way responsible for creation of Darksteel and Skylynx. Of course Shockwave is he's main creator, but they still owns Starscream... Also, as a seaker, he maybe extremly usefull for Predaking, as a one who provide new bones, outside from Cybertron.7) Starscream lives.
Target Practice.

No.
Why not? It's perfect way to keep him "dead" and "alive" at the same time....

Great point, and absolutely true in the short term. But six years of Bumblebee oversaturation is hard to shake off, and holds true for the average of those years.Sabrblade wrote:Pretty sure the Bumblebee over-saturation has died down since the PRID line went under. I myself haven't seen a Bumblebee toy hive on the shelves since then, as the main Deluxes that now clogging the shelves appear to be BH Smokescreen, BH Starscream, BH Bulkhead, BH Lazerback, and the Wave 1 Generations toys that got re-released with the Wreckers.

For the following, I think Batman put it best when he said, "A deadly bee weapon. Bees, my God."
