Now that's a repaint I wouldn't have minded, and might have actually bought. Although I would rather get an accurate version of G1 Hound.

We may get a SS86 Hound or something. With that Bee, I want to make a Bayverse Hound as he should have been. What we got in AoE and TlK was BULKHEAD, not "Hound". Stupid marketing suits deciding random things...

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Wasn't Animated Bulkhead inspired by Hound in the first place? If anything it's kinda roundabout.

I'm pretty sure Animated Bulkhead pre-dates Age of Extinction, so I don't think that is possible unless I'm missing something. Animated Bulkhead had a voyager toy in 2008, well before the movies with Hound.

It is theorized that this strange Bumblebee redeco with no onscreen precedence was probably supposed to be a Universal Studios exclusive (what with TF: The Ride being the only thing left that still pushes the Autobots' partnership with N.E.S.T., which hasn't been a thing since DOTM ten years ago), but that Covid may have rerouted it to the main line instead.o.supreme wrote:I am not a SS collector, so I may be off a bit, but wasn't the original intent to have representations of characters as close to their on screen appearance as possible? I mean I know there have been deviations both as characters that never appeared in film, or color/design variants that didn't as well. It seems each time this happens there's pushback from fans for good or ill. If Hasbro I think would just state publicly what we all know they are doing, even if that changes the original intent of the SS line, I think it would at least subside most of the negative chatter that comes from quick repaints. You may lose some collectors, but at least the same argument won't happen endlessly.

For some reason that just hit me like a bucket of cold water. DoTM was 10 years ago. A decade ago. I still remember going to BotCon 2011 and getting a sneak preview of it. And then seeing in theaters 3 times. Time flies.Sabrblade wrote:since DOTM ten years ago

I think it was more that it was a grey Bumblebee from the jeep mold, not that it was another bee.

I was there too. I was screaming at the top of my lungs over Waspinator's fan-voted victory at the 2011 Hall of Fame. I even managed to buy a Telemocha Series Waspinator and paraded it around the next morning, proclaiming his rightful victory loud and proud.o.supreme wrote:Nice I attended Botcon 2011 as well. My son was 5 and seeing most of the Autobot cars from DOTM there was pretty cool. ( Even if the movie itself wasn't great) I still have pics and video of his reactions..Priceless .

Well it was basically the 1st 5 minutes of the movie with no dialogue (I can't remember if it had background music) followed by some fast cuts of action scenes from the movie. Then Michael Bay's horrible acceptance speech (and I sat 2 seats away from him in the audience, right behind Brian Goldner) followed by the character inductions, which were the best part. At least that's the order I remember. It was a decade ago.Sabrblade wrote:the DOTM sneak peak at the Hall of Fame was incredible (alas, that's all from that movie that I can say was "incredible").
