2x? he needs 1x
Better yet, FORGET BUMBLEBEE
Why would Hasbro forget their biggest moneymaker? The more bee sells, the better off all tf fans will be
Because bee is a nonsense and has no reason to exist other than to annoy all fans over 3 years old

I disagree. As a kid, I thought Hot Rod and Grimlock were cooler than boring ol bee.

It is for that reason that I've tended to stay out of the live-action movie forum on here.-Kanrabat- wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:Exactly, it's far easier (and healthier) to just accept it and move on to something you enjoy thinning about.
One thing that I see often on 4chan and even here are threads whose whole point is to HATE on something or someone. Seriously, how miserable and unhappy one can be to find enjoyment in those threads?
In my youth, I did identify with Cheetor, since he was a kid like me. But unlike most of the other kid-appeal characters, he actually underwent an arc of growth and maturation over a natural period of time, growing up along with the young viewers who were watching at the time. Those who would have watched Beast Wars as teenagers would have finished Beast Machines as young adults, just like Cheetor started and finished over the course of his development arc. But I was still a kid by then, too, so, well I did still think he was cool as a kid, his arc didn't really vibe with me until I rewatched both shows as a teenager some years later.o.supreme wrote:RodimusPrimeUkraine1 wrote:william-james88 wrote:This is how my kid sees it

I was the same. As a kid in the 80s, I never identified with "kid characters", especially Bumblebee. But I and my peers must have been in the minority.

You can't disagree with the fact that this is how my kid sees it.

Who? And if you tell me he only makes bay movie customs, I'll throw a flip.

EvasionModeBumblebee. Dude seems pretty young, wouldn't be surprised if Bayverse is all they collect. You'll have to make peace with the fact that newer generations will tend to prefer newer iterarions of Transformers, lol. I'm one of the younger Beast Wars babies, and I'm getting close to my thirties. So most youngish fans are into Bayverse or Prime.

Hi there! I'm EvasionModeBumblebee and yep, I only make Bay movie customs! xD
The Bay films are what got me into Transformers and still what I'm most passionate about in TF, and getting to paint these figures up has been a total blast. I'm actually working on SS DOTM Bumblebee right now, it's my favorite design for Bee so I've been looking forward to it for a very long time! I'll post my thoughts on the figure in general this weekend when I upload the custom.
But yeah, if my profile didn't give it away, Bumblebee is my favorite character! Specifically the Bayverse version.
Also, while we're talking aboutt he newest SS deluxe wave, it's weird that Amazon still hasn't released Sideways when I've had Bee and Galvatron for a while now, and now he's showing up in stores. Hopefully Amazon sends it soon!

I think the big thing for me are the robot designs, especially from the first 3 films. I love the complexity and detail that makes them look more mechanical (and the way the parts shift as they move is so cool to see, especially on bots like Starscream). That's a big part of why Studio Series has been my favorite line, they've captured the detail and proportions of those designs excellently.
I don't want to go derailing the thread too far, but the other things I really enjoy are the action sequences (the choreography, movement, and sound design for them is just spectacular), Steve Jablonsky's amazing score, and coming from a military family I really enjoyed the military presence in the films. They filmed the movies on bases I lived on, using vehicles I got to see every now and then like the F-22 and CH-53. They used actual military service members for parts of the films, one of my robotics team mentors on base voiced one of the F-22 pilots in the 07 movie, and they reused one of his lines in DOTM.
It was also what introduced me to Transformers, so there's a lot of nostalgia there for me as well!

You have me intrigued here. HOW in the 9 Hells are these movies related to religion? Especially Christianity?

Well, if your religion forbid you to see anything dirty, better give up on any and all entertainment and join a monastery.
Still, we all feel free to cringe at these "jokes", religion or not.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In the first movie, Sam guilt-tripped his teacher into giving him an A- on his very poorly-done genealogy report by saying "What would Jesus do?"
In Revenge of the Fallen, Epps tried to have a profound moment by wondering the following about Optimus: "You gotta wonder, if God made Man in His image, who made him?"
And in Age of Extinction, the Autobots and their three human allies hide out in an old abandoned church before infiltrating KSI.
I think that's everything, but I might be forgetting some things.

Still, a bit too often for comfort the Bay movies went full Freddy Got Fingered.
Especially in Revenge of the Fallen.
