For some reason, this Honda bike reminds me of Bumblebee. Especially the headlight. It looks like his head from the new TF animated. What do you think?

You're dead on. Looks just like "arcee stalkin" animated BB.

I always thought Bumblebee would have looked better as a bike anyway. There aren't many bikes in G1, it would help mark BB as the smallest bot, and his relationship with Spike could have been similar to Scott Trakker and T-Bob.

Nice, that's very nice. He'd make a good bike, however I'm more partial to his G1 and 07 movie looks.

Yep, looks like him. Being a bike would help with the whole scout/spy thing a lot easier than a car in my opinion.
But I still like the car versions of him more. Who can resist a cute Beetle or a hot Camaro?

I wish they'd do most of the WWII TFs - maybe pair them with some of the new 2" GIJoe figures.
The comic was crap, but the original designs were great.

Looks like Energon Highwire's alt mode. Someone get the Delux Energon Highwire and make a Bumblebee kitbash... NOW!
If you can attach a new G1 head (I hate Movie Bumblebee's head) to Highwire, sand off the Mini-con/Autobot (should be Mini-con but I think the Delux version actully has Autobot symbols on it, I gotta look at mine again if I can find it.) symbols and paint it to look like that bike I would SO buy that from you.
Head has to be able to retract and pop up easily though. The head on mine doesn't even come out all the way so Highwire is useually headless most of the time.
