Dunno. But logic dictate that damage on the vehicle should carry on to the bot mode. For the sake of consistency.

It comes from them looking at Josh Nizzi's concept art instead of the movie. At least he's not out yet so it's a good time to tell Hasbro "Wrong, do it again."

Think aoe leader prime would have something to say about that, least thunderblast can't form a boat if you remove her from her shell
Of course she can, she contributes nothing to the boat.
She contributes part of the prow. But to be fair, the likes of Big Convoy and AoE Leader Prime are just as much shellformers as she is. And unlike the latter, Thunderblast has style and charm to her. She can also pose:

And I love her because of that. It's silly, yes, but it's one TF that I'll never get rid of.

AoE Galvatron is a better analogy to T-Blast than Big Convoy and AoE leader Optimus. Him too, his shell is just a huge single block that fold on his back. Only his legs stick out. Still ove him to bits though.

Did they even transform in the movie? And Hasbro would have no reason to go back and restart from square one.

Also the COST. A company will never scrap something that is almost at the end of the assembly line for frivolous reasons. Especially if the thing have to be remade from square one.

Yes, they did. They arrived in vehicle mode then transformed to robot mode and shot up a bunch of Nazis.

He's a lot of fun, a clever transformation, a neat vehicle mode, but I still don't think he's the right color, it looks like he's wearing a onesie

It literally changes nothing, so there's no need to worry about it.

Some of these redesigns are so sick that would be shame if dont get a toy or two from them.

I'd love to see those designs in plastic form, but probably not because we can't have nice thingsTulioDude wrote:Does anyone think we will have toys from the scenes on Cybertron of The Bumblebee movie?

To be fair though, the new Siege line is pretty much just that

And now we know what Siege is scaled to

The set consists of a redeco of VW Alt Mode Bumblebee and slight redeco of Bumblebee from his The Last Knight toyline release. Its interesting to note that the VW Beetle Bee is the sane as the recently announced Takara Studio Series exclusive "Rusty" VW Bee.
The double pack is currently retailing for $39.99. The folks over at fellow Transformers fan site TFW2005 have also reported that the codes for this set have been registering in some Targets in store systems as being in stock, so there's a chance you may even be able to find this set in store.









Also we have some good news for Australian fans as this set has also appeared online at the Kmart website! The set is retailing currently for 45AUS$ and is a great chance for Australian fans to snap up this set.
What do you think about this set? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.
