But I hope they don't mix too much up. I am just confused sometimes with their decisions like some others I believe. Next thing they will make the Autobots the bad guys and the Decepticons heroic
You know they won't do that. These Hollywood chums see it as too iconic to eliminate.transformers_va wrote:Too bad we're still getting that crappy Camaro Bee, and that he's probably still a main character. If they have to include him, I REALLY hope they at least finally drop that "Bee doesn't have a voice" crap
It's funny that this could be considered "iconic", as Bee was around long before the Bay movies, but I agree with you that they won't do thatSabrblade wrote:You know they won't do that. These Hollywood chums see it as too iconic to eliminate.
Was he, though? He certainly disappeared into obscurity for over a decade after Hasbro lost his name. Like it or not, the first movie is what brought Bumblebee back into prominence and made him a household name for the brand. Before then, Bumblebee was just another name in a long list of Average Joes that only the hardcore fans cared about, with his role having since been replaced by the likes of Cheetor and Hot Shot. And it was the movie version of Bumblebee that became the standout version of the character, then one that made Hasbro boatloads of money. He and his dumb voice gimmick are too valuable to Paramount for them to give up either, especially after the most recent TF movie they made was specifically for him and his gimmick. Like it or not, we're stuck with him being a poor man's E.T. in these movies all thanks to one Mr. Steven Spielberg.transformers_va wrote:It's funny that this could be considered "iconic", as Bee was around long before the Bay movies, but I agree with you that they won't do thatSabrblade wrote:You know they won't do that.
