FAO Schwarz Celebrates 150 Years - Seibertron was there

Why is Bumblebee half-transformed...? Besides that, this is pretty cool. Always nice to see G1 get honored.

EDIT: Just noticed Warpath is in there too. Why didn't he get a mention?

Probably to show anyone not familiar with the original products "Hey, these transform too! They're not just toy cars! See he's doing it right now - what a special little guy!" Probably targeted mostly to kids who grew up thinking the movie stuff was all there was.

As for Warpath, clearly his in-your-face attitude and sexual innuendos were just too much for a small toy shop like FAO Schwartz to comfortably advertise. Because FAO is so very, very small.

But, tanks are cool. So that's probably why they threw it in there

That does make sense, but considering the rest are fully transformed, you'd think they'd add some explaination or have multiple 'Bees showing the transition from robot to vehicle. It is nice to see the other 3 minibots get respect though, since in this age, everything is about Bumblebee.

Bumblebee looks like he fell over, like maybe thats an old and used toy so stuff is loose and he just keeled over and they either havent noticed yet or dont wanna bother fixing.

another thought was they just wanted to keep him on his back but then his "toes" would be pointed up if that were the case.

LOL. Eh, if I was him, I'd do it.
