Movie Bumblebee is heavily inspired by Mega Man

Examine the design of the helmet and presence of the arm cannon.

The shape is similar to Mega Man's, while the Autobot symbol is in the place of the red crystal in Mega Man's helmet.

The design does feature some notable differences (other than the large increase in complexity mandated by Hollywood), such as the shape of the boots.

that's a bit of a leap to make. perhaps a better title might be 'movie bumblebee reminds me of megaman'

all that they have in common is a round head with something on the forehead, and a gun on their arm. come on! he doesnt have any more in common with megaman than he does say with robocop 3: http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0107978/Robocop3_PUB01.jpg

prime has a crest on his head and prominent abs and pecs and the same shaped sword as leonidas, but that doesn't mean i'm going to claim that his design was heavily inspired by 300

there's no proof of him being inspired by megaman, or X. he has a similarly shaped "helmet", but many robots do. many other transformers do. the autobot symbol is on his forehead, but that's just a typical design choice, and X isnt the first robot to have a forehead jewel anyways. arm cannon? megaman isnt the first robot to have one.
and the boots? there's no similarity there at all. and megaman's boot design is taken from astro boy.

you're really, really stretching. there's no real similarities at all.

Bumblebee should have been able to shoot Brawl with Barricade's W. Yo-Yo if that were the case. Then he could have taken down Megatron with Brawl's B. Missile.

Michael Bay may not have raped my childhood, but I think he may have molested it.
