    In 5 years,they'll need a second article to cover all of them. In 10 years,they'll be able to fill an entire book.

    Those prototypes are ridiculously cool. Makes me want to start an eco-friendly 3rd party company and craft wood transformers :D

    Is that "Special Interview Part 1" with all the screencaps basically just a long-winded explanation as to why they couldn't include all 11 variant head shapes from the animation in the new MP?

    ...but seriously, it's interesting to see all of these together, including the nod to his Goldbug incarnation...and the prototypes.

    On page 29 (the page with Submarine Animated Bee at the top left), what is the one in the center of the page from 2012?

    I’m fairly certain it’s the Takara version of Prime Weaponizer Bumblebee

    Thank you! As a collector of Goldbug and homages thereof, I sort of wish I had looked for this. It's never too late, though....

    [checks tfwiki]

    Gatling Bumblebee? Hmm....

    [searches eBay and sees clearer pictures]

    ...but given the going price, and the fact that other than the car bits, he's still bright yellow rather than gold, I'll cross him off the list.

    These cassette prototypes are so interesting. That’s the kind of stuff I want to be done eventually.

    Also, Amazing Yamaguchi Optimus Prime is... well, amazing. Probably the best looking joints on a Revoltech figure yet.

    I feel like that time Louis CK kept asking Donald Rumsfeld if he was a lizard, and Rumsfeld refused to answer, over and over; which only convinced Louis he really as a lizard.

    SO....CAN SPIKE SIT INSIDE BUMBLBEE??? Or does he just stand there with the door open posing like he's getting in or out?? Every time I ask, I get ignored. Nobody has given me a straight answer. Personally I don't see how he can possible fit.

    Can Spike fully sit inside Bumblebee???
