    I don't remeber, guess I'm oblivious right now but this is the only stinger I remember, but it was never used.

    Yes, but actual bees have stings and sting people. Hence 'Stinger'. It's not a great leap.

    I wasn't talking about Bumble Bee the character. I'm saying actual bees have stingers on their bodies that's how they sting us and is why they named a Bee clone Stinger

    edit: nevermind mttyns got it

    Yeah.

    Well yes, obviously but my bad I should've been more clearer.

    Yeah except the name isn't stinger so this is just random concept art.

    Head doesn't look like it goes with the body either.

    Being a suit who barks orders and berates the heroes doesn't make you a bad^$$; Simmons and Galloway served pretty much the same function in the first two movies. I'd say Mearing was arguably more competent than either of those two, but bad^$$? Hardly.

    Having "moments" doesn't make you a bad^$$, either. Mikaela had "moments" too; doesn't mean the character was bad^$$ (this is the same character whose biggest conflict in the second film was getting Sam to say 'I Love You', and if she'd been in the third one SHE'D have been the one the giving Sam his 'lucky bunny' and getting kidnapped by Dylan - granted, she'd also be the one calling Megatron 'Sentinel's B****', but that's not bad^$$, either; that's just being honest).

    Thank you! Like you said they were given roles in the film but they weren't bad ass.

    My headcanon is that Widow Maker is based on Joshua's ex-girlfriend.

    I doubt Stinger was feminine in his design process. Widow Maker there was just for fun.

    Besides the totally out of place head.. the design would work in Bayformers as a female Decepticon.
    I think you could use one of the more robotic alt. heads, maybe the one with horns.. and it'd work... maybe.

    Dunno if I'd call her badass, but she deffinitely felt, unlike Cinamon and Gallons, like she actually had authority, and not like she was desperately trying to grab hold of whatever she could to make up for being insecure. She was serious and legitimately in-charge. But nah, not "badass."

    I also don't know if Carly herself was a badass, but walking up to a spooky scary skellingtub like Megatron takes guts, even if he's hoboken and kind of out of it.

    God that thing is ugly. And not like creepy ugly, just a fucking atrocious design. How did ANYONE think that this was a good idea?

    People said that about the majority of the 'bots in AoE (especially Galvatron), but look at what they did.

    The design with her hair covering her eye is nice.
