    Unless I'm missing something, it technically ca be removed. Well, the barrel at least, which can be added to his gun accessory.

    I agree to an extent. I think Bumblebee has changed over the years thanks to the movies. Hell, the cartoons ditch the bouncy car look for something more akin to a muscle or sports car. And I could really care less about his car mode so long as the robot mode is solid. Whether it be a VW lookalike or a Camaro lookalike

    As far as I’m concerned my existing Deluxe Bumblebee will be hard to beat. The only think ER can offer is ankle tilts. Either way I have a nice Deluxe Bee.

    Agreed.
    I don't care about the fucking tail in bot mode.
    Form the tail out of the botmode legs or something, but don't use the tail as an excuse to make him shorter than Fort Max.

    With him having his own deluxe headmaster body now I'd be very surprised if he wasn't the same size as Fort Max or at least very close to it.

    The toy was. But in the Rebirth they were the same size. And as has been pointed out to me, this toyline is adhering to toon scale. So I hope that is not only the case when it suits Hasbro and they will attempt to recreate the comparative sizes of the two Rebirth Titans.

    To add to this, unlike Metroplex/Trypticon, Scorponok does not have a giant honking tail that needs to be accommodated in the design. His stinger is much shorter and thinner* so it won't be a huge use of plastic. There's no particular reason, as of right now, to think Scorponok will be anywhere outside of the 22"-24" range in height.


    *Insert dick joke here

    I think the idea isnt so much that it needs to be a type 1 Bettle as it is that Bumblebee should be a more rounded, less pronounced vehicle. Muscle cars like the Camaro are large and loud with hard lines to emphasize power and speed.

    Sure, the type 1 beetle isnt as common today as it was 30 years ago...but cars just like it are. The modern day hatchback fills the same need as the beetle when it comes to Bumblebee.

    Got it, and you’ve convinced me to put more weight towards a beetle like alternate mode rather than no preference at all.

    Im lying in a hotel room in japan where earlier this day i watched my country in the rwc. We won. Ive a had a few too many drinks and my typing has gone to the dogs.

    Even with the typhoon japan is an incredible country. I decided to type a few comments on my fav tf site and maybe i shouldnt.

    Sue me

    Better do some unbridled online shopping while you've still got "the touch."
