    This must be before BB movie was declared a soft reboot.
    It was pitched for a prequel originally.

    It's probably even before Travis was brought on board.

    Yeah, that's a good point. Outside of the TLK connection, there's no real point in the character having a hammer. Once they starting steering away from TLK, they probably just omitted it.

    They also omitted his missile launchers. Early concepts had missile launches on his chest and arms, and neither appear in the film.

    Cute. I'm sure someone's going to make an accessory. Maybe one of the groups working a good movie Bee.

    Dr. Wu is probably already creating a prototype.

    Bee slamming Volkswagon shaped indentations on his foes would be a pretty funny concept....was that whole hammer thing a nod to his Hearts of Steel design?

    The idea that an alien would care (or even know) enough about car brands to put a logo on its weapon is so fucking stupid to me lol. Kinda similar in stupidity to Bayverse bots making a point of the car manufacturer’s logo appearing on their chest.

    Who's to say that's not just how the transformation worked out? Or simply that the designers thought it would be cool? They said as much. What here implies that it's supposed to be a conscious in-universe choice?

    That would really be a hilarious slap in the face to VW after they’re okay with their products being associated with war. Bumblebee just about to pound Shatter and she sees the VW logo before she dies.

    Let’s think about this. The chest is typically formed by the front of the car. The logos are typically on the front of cars.

    Wow. My mind is blown.

    At the core of the franchise, the Transformers are robots that turn into cars (and other stuff). It's arguably a bigger part of the brand identity than playing up their alien side. I don't see anything wrong with fun details like this, it just helps tie them to their alternate modes even further (even if it is product placement).
