    I am a-ok with the way Travis Knight has his head aside from the weird mouth thing. He's very expressive. I just wish it translated better to the toys.

    I think they should stick with the Bumblebee head. It's a little different from the Bay movies, but enough so the casual moviegoer will still recognize that is Bumblebee. Plus, I don't have to be in a big rush to change my avatar!

    There's no reason for Bumblebee to keep the ball in socket face, he doesnt have to be mute, but if you don't want to give him a face then let him have his G1 face plate.

    Can someone photoshop Bumblebee's face into cliffjumpers helmet from the movie?

    Mass consensus seems to be "Keep as is."

    It's not particularly a bad thing. A lot of people are turned off by the humanoid faces. I personally believe they give them more character

    Just to make a point, you are aware the Daytrader design you mentioned above did not make it into the actual film? So it has no actual bearing on what is being said here?

    Yes I'm aware. But without that beard he wouldn't look that different.

    The Red Ironhide was also never meant to be seen in close-up, or designed/rigged for proper animation.

    Well to be fair these designs were put together in a hurry. The scene was put in late in development so in following movies I can see giving them more unique designs

    anything is better than what they've been using.

    I will never for the life of me understand why they went with some weird mix between a mustache and a gag ball
