So after re-watching the Bumblebee movie again I was curious and did a deep dive. Turns out the canyon scene at the start was severely cut down due to budget.

The original plan was for there to be the full trio of Decepticons hunting B127. Unfortunately budget caused it to be cut down to just Blitzwing and Bumblebee.

BUT as is often the case – toys were made based on these original cuts, however rare and hard to find they might be and I managed to track down a set. So here are Astrotrain and Octane in all their movie glory:

 

Man, I'm sure glad they didn't include Astrotrain and Octane in the movie, would've hated to see those classic characters all get killed off at once.

Awesome paint work on those btw! The colors look crisp and almost stock!

 

The fact you named them after the other triple changers is just glorious. Sick job, mate!  

 

Thanks!! That was what I was going for. My personal tastes probably would be nore detailed

 

Crisp work! Very clever on the names too  

 

Excellent work!

 

Thats just Skywarp and Thundercracker with extra steps.

 

These are so good! More people need to see these!

 

heheheheh

nice work

 

These are awesome, they remind me of the seekers from the rotf game

 

Ah yes, the triple changers... properly represented in the movie on their original, respective forms and colors.

...

... wait a minute. What!?

 

 

Thank you all, really proud of this project

 

I like these but also I know it would definitely upset people if they did that

 

I dig it. Especially with going through with the Seeker joke. Awesome.

 

He was totally a triple changer: Robot, Jet, Explosion!  

Fantastic work and fascinating behind the scenes info  

 

Thank you!! Just to be clear, all that behind the scenes info is absolute bullshit I made up as part of the joke

 

Oh I know, but the straight faced posting of it makes it all the better  

 

They Are Just Thundercracker And Skywarp :/
