    I'm not sure what you're looking for from us, then.

    I mean, of course you're not crazy. Of course it's possible to retool that CJ mold into a BB mold. They could do it wether they used a more movie-style Bumblebee alt-mode (such as you shared) or left BB as more of a VW Beetle.

    But Hasbro said what they said. Believe it or not, it changes nothing. Either they'll do it or they won't, but yes, of course it's possible. No one's saying otherwise, beyond what Hasbro's said they'll do (or won't do).

    Nhoooooo please don't ruin 20 years if waiting with a headmaster gimmick.

    I propose no Joe figures, just Joe and Cobra vehicles. Somewhat smaller scale.

    Wave 1
    Megatron = Cobra Rage
    Hisstank = Soundwave
    Optimus = Snowcat
    Bumblebee = Vamp

    Wave 2 could include larger vehicles.

    And there's our opportunity for Hot Spot's base mode as well.

    he is not. We know that he is shorter than Wheeljack and Sideswipe. Sideswipe is 5 inches, therefore Cliffjumper must be less than 5.5 inches.

    While I agree that parts of him may be used for a hypothetical ER Bumblebee, the website also says that about all Deluxes.

    But for what it's worth, @HoneyBee86, ER Cliffjumper already has shared engineering with MP-21, so no matter what anyone says to the contrary, there is precedent for ER CJ "being" Bumblebee already.

    yeah I know it says he is 5.5 inches, but it says the same thing for Sideswipe and he is 5 inches.

    i agree I think what we think of as retool is not what Hasbro does. I am Sure a WFC bumblebee figure will share design elements with WFC Cliffjumper.

    thank you kind sir if we can put aside our scale differences we could be unstoppable :p

    Pulse also lists both Ironhide and Sideswipe as 5.5 inches, and we know for a fact Ironhide is nearly an inch taller than Sideswipe. It's just the standard size they list for all deluxes.
    Don't forget, Hasbro also said battlemasters are 5 inches.
