Minor as it may look like... But he's alive: "In which BUMBLEBEE is summoned by OPTIMUS PRIME to save Earth from a new fraction of DECEPTICONS." This info was not included in the Variety report. Also, you'll hear some more soon, as far as I know.
Hooray for proofreaders who don't know the difference between "fraction" and "faction"! Unless they are going to turn the Autobot Calculus (mentioned in one story) into a Decepticon and all the Cons will have terrible math names.
My best guess is that it's Optimus's force ghost that summons Bumblebee, because he shouldn't be physically alive.
It's noon or something in the US right? I don't think the few people with floor acess or cameras have even had lunch yet. There is usually posts of photographs of the show floor coming sooner or later. If someone who can or simply cannot report won't be there for the RID event then the same content will probably be at Botcon.
Hang on, let me get this straight... Bumblebee is going to be summoned to Earth by OPTIMUS PRIME? OPTIMUS PRIME, who DIED in Transformers: Prime: Predacons Rising? Remember, it's been confirmed that this series takes place after Transformers: Prime. Either this means there will be a huge plot hole, or a huge retcon. I personally don't like either reason, since it negates the impact of Optimus Prime's death in Predacons Rising. I am glad to hear that Generations figures will be packed with issues from Dark Cybertron. It means I have reason to buy them all (or at least the ones I can afford).
Can't wait until Botcon! Even though I won't be at the event, I'm excited to hear about any info of upcoming things for Transformers. I hope everyone attending has a blast! Also, yay Jem and the Holograms~
