Custom Activator Bugbite from Patrol Bumblebee

[Paulbot]

Has anyone else considered putting a Decepticon sticker on the Activator Patrol Bumblebee and calling him Animated Bugbite?

Some custom that Kyle linked me to. Nice, init? Click the image to see the original forum thread.

I'd like to see a Wasp custom using Activator BB as the main figure. I was a bit disappointed that Hasbro went for a totally different look for the toy version of the character...Even the box art shows his cartoon self looking totally different - Maybe he befriends Black Arachnia and she gets him mutated with organics? That would be kinda cool and make me happier about the toy, anyhow. :p

The Animated Wasp toy is based on Waspinator - which is basically what Wasp becomes... hence why he talks like Waspinator and has his colours etc. at the end of the "Autoboot Camp" episode... it was always obvious that Wasp was destined to become Waspinator. I'd say that he will appear as Waspinator in Season 3. The Wasp you're referring to is basically his Cybertron form - so I'm not sure if that would really be worth doing as a toy if he's going to appear as Waspinator for the majority of his appearance in the show. If they did do it as a repaint of Activator Bumblebee, I do hope that they would retool the mould to at least give him a different head. Wasp's head always did look like Waspinator.

It was alsways obvious that a Cybertronian car turns into a bug? :confused:

[Paulbot]

Split my random thought and the follow ups to its own thread as it wasn't suited to the review thread.

And an Activator Wasp would be a nice kitbash too from that toy.

I assume because it's mostly white repainting it would be easier than using a normal Activator Bumblebee.

No, I meant that once we saw Wasp take on the "Waspinator" persona - complete with the voice and mannerisms - at the end of "Autoboot Camp" then it became obvious that Wasp was basically Animated Waspinator (whether he'll adopt the name Waspinator or continue to call himself Wasp remains to be seen).

Now that is cool! :)

But it looks like he's been spending way too much time infront of the tele... :D

I was hoping that Wasp might get a few episodes to star in in Season three, to hopefully see him "transform" into a more BW Waspinator form (a la the new toy for Waspinator). Was thinking that BA might have something to do with it.

But with all the new characters slated to appear in the third season, I dont know if there will be enough time for anything like that to happen...

Perhaps the Animated comics will cover Wasp(inator) if the cartoon doesn't?

I could live with that. Dario Brizuela's art is fantastic in the Arrival series.

[Paulbot]

Is Brizuela the one that drew the Oil Slick story? If so I agree.

I believe Brizuela has drawn most of the animated series, he drew all of issue #1, but has then been responsible for the first story in both issues #2 and #3.

The art for "Bots of Science" which is the Oil Slick story was not done by Brizuela, It was done by someone else (Can't remember who, but I think they have done work with the mosaic Project before).

Liam Shalloo needs a mention for his excellent colours throughout the series.
