Irony: Fans are now looking forward to Bumblebee repaints! :p
I never had a problem with repaints/retools same as Seekers. The problem is the movie Bumblebee toys are excessive.Quote:

Added the fact that G1 is best lol. But MP Bee mold repaints? I can live with that. Considering a number of us have the various Sideswipe mold releases and Seeker releases, myself included. But the key difference is these are different characters instead of just different versions of the same Bee.Quote:

Har! Very nice :DQuote:

Odie: I wish this was done for Classicsverse! I really disliked that phase that Hasbro went through when they would repaint Bumblebee red and call it Cliffjumper (which was annoying considering that G1 Bumblebee (and Cliffjumper) were both available in red and yellow; a red Bumblebee was still Bumblebee!). I'm personally glad that Hasbro's moved away from this now -- giving us a retooled head for Animated Cliffjumper, but I was especially impressed that Transformers Prime Cliffjumper was an entirely different design. Yes! :D
As far as MP Bumblebee is concerned, the only redeco potential would be for Bug Bite, Glyph and Volks. Cliffjumper and Hubcap (and Carrera) are Porsche 924s, and would require far more extensive retooling than just a variant head. :o Likewise Bumblejumper (and Optimus Sedan & Robocar Sedan) are Mazda 323s
You should make the interior pink.Quote:
