If I was a betting man I'd be betting on Bumblebee.

Very nice! Either Jazz or Bumblebee will be a big step towards completing the original 84 cast.
I hope it's Bumblebee and finally Spike can have his proper ride

I'd be very likely to join you in that bet; I can't believe it, but I'm actually kind of excited now at the prospect of an MP Bumblebee - Never would've thought that I'd have that feeling!

If VW have indeed come to the party, Jazz, Stepper and perhaps a Bumble and Cliff two-pack would be veeery welcome.

Bumblebee probably would make sense if they were going for a big name for number 20.

(I just find it ironic that after all these years of Bumblebee-flooding of the toyline, people are actually excited about another Bumblebee coming out )

Hopes its bumblebee, he would look amazing with Optimus on display and with other autobots. Jazz also. But we also need ratchet and ironhide.

[Ultra Mackness]

If they did release Bumblebee, would they think of releasing a two pack, one of his cybertronian mode from Ep1 of the G1 cartoon along with a VW alt mode bot? This could mean that the sizes would be smaller and keep Bee in scale.

I wonder why they havent gone with the ironhide/ratchet onebox yet. They've got the Nissan deal with the Datsun brothers and the GT-R's, one or two more from Nissan wouldn't hurt. Repaint value's there.

Yep, it is a very weird & somewhat conflicting feeling.
I just rationale it to there being a multidimensional-sized distance/difference between G1 Bumblebee & Movieverse Bumblebee.

Hopefully Hasbro won't ruin a good thing by releasing a slew of superfluous redecos like MP Shadow Strike Bumblebee, MP Stealth Bumblebee, MP Night Attack Bumblebee, MP Jungle Combat Bumblebee, MP Herbie the Love Bug Bumblebee etc.! Any variants should be done as a limited exclusive, as they've done with other MP variants in the past (e.g. MP Bug Bite etc.)

+1 QFT!
