I'm loving Bumblebee. :)

"Harsh as it sounds -- and balanced against what else we know could be happening right now -- these three, ultimately... are acceptable losses."

Yay for fiction with 'real' stakes.

It'd help if the preview images were a bit larger for the text... I think a lot of people haven't/couldn't actually read what's there...

Well, it was a bit tricky mayhaps, but only those that are visually impaired would have had great difficulty reading it.

Or if you've got a giant monitor with supremely large resolution of course.

What do you think Bumblebee's voice sounds like when his hologram talks? Are you hearing BB talk or his hologram talk with a convincing female voice? Just wondering, 'cos I can't make up my mind!

I'm hearing a female voice, a caricature of an ultra-peppy woman.

Gah. But his holo-matter is pretty cute...

I think he's talking with his usual voice around Ratchet -- something that fitted would be picked for dealing with other humans. Around the humans plus Ratchet... probably female, out of consideration. But there's a small chance not, because the TFs haven't exactly mastered facial expressions on their holograms...

Maybe someone'll mention switching of voices later on. (Just as I liked the way Furman pre-empted the "why are humans going in?" bit with BB saying they couldn't risk invasive scanning -- lest it set off boobytraps or alarms -- or use the holo-tech.)
