New pics of Movie Bumblebee design (SPOILERS, duh)

This time, it's both of his modes, 1970 and 2006 Camaros, plus his weapons...

Must say, if BB is so armed to the (non-existent) teeth, I wonder how many weapons Ironhide or Brawl will have?

The head (especially the helmet) is really bad. Nothing like BB at all, looks more like a Stormtrooper to me. And I still don't see how this transformation is even remotely possible... ah well, at least they let BB yellow, unlike poor Ironhide who has Trailbreaker's alt mode and colors...

I know what I dont like about these new robot modes, u cant tell what they transformed from in the first place.

Most TF designs, when in robot form, have parts of thier alt forms showing to such an extent u can tell that they were a car, a plane or somthing else etc... these new TF robot forms are just to far removed.

Whilst I think the robot designs are rather cool, I dont see how they are TF.

oh well

that's exactly my problem with them too. whilst they are (mostly) quite good robot designs... they are not transformer designers at all.
the only hope of redemption for these designs are the toys themselves, which aren't going to be able to reproduce the level of complexity in the transformations and so will have to have more alt-mode parts in robot mode (hopefully).

and since when has BB had huge [composite word including 'f*ck'] off gatling guns? did he pinch them off rhinox or soemthing?

Great robots yes. Too bad this fella dun' look much like Bumblebee...

A more suitable head would have been nice, and perhaps only the arm-cannon, the shoulder-guns are a bit too hard-core for poor lill' ol' Bumblebee.

BB has more guns then sixshot - I guess the idea that a bumble bee is heavily armed was considered a good reflection of his name...

Overarticulation.

Over-[composite word including 'f*ck']-articulation.

How the hell is some kid going to transform a toy of these guys? What's Hasbro thinking?

All these bots have too many exposed gears and levers, and like I said before, they all look like General Grievous and his henchmen with those light-rod thingies.

Armoured Core 4 on the X360 looks better...

that is not a Transformer from the new Movie by the way, even tho they look similar.

I think the design is pretty cool. I can tell it's supposed to be Bumblebee even though it's radically different from the comic/cartoon version.

I'm honestly looking forward to the movie. **** knows when it's going to come out here, but I still look forward to seeing it.

**** man, im doing a degree in industrial design and if I showed anyone that BB robot design and claimed it was like a TF or even looked liked the old BB TF in anyway I would be laughed off stage.

The only thing it has in common are, two tiny horns and the colour yellow.
