I'm a big fan of those cardboard cut outs. I hope those make it into the movie!

I was reading about Bumble Bee on Wiki and found out why old Bums isn't a volkswagen in the Movie as well in other things.

"According to Hasbro designer Aaron Archer at "The Official Transformers Collectors Convention" (or OTFCC) '03, Volkswagen had refused to license an Alternator Bumblebee. Volkswagen refused to license the car, however, supposedly due to the warlike nature of the Transformers. [1] Since VW was hit hard in 2002 by a lawsuit by holocaust victims for their involvement in WWII (as a German manufacturer), VW is understandably reluctant to have its name tied to anything that could be considered a war machine. Hasbro had agreed to not give Bumblebee a gun, however, the prototype shot given to Volkswagen still had the gun present. Volkswagen were unaware that the picture was a prototype and they rejected the idea

This explains why the Bumblebee Altmode does not exist as a New VW Beetle and instead as other form cars beyond the old VW Beetle model.

Alternators Bumblebee did make one appearance in the Transformers: Timelines comic book in 2005."

I want this badboy in the movie

This was said, like, a few pages ago in this thread.

Him and Soundwave in the sequel, pls.

I don't know if I want him in there if they turn him into a fucking rocklord like the other decipticons.

I don't see how these new movie versions will work as toys - they're too complicated in design.

It was already confirmed that Gestaults will be in the sequel. And more TF's as well.

The cardboard cutouts are for the CG crew.

OH SHIT QUICK CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF

If they really want to they'll find a way, they managed to with Beast Machines and those didn't even really transform on the show. It was more of a white-light morph I think. But some kind of simplified version of them will make its way to shelves, you can bet your marketing team on that one.
