The comics were different. I forget how, but Bumblebee was damaged beyond repair, so Ratchet completely rebuilt his body and made him Goldbug, his more mature form. Later on, Goldbug is off-lined (I believe) and Ratchet resurrects him as Bumblebee out of personal preference. I'm going to have to agree with Ratchet on that one, good call. Bee's just awesome, Goldbug...I was/am not ready for that transition.
you forget, in the end scene of the very last episode, when the autobots are celebrating the new golden age of cybertron, it shows bumblebee changed back to his first form. so he did survive to the end of the series.
what happend was whenever optimus prime came back to life people got infected and it made them fight eachother and bumble bee was infected so he was damaged badly and repaired and he said WOW I FEEL LIKE A GOLDBUG and thats what happend and thats why he changed his name
@ultravideos4music ur also wrong abt whn prime came back.if u look back at the 2 part episodes of the return of optimus prime.it was spores frm space tht caused the infection.it had nothing to do with prime coming back.
@PrimalWolf2006 look at the episode carefully the shit tht prime was in impacted with a metor and thts wht cause the spores to b born.whn the 2 humans rescued prime frm the shit they were all fine.the spores infected the ship tht the humans came in with.
@gilc1976 i have it on dvd, and you're forgetting 2 things, the spores weren't born at that moment, they'd been around for a long time as the ancient cybertronian tells prime in part 3
Wow! i forget how small they were in the 80's i actually prefer the modern versions, they were alot tougher back then though. The more complex transformations of modern versions are a nice trade off though.
Bumblebee was damaged fighting Superion (who was infected by the hate plague.) When Optimus asks if any Autobots were uninfected, Sky Lynx mentions a list of casulaties who needed to be repaired. The Quintesson who revived Optimus rebuilt Bumblebee as Godlbug. (In G1 cartoon, anyways)
There were only three more USA episodes after this. The 3-part Headmaster/Targetmaster series.
I got this for Christmas when I was a kid. Was the first Transformer I had as a kid. Was simple and kinda lame...but I loved it at the time.
I just wish I still had this one....and the Fortress Maximus. I begged and begged for that one....it was one of 2 presents I got that year. The other was Metroplex. 2 city Transformers was all I got...but I was certainly a happy kid!
@Saberwind45871 The comic and tv series were primarily separate "universes". The exceptions are a couple of comic adaptations of the 1986 movie and one season 3 episode.
They never told how he was damaged in "The Return of Optimus Prime." (yay!) In the comics, he was blown up by GI Joe. (those bastards!) They rebuilt him. I painted my Goldbug's back window and did a surprisingly good job!
I don't think that is the Bumblebee that was first released in 1984. If I recall correctly they didn't use rubsigns until the 85 release. In fact, the Bumblebee I remember owning had a regular Autobot symbol. I forgot how much Goldbug sucked, though. Yeesh. Makes ROTF Soundwave look useful.
whats weird is in the last few scenes of season 4 is when he was rebuilt as gold bug in the scene when they win against the decepticons they show bumble bee when everyone is celebrating idk why hasbro is retarted...they also did that with optimus prime
the hate-sporified superion attacked bumblebee, poor inocent little good guy, was compleatly damaged, so he became the sucie goldbug toy!why they didnt use the gold chrome bumblebee with the origanal diaclon head painted blue, is probably because of the throttlebot thing!
hasbro wer dumbass's back then and they should have just kept the transformation the same but iwth a new body like this! it would be perfect same body but iwth bumblebee transformation (with the head coming out the same way as this)
its not a red bumblebee, the red one is cliffjumper, bumblebees twin, cos in G1 half the cast were clones of eachother, every1 called them ''brothers'' like there starscream, thundercracker and skywarp
He's a Camaro in the movie because VW wouldn't allow them to use a Beetle in the movie since it was violent.
When Bumblebee slapped the VW door shut in the movie, that was their way of telling VW - screw you and your idiotic stance on having a VW represented in a movie.
Yeah...I agree with you....G1 Bumblebee is a nice one....I´ve got em in my TF collection too.....he is a realy nice tiny guy but I´d never understood why they don´t gave em that cute face like in the cartoon series. That realy makes me nuts.
while most of this is kit-bash stuff, hasbro/takara announce the making of an alternators bumblebee and cliffjumper and they turn into the newer volkswagon beetle
As crappy as the Trottlebots are, you have to believe that Hasbro for some reason didn't want to spend money when they went to create them. Cheaply made figures mean really cheap prices, exspecally on eBay. If ever Hasbro sees fit to bring them back, I hope they make them alot better looking then that.
Which one? G1 BB was $5 new. So was Goldbug. '77 Camaro and Concept Camaro were $9.99 retail, but I paid $22 for Concept BB off ebay back then. that included shipping.
amazing review! I really like when you show the evolution! in g1, there was the red car that was build with the same body. And today, again, there is the red cliffjumper that is buil with the same body of bumble bee... 20 years later , still the same cut and paste... ;) but bumble bee still the hottest autobot.
It looks like G1 bumblebee. but he doesnt have that rubsign and "dunlop" brand tires. but his tires are rubber.
You may have to retake this vid when the next bumblebee comes out for Animated. Though pretty much just Classics bumblebee but a little bigger and skinnier. he also has "daggers?"
Thanks, it does. I did some research and it seems it was just Takara shipping out their stock to Hasbro, and there were red Bumblebee's and Yellow Cliffjumpers in the mix. Kind of reminds me of why there are red and yellow Cybertron Scrapmetals.
Yeah that's depth charge... seibertron's been down for me since the carbombya closed. You should've started a thread saying you do these videos! you would've hd more subscribers
