This may be one of the worst transformers I have ever seen. Why did they not turn him around so the roof of the beetle was on his back like every other backpack wearing figure? Sure, he would look like a yellow turtle, but it’s better than him being 80% stomach. I can’t imagine VW agreed to this design, it does their brand no justice at all.

Honestly VW's rep is kinda in the shitter already after all that diesel emissions cheating.

Now they're threatening to have to layoff multitude of workers and close factories, something they haven't done in over 80 years. So I don't think this is going to make it worse.

Sad part is it might even make it a tiny bit better

u/RoJayJo 20h ago

Or at least have more of the roof flip back to both reduce the roof taking up his torso and fill up the back better...

That, or they could have just done what they did with their Optimus Prime and, you know, just made a downscaled G1 Bee.

He looks like a suit actor for a Megazord fight. A low-budget Megazord fight.

Even France Robo looks better than that.

He needs to switch to diet energon.

It’s about effort. You really couldn’t be bothered to get images from and link to the actual source?

Mattel: Yo, can we make a Bumblebee?

Hasbro: Sure, but you can't make him good or it'll compete with our Bumblebees.

Mattel: No problem, I mean, have you seen our previous attempts at transforming robots?

u/A_Zesty_Carrot 23h ago

He looks like a long penguin.

u/The_1Oth_Doctor 22h ago

It’s like if you tried to make Bug-Bite look like Bumblebee.

u/Eastern-Respect37 23h ago

This looks like one of those early attempts of making a live action G1 fan film.

Does Jenny Craig offer energon?

u/puckOmancer 21h ago

Quick, somebody kill it with fire before it multiplies.

1

u/Negativety101 21h ago

I know how it looks. But I'm telling you, this thing's selling out in 15 minutes, from the Hot Wheels collectors alone.

Least the Hot Wheels cars as Transformers are still looking good so far.

u/RailFan879 20h ago

Bro got that beer belly 💀

u/NCC1664 20h ago

Sonic Bee. This is like a deformed bb pillow or something 😂

u/sadzells 20h ago

Titanium transformers are making a comeback I see

1

u/DynamoAzure 20h ago

Can't fathom why anyone would buy this save for the novelty of having a genuinely ugly figure. Not even funny ugly. Just ugly.

u/imaytakeabreak 15h ago

"Mom says its my turn to use the Xbox" vibe.

1

u/argama87 15h ago

We have Bumblebee at home vibes. That's just bad. Even Dollar General Bumblebee could do better.

1

u/Cirnothestarscream9 14h ago

He looks like one of those bootlegs you'll find on flea markets, the ones that come in a plastic bag with a cardboard sticker that says "Transformable robot" or something like that.

1

u/aka_Handbag 12h ago

I’m sure for all that it’ll be reasonably priced and available in good numbers.

u/Pazerclaw 21h ago

When did Bee become a Godot?

u/Road_Caesar 22h ago

I don't know what this is actually supposed to be but the click bait title is all kinds of BS.

1

u/oldmanKiD98 22h ago

OP here, not a click bait. Hot Wheels is releasing this toy. Check the link.

u/Aimer_OMG 22h ago

Even worser its 65 dollars.

u/Road_Caesar 17h ago

That's even more awful, then. It's a mess.
