YAAAAAYYYY!!!! im so glad you liked the "Bumblebee" movie i recommended!! yay!! personally, i was super happy with his Volkswagon Bug form because, when he debuted in the og cartoon from the 80s, Bumblebee did transform into a Volkswagon Bug (which makes sense for how he got his name. "yellow Bug? lets name him Bumblebee". for a long time, he was also the smallest autobot, which befit his name). but when Hasbro was signing off on the 2007 Bayverse movie, Volkswagon was like "no, you may not use our cars" for some reason??? idfk why. so Bumblebee got to be various Chevy Camaros through the Bayverse series, which he is admittingly more famous for being. for most Transformer cartoons post-2007, its a coin-flip if Bumblebee will be a Volkswagon Beetle or if hell be a Camaro (**if** you want to watch the cartoons too, you can check his wiki if you want to prioritize his Camaro cartoons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumblebee_(Transformers) which cartoon landed on which car will be under "History". the only cartoon that chose neither a Bug or Camaro is "Transformers One", because they went with an alien idea of cars due to the movie not really taking place on Earth, but i think his car-form there errs towards Camaro while still being a not-real-looking car). that being said, i LOVED the 2007 decision to have Bumblebee talk via the radio, thats such a fun quirk. so while im a "LET BUMBLEBEE BE A BUG"-truther (not in the sense where i hate Camaro-sided media. but in the sense that im SUPER happy if his Camaro-focused media does some kind of flashback/easter-egg/temporary transformation into a Bug), i do still love several aspects of his 2007 redesign, and i LOOOOOOVE that 2018 "Bumblebee" tried to juggle certain parts of both Bumblebees' 80s (Bug, talks) and 2007 (Camaro, doesnt talk) forms into this tribute film. i like that he could shift car forms, that was fun
also?? wild that Dylan O'Brien got to voice Bumblebee in that movie. that was a very Targetted At Me decision as someone who loved O'Brien ever since i was a preteen with "Teen Wolf" and "Maze Runner" and whatnot
but yeah!! such a good movie to project yourself onto, girlie, im so super glad you enjoyed yourself, yay!!
Iโm learning so many cool nerdy facts about the transformers franchise, Iโm literally loving this.
His little radio-speech is just so iconic too!! It really does make him stand out as a characterโand then when we actually get to hear him talk in Bayverse, itโs such an impactful moment, I believe he stutters a bit too in the beginning likeโฆ.pleaseโฆ..my heart.
In the Bumblebee movie when he started talking I recognized the voice instantly but could not place it until I searched it up, and it all clicked together LOL, loved the fact Dylan voiced him, it made him sound so young too
Side note, my personal favorite Bee Camaro body? The โ67 SS in Age of Extinction. I died when I saw that car, then died again when they TOOK IT AWAY. Literally was robbed, I did not care to see Chevyโs latest Camaro debut, like get that off of my screen. If I ever get rich, best believe I would buy a model copy of that revamped SS
