Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

[Undead Scottsman]

Didn't they stick Ironhide into Ratchet at one point in the toon? Not to mention Cosmos flying around with a non-transformed Blaster. It's best to ignore "But character A fit inside character B" when translating these designs to physical objects.

Bumblebee literally drives into Wheeljack's altmode, while in his own altmode, which is way, WAY wider than his botmode due to the wings. You ain't getting that as a deluxe or even a voyager.

So you're telling me Cybertronian Wheeljack is gonna be a Commander?

Nay. A Titan.

No, GOD CLASS!!!

Wheeljack will be a new Clown class, where his alt-mode, due to more cost-cutting, is the same size as Origins Jazz, but fits Bumblebee, Jazz, Ratchet, Ironhide IN Ratchet, Cosmos, Blaster, and Trypticon all inside him at once, and then HE will drive out of Optimus Prime's trailer with several other full-sized Autobots, while the trailer was in Astrotrain. Or he would have had Devestator, who was already in there, not stepped on it. Whoopsie.

And Optimus Prime's trailer inside Astrotrain is pulled not by Optimus himself but instead by Huffer, who is in turn driven by Hoist.

If Bumblebee won't fit inside Wheeljack, then Wheeljack should come with a Bumblebee in Alt-mode that will fit.

Wouldn't be the first time that sort of thing has been done.

 

[Sciflyer]

^ I like that idea. Instead of a blast effect or somesuch, they could include a little UFO Bumblebee, and a storage feature for Wheeljack's alt mode. I honestly wouldn't mind paying the Voyager-tier cost if they were willing to do something like that.

Looks like we'll have to campain for a commander class Huffer now, just so that we can recreate the scene where Hoist is inside of his cab mode!

I still find it amazing that in this era anyone confidently says "no" about anything.

 

[Lobjob]

Imma just throw this here. Obviously this doesn't transform, but like, to claim making one that does is unattainable? I don't think so.

 

[Dake]

That does point out the real problem though - to have that much interior volume means almost the entire bot has to fit in the front end. He'd be a heck of a shell-former.

 

[Superomegaprime]

Shellforming isn't to bad at times, depending how its handled, but in this case, I think maybe they could have Wheeljack be something a kin to G1 Rodimus, where you have a seperate vehicle that is likely the robot mode legs and the compartment opens up into a work station/battle platform and you detach the weapon to put another figure inside of it.

All this time, Wheeljack was a secret Prime!

Likely the LOST Prime or one of the 13 reincarnated as Wheeljack, Solus, maybe?

Wheeljack will get a modern toy with a battle sled before Ironhide.

 

[Dake]

It is enough to make you wonder if the Cybertronian mode for Wheeljack was originally supposed to be Ratchet maybe, then they switched it up somewhere (I'm sure I'm not the first to think that).

Techinally Ironhide had one already, but instead of it being the base of the vehicle mode, its the roof!

 

[Platypus Prime]

Wheeljack could have a 'trailer' that opens to reveal a burning, flaming wreckage-I mean, workshop...

And the next Weapons/Accessories Pack could come with him! That part I'm semi-serious on, it would make sense that he'd be handing out gear. The gear would be on FIRE, sure, but still!
