I need to go to Ebay and buy me a Bug Bite. I didn't originally because I was holding out for an actual VW version, but that's probably never going to happen.

Who knows with the new SS version.

That's true. It's not quite a VW, but closer than the Cliffjumper mold. Like I said in the SS thread, I'm not too interested in that toy as Bumblebee due to having other Bees, but I would love it in multiple other Bumblebee-adjacent character colors.

to me it feels like that mold is intentionally designed to be able to get repurposed for a lot of small autobot cars. Not just Cliffjumper, I could see them getting most the Throttlebots out of it as well with minor remolding. Feels like any design with bumper feet and a Cab/roof chest could be used without much alterations.

I am super-excited to see what set this is from; hoping for Pathfinder and Small Foot, then we just need a new Powerglide mold for Bad Boy (though it would be amusing to me if they used the CW mold).
There was a blue and white (rather than white and blue) OSKO Combiner Wars Powerglide that was released a while ago. It's my stand-in for either Bad Boy or that Cobra Rattler bot that was never released outside the US...

I now done with all of Tidalwave's modes, with the combined ship mode, you got to partsform, which is different from the original toy, also, his robot mode head, for alt mode, you simply turn it around and the chest plate moves to cover it up, yet if you lift him up, you can see his head as it has nowhere to store unlike the original! Another lost feature is the lift that was for the Minicon, the control tower flips up instead of being on a slider joint, thus it flips into his arm for storage while on the other side, a panel flips up and down for the Aircraft carrier mode. One of the parts for Megatron comes with seperate little cannons that you attach, thus they can move around freely, the dome parts I mentioned in my previous post are gun placements for if he was "REAL" he would likely can Decepticons inside of him using them, the big cannons on his chest aside from being able to hold Blast effects can detach as they come packed seperate from the main robot, he has some what moving hands with a thumb that recreates the original toy look!

Overall, he is impressive, I haven't messured him against any other bots YET, but he is definely BIG, thou I found a nice place to put him and he currently got his guns trained on Legacy Armada Op and my Planet X FOC Grimlock, well the upper guns, of his chest while one of the lower ones are pointing at Planet X FOC Swoop and no, Swoop doesn't see nothing, he leaning back as if he trying to dodge the fire but that mostly due to what he stood upon, currently! 😁

I'm hopeful and rather expecting that DNA will do a kit for him that will include a Ramjet. Maybe even replacement parts so he can be stored in the arm like the original.

Honestly, I'd have just been good had they "missing linked" the original toy and given it knees. That's all I really needed.

It's very likely that they will, given they made a Drill-Bit for Metroplex.

It looks like Gears has picked out his Halloween costume and he wearing a mask to hide his idenity!

In seriousness, that has to be the lamest repaint/retool that I seen to date

I don't hate it, but I always forget E-Hobby Small Foot is just "Sherbet Flavored Gears". Then again, going accurate just makes her Inverse Gears, so there's no real winner on a deco here.
