Talk:Bumblebee (disambiguation)

Why the fuck do we have pictures here? This diesn't help for multiple reasons, most of which have to do with everyone getting new toys bodies every couple years that share many visual features with other guys with the same name. --FortMax 21:56, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Uh... the "should not be confused with" section here is the very definition of "overkill". Jesus. --M Sipher 15:03, 4 July 2010 (EDT)

"Overkill" should not be confused with... --ItsWalky 15:10, 4 July 2010 (EDT)

I think you could make a case for Goldbug, Hubcap, and maybe Bumper being in there, but yeah, that was pretty excessive. - Cattleprod 15:32, 4 July 2010 (EDT)

Yeah, some of it was all right (I suppose the above-mentioned characters and Cliffjumper, plus Ironhide as a joke/reference), but the rest was truly ridiculous. And we didn't really need "This character is/isn't yellow". --NCZ 15:36, 4 July 2010 (EDT)

And Hot Shot. Hot Shot should stay mentioned. Geewunling 15:42, 4 July 2010 (EDT)

That too. I just didn't list him because the Hot Shot from Cybertron is completely different from Bumblebee. --NCZ 15:53, 4 July 2010 (EDT)

I don't see the necessity of Cliffjumper, Hubcap, or Hot Shot. (Well, Hot Shot I guess I could see the rationale.) I nuked the thing because it needs to be started over. —Interrobang 16:02, 4 July 2010 (EDT)

Hot Shot fits because in Armada, he was the yellow kid-appeal character. He was even going to be named "Bumblebee!" For Cliffjumper, we shouldn't forget that there were red variants of Bumblebee toys and yellow variants of Cliffjumper back in G1, and they have similar body types which, combined with the previous fact, led to confusion. (Additionally, nowadays Cliffjumper toys tend to be redecoes of Bumblebee, or retools at most.) Hubcap is probably the most expendable, but he is a Cliffjumper retool with colours similar to Bumblebee. --NCZ 16:07, 4 July 2010 (EDT)
