Talk:The Gift Horse

Holomatter avatar?

Is there an in-fiction reason why Bumblebee wouldn't have used a holomatter avatar to talk to the girl instead of transforming into his relatively gigantic, scary, and attention-grabbing robot mode? I could imagine a real-life reason being that they wanted to avoid a talking-to-strangers-is-good message in a mini-series aimed at younger readers (or that the writer was just forgetful/ignorant about the avatars in the first place), but I was wondering if there was an in-story explanation that I missed. - Jackpot 23:09, 22 April 2010 (EDT)
