Plus, we get Oil Slick as a comics-only character, and that will surely cement him as a semi-obscure Fan Favourite. Apparently there's a few comics-only human characters originally intended for the show, too.
New human characters? More supervillians?
I really expected more supervillians in the show proper. Needless to say, I loved the SUV...though I wish Meltdown had been a member.

Does that mean Bumblebee's going to die in a warehouse explosion, and that's what causes Longarm to become the eeeeeeevil Shockwave?
Okay, the insinuations there cement the fact that I've been spending *way* too much time on DevArt...

Guess we can but hope, though I'm thinking the show roster's looking a little full as-is. At least, judging by what they've said on the VA budget. Sigh.

I think Wasp is supposed to be the Joker, and elite guard Bumblebee is Batman...

I know the first issue "Arrival" ships this week, so we shall see how the non-show "Animated" comic unfolds.

What's the deal with that Elite Guard Bumblebee anyhow? Some sort of 'What If?' toy?

Best I can figure, yeah. Seems a shame, though, they way coulda done a Wasp repaint I don't know who woulda bitched about it.
Wait, this is fandom, there would've been someone.

Frankly, I'm hoping Wasp gets based on Activator Bumblebee. Because, well, I like that toy a lot better. And it's to scale, nyeh.

We 'are' getting ActiJumper with snazzy new headsculpt. I'ma be all over that, though I wanna know why ActiJumper gets the new head and ClaJumper didn't.
Hopefully Deluxe Wasp'll come along and convince me that DeluxeBee is worthwhile.
