transformer prototype toys update 2007 part three
and speaking of Barricade (wiki), this Police Car is gaining popularity amongst fans (if the feedback on forumboards is any indication):
i attribute it to a childhood of "police and robbers" and of the "coolness" of police-car sirens et al, that brings out the familiarity for most males, IMHO :p
and when was the last time you saw a Hollywood generic police-car NOT crashing upon themselves in a car-chase after the leading actor-as-villain? time for the Police to get back their due, innit? *heh* ... altho im not too sure about Starscream (wiki) tho:
i mean, as a "plane", he looks pretty decent (another childhood "vehicle of choice" = jet-plane ;p), but kinda "star-fish"-like as a Decepticon, IMHO ... even Bumblebee (wiki) seems a tad banal (ever since his last reveal here and here) - but perhaps a finished paintjob would be fairer to this possible soon-to-be Transformer-darling of the fans:
and finally, if ever i were to actually purchase a Transformers-movie figure, it would be without a doubt; Ratchet (blogged):
*mecha-coolness*

Why an old Camaro/Firebird for Bumblebee? That doesn't seem right. He was always a Beetle. (And should be, since he's supposed to be small.) Or are the VW folks too stingy with their licence to allow an incarnation as the new Beetle?
ReplyDeleteProwler as a Mustang (doesn't matter as long as he's a squad car) looks cool though, and would be fitting for his character.
no clue about the VW-situation, dude - altho it might be what you've suggested, innit? can't remember if i've read that on any forumboards tho :p
