  • landosystem, on 06/22/2009, -0/+8I miss being able to tell how they transformed, which was the whole fun of the toy, now you just see the start of the transformation, a close up of a bunch of spinning ***** and then voila!, robot.

  • Probatus, on 06/22/2009, -0/+7Well it did start out as a car. So it transformed at least once.
  • Tempest2k7, on 06/22/2009, -1/+8It's *volkswagen. with an e.
  • malloryhoke, on 06/22/2009, -1/+7nerdy but impressive.
  • kevro, on 06/22/2009, -0/+6If we become a lost civilization and some one finds this in 1000 years they will never be able to figure that one out.
  • Probatus, on 06/22/2009, -0/+6I'm working on Ultra Magnus. I should be done sometime between Saturday and 2033.

    NICE
  • Probatus, on 06/22/2009, -0/+5I actually like the VW Bumblebee better. Maybe this particular one is not suitable for a Hollywood movie but I like the blocky Transformers "look" from the original series better than the bayformers.
  • allyclark, on 06/22/2009, -1/+5That's one way to recycle your old car
  • onehitwonder, on 06/22/2009, -0/+4Slug Bug!
  • Tempest2k7, on 06/22/2009, -0/+4You do NOT recycle volkswagens, especially old beetles, unless it's for building a life size statue of bumblebee. In this case, he is excused. You rebuild them.
  • deadasdisco, on 06/22/2009, -0/+4it transformed once. from a car to a robot.
  • Probatus, on 06/22/2009, -0/+4Yeah I can actually.
  • dumass4u, on 06/22/2009, -0/+3Smart move bumbleebee! Hide in plain sight until you are once again needed for the war. very clever.
  • Jon211, on 06/22/2009, -0/+3That's because you're not as awesome as I am ;)
  • mysportsrumors, on 06/22/2009, -1/+4ha this is pretty cool!!!
  • 4NDr01D, on 06/22/2009, -0/+3the one true and only bumblebee

    all will transform in his name!
  • morrisbrats, on 06/22/2009, -0/+3Site loaded fine for me. The link you mentioned is also sourced to the original story (and image) you see here. Best give credit where credits due.
  • ghatid, on 06/22/2009, -0/+3But it only moves it head?
  • wraiyne, on 06/22/2009, -0/+3you wished for bumblebee? *****, what a lame choice of transformer...
  • majordanger, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2I love big art.
  • BryanG412, on 06/22/2009, -1/+3Sweet, the original bumble bee! Now who is going to build Rodimus Prime?
  • Zippo, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2Checkmate.
  • charlatan, on 06/23/2009, -0/+2Michael Bay's Transformers look like *****. Thanks for ruining everything, Michael Gay.
    To all the gays that are offended: thank god your opinion is worthless.
  • diggforworld, on 06/22/2009, -2/+4I LOVE TRANSFORMERS!
  • wraiyne, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2some of em might work, like prime of starscream. but youre right. no bumblebee
  • DarkProd, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2In a year it will walk.

    In two years it will fly.

    In three, it will shoot lasers.

    Yeah, the Mayans were right.
  • mikeopubco, on 06/22/2009, -0/+1Neat idea, but the execution is *****.
  • Davers, on 06/22/2009, -0/+1I was buried for pointing that out.
  • skit4king, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1Michelangelo has nothing on this!
  • Probatus, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1Can I see your drawings? One of my issues with bayformers is they look like they are missing "skin" over important joints other areas.
  • emes001, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1http://www.geekologie.com/2009/06/oh_snap_you_just ...

    ^_^
  • Kronos6948, on 06/22/2009, -0/+1Adblock plus is your friend.
  • inactive, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1Yeah. The best part is there is no concept of volume or geometry with these new transformers. Apparently metal can compress and reform into anything on the fly. Stupid.
  • iamtonedef, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1Dugg for childhood.
  • ajmccoll, on 06/22/2009, -0/+1If you have to explain an acronym after you use it, you shouldn't use it in the first place.
  • corradokid, on 06/22/2009, -0/+1Let's all learn how to spell Volkswagen. Please?
  • mgill3, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1trans-form-er
    -noun
    1. a person or thing that transforms

    DOES IT TRANSFORM?

    I would just say, it has transformed.
