“Bumblebee, the B-127 robot disguised as a Volkswagen.”
I guess they think that all of us who grew up with ‘Herbie The Love Bug’ are dead by now, and won’t notice the rip-off.
“I’m not dead, yet!”
(I saw a tan VW bug with Herbie’s number and racing stripe on the road last week!)
Bumblebee was a VW Bug for the TV animation series.
Transformers were my generation. Yes, bumblebee was a VW big from the beginning. I sure wish I had kept my toys. Those generation one transformers are worth a fortune and I had a lot of the most valuable ones.
