Ok, yes I've just seen the Bumblebee film (very good btw) so why no Bumblebee voyager for Siege or previous lines? Seems like a no brainer to me.

Was gonna be one in animated before the line was cancelled. It did get released in japan as Hydrodive Bumblebee.
I think there were plans for a voyager 'bee in either RotF or DotM that were cancelled.
NuRiD had no voyager, nor does Cyberverse, or else there probably would be one in either or both of those.

I've got that one; it isn't really a voyager, it just gets bulked up with the wings on it. In terms of the Generations scale I don't think Bumblebee needs to be a voyager; he's always the nipper. Although, as pointed out in the comics thread, if the new book is going to be a toy tie in but feature BB and Windblade as principle characters, it does seem odd neither are actually part of the toy line. |

There are various ish Voyageer sized BB in other lines, including one solicited by Amazon recently that hit the Voyager price point dead on.
But they do always look too big.
BB does work better at a smaller scale; the recent TR Legends was fab and the Classics version is still great. That used a large accessory to bulk a smaller figure up to Deluxe size, a similar solution taken by Animateed to make the deluxe the Voyager Hydrodive.
and there have been too many.....
That saying they missed a couple of really good opportunities:
* Cybertron Hot Shot in yellow as BB as per his Legend
* CW Blackjack as BB to become part of the Autobot car combiner formed using red Op, and homaging the Armada Op/Sparkplug (was going to be called BB) pairing
* A Titans Return BB with multiple Titanmaster heads (cartoon, minibot battlemask, Goldbug)
They've been laying off BB a bit in Generations since T30. He got the car deluxe there, repainted as Goldbug, and the odd Legend with Minicon. He misses CW, gets a very decent Legend in TR - the Legends version is even better - then missed POTP and looks like missing Siege.

Well, that's kinda the only way you can do 'Bee as a voyager, yeah? |
