Ah, the short hair. That's where the charlie figure gets it from.
I always thought it was weird we didn't see much concept art of the human characters.

I would so love a bumblejeep. Would be way better than the VW one.

Every picture I see of him, I want a figure even more. Where's my Bumblejeep!

Hmm..neat
Digger
Oh yeah it does look kinda like a droid.

Yea the other style is pretty cool robot design, but people would have been like, is this Star Wars?
Digger
Agreeable. Like they’re all really cool. But they’re not really transformersy.

These designs are a lot better than some of the other ones among the Bumblebee concept art pieces. They're much more in line with the Transformers movie aesthetic and Transformers designs overall compared to the other stuff. While the other concept art still has a cool sci-fi robot look, I just don't think the other artist really had a grasp on the style of Transformers. Either that, or he just wanted to put his own spin on Transformers for a change.
Digger
Agreed.

I dig the jeep design but it doesnt work for bee so the final version was ultimately the best choice. Id love to see that recolored into a Hound though, that would work very well
Digger
Alright. Not too much to fuss about. I’m glad they changed up the Jeep design, looks less ugly. Charlie looks way cuter with short hair. That’s all I got.
