Now, a fascinating piece of trivia here is looking at the early development of what became Transformers. This concept art has been unearthed for a character called "Muffy" (short for Muffler). That robot mode looks VERY close to what was released as Bug Bite, doesn't it? Meaning it's possible the design changed hands early on, and possibly Marvel *rejected* this mold in favour of the micro-change toy that would become Bumblebee.

Since these Halcyon days Volkswagen became very particular about licensing out their vehicle designs to companies who made, in their words, "War Toys". Can't think why a German company would be so squeamish...

Morning, everyone! I hope you're all in top form!
Like this guy! Bug Bite!
One of the "super" Gobots from the OG toyline, larger figures with more detail than the regular line, he's one of my all-time favourites. Not only for his resemblance to iconic Transformer, Bumblebee, but for his unashamedly retro look: the pincer hands, the blank windscreen face...it's so gloriously 1970s design ethos it makes me weep joyous human tears.
