yeah but on animated he more like ford Hatchback item because taillight on the top and it 5th trunk on back that would work for him on Alternator.. as well..

Edit: I found story about bumblebee's check out:

Hasbro had also been actively seeking a license from Volkswagen in order to update the Autobot, Bumblebee (who was a Volkswagen Beetle). Volkswagen declined, presumably due to their World War II history, claiming that, as with Porsche, they do not endorse "war toys." All Alternators sport some manner of weaponry (although Alternators Windcharger had its gun barrel removed because Honda of America disallowed it) and Hasbro insisted that Bumblebee carry a gun. Concept drawings of the Bumblebee toy and a Cliffjumper re-mold still exist and the design made a cameo as a possible "future" Bumblebee in the BotCon 2005 comic, "Descent into Evil."

What i'd REALLY love to see would be a kind of classics range, done in alternator quality.

So we'd have proper GI-esque alt modes, but with the detail, and articulation of Alts.

Cold, no, wet and windy, VERY! and it's JULY! (mind you, last summer was a complete washout, so why not this one too)

Kup would have to be an old pickup.  Streetwise would be a cool choice, so that Prowl isn't the only cop car in the line!  First Aid could maybe be included as a new model of ambulance car, and even Hotspot as a fire chief's car? 

For the 'Cons, again I reiterate that the Stunticons need to be done!  The Battlechargers as well, though I'm not sure which other 'Cons could really work as cars...
