Haven’t watched the full transformers: robots in diguise show yet, but I watched a couple random episodes and clips while i finish up another show. BUT I HAVE A QUESTION REAL QUICK
For tfrid fans out there, is it confirmed or not whether bumblebee was originally supposed to be smokescreen or is it just a coincidence? Genuinely curious
I mean the big thing I’ve some people call out is bee kinda has the same structure as tfp smoke rather than tfp bee, but also I saw that arc thing where Optimus prime doesn’t think bee’s fit to lead the team, and in my mind from back in prime, bee seemed fine leading, everyone trusted him i think and yada. Also as a viewer I would disagree with prime’s logic cause i think bee’s all good, but I WOULD agree with prime’s logic should it have been smokescreen. That bot i would not trust lemme tell ya
But then again, i think both sides fit fine with their role in the team, on the opposite ends of the spectrum at least. From my very limited viewing experience, bee’s background is like his own cog in the team. He’s team primes trusted scout, he ain’t an elite guard like strongarm, he ain’t super flashy and out there like sideswipe, he ain’t all that goofy and fun like Grimlock, aaaand I…. Don’t know that much about drift yet BUT IM SURE THERE”S SOMETHING
Meanwhile Smokescreens the opposite, where he’s sort of a merge of the whole team. Elite guard, flashy, fun, and the other guy I think. Only issue being that him and strongarm have pretty much the same colour scheme.
Anywho, the possibility appeared to me and it’s been stuck in my head now. So I ask out of curiousity and give me closure.
