Re: Question for Transformers Fans re: Bumblebee

[(Anonymous)]

Depends, I guess. I've liked him (original cartoon), not minded him (current comics) and hated his face (TFA). But I think he has always been something Hasbro has tried to peddle for the kiddies, since he is the likeable, small and spunky Autobot.

But kids hate the kiddy character, don't they? Teens hated Wesley on Star Trek, everyone hated Scrappy Doo, people wanted Wheelie from the G1 Transformers movie to die in a fire. Has that changed, do kids now like the kiddy character these days?

Re: Question for Transformers Fans re: Bumblebee

Isn't it usually adults that hate the kid characters? Kids always seem to like them, I thought. Kids liked Jar Jar, kids I know liked Scrappy, though I think everyone hated Wesley at one point...

Re: Question for Transformers Fans re: Bumblebee

Not really, but that doesn't stop the corporations from trying. Bumblebee isn't that unpopular, but many of his toys remain unsold just because the local shops order them a lot more than they order other Transformers.

Re: Question for Transformers Fans re: Bumblebee

It might be that the people making merchandising and marketing decisions are basing all of this on assumptions about what they *think* kids like and refuse to change those assumptions in the face of real numbers. I heard The Force Awakens merch had similar problems with people expecting the kids to want Kylo Ren stuff, but they preferred Rey and Finn and pretty much anyone else (which makes sense to me, but no one asked me).

Re: Question for Transformers Fans re: Bumblebee

If Ren had been more a cool villain like his grandad and less a whiny redpiller then they'd have been right to order in so many. A clear argument for making sure the guys in charge of shilling the merch at least know what the property is like before it goes to the public.
