The Transformers Bumblebee movie came out last year and while it was touted as having a smaller cast of characters, it turned out that its cast was very large based upon the Cybertron scenes in the film. The movie has had a decent amount of support in Hasbro's Studio Series line, but there are still several characters who haven't made the cut yet, and here I'll be going over the top 5 characters from the Bumblebee movie I want to see in the Studio Series line.

5. Cliffjumper
Admittedly, I didn't like what they did with Cliffjumper in this film. They killed him off before he could do anything, before he even got to earth, and now in canon we do not have him for any further adventures. It was an awful use of such a popular and well known character, but at the very least he looked very cool. I loved the horns on his head, the deep red coloration of his character, and the curvature that gave him a bulky look. Another plus is that his figure could easier by recycled into a Cybertronian Bee, or the other way around.

4. Brawn
I've always been a big fan of Brawn, and I thought he looked pretty cool in the film. He was very bulky, had nice colors to him, and I loved how his shoulders folded upwards to essetially become a hood. I have no idea what he transforms into, or how he could transform with seemingly no kibble and such a round body, but it is a neat design and one I hope to see as a figure one day.

3. Soundwave
Once he was spotted in the trailer, the internet went crazy and movie fans fell in love with the Bumblebee movie. Soundwave was very G1 inspired, complete with cassettes that burst from his chest, and his added bulky and size would easily make him a voyager class figure in the line. His prominence in the film makes him one of the most remembered parts of the movie, and no other Cybertron based character is deserving of a figure than him.

2. Jeep Bumblebee
Getting to the earth side of things, this is one of my favorite representations of Bumblebee. This is before he got amnesia, lost the ability to talk, and acted more like a child for the rest of the film. This is the version of him that was still a soldier, when he could speak with a voice that I thought fit him very well, not to mention that this was his form when he fought Blitzwing which is my favorite scene in the whole movie.

1. Blitzwing
We got Bee, Dropkick, Shatter, and Prime, but we're still missing the final major character from the film in Blitzwing. He was an awesome presence with a very cool design that called back to the G1 Seekers. Not only did he look cool, but he was involved in my favorite fight scene of the movie, as well as in general one of my favorite fight scenes of the whole franchise. He was powerful, intimidating, and definitely deserves a figure to go along with the rest of the movie set up.
