Glad to see such a warm welcoming reception towards her, here.

Ladybug is really clever though. Gives us another girl (an area the franchise still has catching up to do), and it's consistent with Bumblebee's naming. He's a minibot who turns into a yellow Bug... he's a Bumblebee. She's a minibot who turns into a red Bug... she's a Ladybug. It works really well.

I....might actually spring for these. Aside from those pin from 2024, I never bothered with show exclusives. From either Botcon or TFcon.

Cliffjumper has always been a fave of mine, and I kinda hated how he became "Bumblebee but red" for a while.
So I'm all for giving actual Red Bumblebee an identity if only to avoid such buffoonery in the future

Joe, Inhumanoids, and Visionaries, Flint was responsible for much of the fiction many fans grew up with! He also was the first to write an origin story for the Transformers, with the Autobots and Decepticons having been created by the cruel Quintessons!

Meet Flint at BotCon '25 June 13-15 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. You can get your Premium and Weekend packages OR check out the Daily Rates (Including SPECIAL Father's Day pricing for Sunday) at https://www.botcon.com/tickets/
