We're so close to being able to have a team of Starscream combiners too. We've got the torso combiner, this golden boy, and a clear "ghost" version, plus a Thrust from the Unicron trilogy. Just imagine the sheer ego and self-loathing combined into one being from a King Starscream combiner…

@@NoirRaven Plastic itself can't be that metallically reflective. Plastic gets its color from additives and metalic colors come from adding metal. To get it perfectly chromed and not have it wear off of the joints to the point of hideousness, you would need to just make the whole thing out of golden metal. Also to get that shiny it would need to be polished, since it doesn't cast perfectly smooth.

@@mechanwhal6590 Well, specifically, they can't make a Bumblebee toy that turns into a bee for the same reason they can't make a character who turns into a car and then name him Car. You can't trademark something under a name that is just what that thing is - this is called a descriptive trademark. This is because if the trademark office let it through, then Hasbro would own the rights to "toys named Bumblebee that are bees", and could try to sue anyone putting out a toy based on a bee that uses the word "bumblebee" in its packaging or marketing. Which is, obviously, not a great outcome. Conversely, it's okay for them to own a trademark on "toys named Bumblebee that are robots that turn into yellow cars", because in that case, anyone else putting out a yellow robot car named Bumblebee is clearly ripping them off.
