Therortically speaking someone could just use that app at a store to unlock the extra features without purchasing anything.

You can also store her gun under her alt mode, the port on her chest can fit the Minicon ports on her gun.

To be honest though from leaks of the show bumblebee doesn't seem like he wants that position
Seems like he wants to hand it off to a more deserving robot

Which would make an interesting arc, with the young leader coming into his position and accepting his new role after being a loyal follower for all those years.

Two of the most beloved shows in this franchise, Beast Wars and Animated, featured inexperienced leaders who had to grow into their role! I think the setup they had could have lead to this kind of story...

But you gotta please marketing who says the brand NEEDS an Optimus at all cost ALL THE TIME and that without Optimus and bumblebee somehow the kids wouldn't recognize Transformers as Transformers. They don't want to take risk otherwise it might confuse the kids who use those god damn Hollywood movies (where risk is economically untenable, for better or for worse) as a gateway into this rich franchise.

At least I'm happy that Bumblebee's team is a bunch of new guys who aren't reused names (though I guess Sideswipe was fairly prominent in movie merch...).

If they can't keep Optimus dead then I'd like to see a main show take an approach similar to Rescue Bots, where Optimus is still out there doing Optimus-y things, but we focus on an isolated team with its own newbie leader with only occasional cameos from the legendary big guy (and Megatron) himself.

Re: Protoman Review: RID Strongarm - Warrior Class

Till the Bay movies stop using Optimus Prime as the main focus (or even in the movies at all) we will never get rid of Optimus in the animated fiction. The movies (be it Transformers, Avengers, WHATEVER) dictate everything else today

Michael Bay is a huge double edged sword for this franchise...
