We saw Bumblebee again in the Return of Optimus Prime. He pulls the old Goldbug switcharoo. He then appears as a Throttlebot briefly in season four's big opening fight with what seemed like a million other characters. I just revisted the whole series in the last couple months so its still very fresh in my mind. Perceptor, Blaster, Grimlock, Soundwave, blue cartoon Rumble, and Ramjet also have some time in season three after Faces. A couple other Dinobots have a cameo too. I probably missed somebody ...........
Anyway, back to Bumblebee. This came to mind cause I don't have much in my mind except Transformers recently......... Since he did the Goldbug turn I guess he doesn't count as having appeared in each season with Prime cause if we count Bumblebee/Goldbug I think we have to count Megs/Galvatron. This leaves Prime as the only Transformer to appear in every season. Funs facts to bore your day!!!!!

And RedOktobre breaks down the Hotrod/Magnus thing pretty good. Prime was probably still a little upset 'bout that whole death thing...............

Now how about Outback, our favorite from down under. Is he the only transformer that ended up with a foreign accent? And if so mabe he should have been at least a deluxe so the kids in Australia could have gotten their hometown hero in a larger size.( Maybe we should have had a Canadian transformer, a snowmobile named Polaris or something......you listening hasbro?)

There's snow cat.....I guess thats close enough

[Robimus]

GmFan101, was that just the mini-con type guy? I saw one before in those mini-con 2 packs I think but something more Arcee sized would be cool.

[GMfan]

Nope he was a deluxe figure in Energon with an alt mode based on an old GI Joe vehicle:

he was repainted once as a KB toys exclusive (US) with black instead of white and orange instead of purple.

Not bad at all, still would like a ski-doo though, with a Canadian accent EH!

Matrix, that was so awesome how he took charge and ordered him to "Get moving!"

Hmmm, I'd have to say Spike too. Afterall, he made Transformer status in S4.

Haha, I thought of that but Autobot Spike wasn't a Transformer, so no 'TF status'.
