[MOC] Bumblebee G1 Transformers

[silentscream]

FULLY TRANSFORMABLE

Built to scale with LEGOs genuine Optimus Prime, and my versions of Megatron, Laserbeak, and Spikes Exosuit.

The goal was to give Bumblebee a much more accurate G1 cartoon robot mode, and have him transform into an actual Volkswagen Beetle. Credit and thanks to Alan Yap for inspiration, you create amazing builds.

For my personal version I substituted 4 of the 1x1 VW tiles for 4 2x2 VW plates with rounded bottoms. I did this to make the hubcaps look more realistic but it required cutting in order to make them fit in the wheel hubs. This isn't required and for purists the 1x1 tiles work fine.

If displaying primarily in robot mode two 1x2 yellow plates should be connected to the back of the shoulder hinge to solidify the joint for posing. I would prefer these to be there permanently however it hinders the transformation to "Bug" mode. Again, not required, but definitely helpful.

Includes blaster pistol. Separate PDF with Transformation instructions.

Highly posable, and stands under his own weight easily.

737 Pieces. Around half the pieces are included in LEGOs official 10338 Bumblebee, be sure to remove those you have prior to ordering inventory if you own it.

Available on Rebrickable

Looks very nice! Much better than the official set, anyway

Cool Bumblebee model. The transformation ability is a good touch. I really like the group you have.
