The Energon Pub

I built this little guy about a year ago as a fun tribute to the movieverse Bumblebee. He's made from a mixture of toothpicks, chopsticks, popsicle sticks, a few glass/wood beads, 3 metal rings, some super glue, and little patience. All of the parts were hand cut and then colored. I then assembled the head, legs, body, and arms independently, prior to assembling the whole figure. This allowed me to make the arms, legs and head independently poseable (each joint can rotate 180 degrees). Sadly though, he doesn't transform.

He stands just under 2 inches tall, consists of roughly 104 pieces, and took me about 4 months to build.

I hope you like him!

Cute! Better keep it safe; it looks fragile!

That's one of the more creative things I've seen on here.

Thanks and yes very. After a couple months of worry, I ended up making him a display case, from a small mason jar. I cut magnetic strips the same shape as his feet print and glued them on so he sticks to the lid. They help keep him in place and still allow me the option to take him out.

I echo the thoughts above, that's brilliant! You've definitely been busy with all the customs on here, and they're really good stuff too.
