This is a commissioned fan-based character, "Ladybot" who started as a RTS Bumblebee. Gave her a new head from an Arcee myclone pvc figure (on a ball joint)

Painted the front end black and headlights light blue and a couple of hand cut vinyl stencil "dots" to give her alt mode a Ladybug look. The jet ski transforms into her wings in robot mode.

I like it, great idea and it works well.

I don't quite like the face. Something's a bit off about it, I think it's the eyes. All in all though, impressive work. Something new, but you restrained yourself. You usually have extensive overhauls, so it's nice to see something simple, yet well made.

Agreed, this kind of attitude is not needed Swindle01

Personally, I really like it. The head sculpt is very well-made, and actually looks feminine without trying too hard. The ladybug color scheme is kind of like a fembot version of Wasp in TFA, who himself was a retool of Bumblebee.

In a whole universe of athletic, built-for-battle and agile bots and fembots, this Ladybot retool adds a touch of realism to the TF world. I kept thinking of Abby from NCIS.

I love this! Even though the body is quite blocky and bulky, it actually works really well as a female. And it's adorable!

I may have to do something like this myself.

I hadn't realised the Myclone heads would fit a deluxe figure that well. I'd been thinking of using one of the 3rd party Goldbug kits for when I get around to putting together (just caught myself as I was about to write 'knocking up'

) a Classics Glyph, but this could be a nice alternative to the faceplate look from the Botcon figure and Universe fiction that would bring out some femininity. Nice work.
