I started to run out if ideas for autobots to add to my collection so I started to look into sorta obscure ones and came out with Hubcap, luckily for me a user on shape ways called SteamShield had made a file for a hubcap replacement head for TR bumblebee and at the same time I found a great replacement part on shape ways by Heirofthedog what replaces the platform the head and arms are attached to allowing it to rotate to let the arms on the TR bumblebee face the other way to give it a different look.

So this is what I came out with, I went for a G1 toy look with the orange face while also repainting some parts black to make him look like his G1 counterpart

Thoughts?

I'm considering this same customization, as well as the Chase / Cliffjumper one. Is "Fine Detail Plastic" always the best option? Can you save a step by choosing a plastic color matching the head or face, or should I always plan on painting both sections for the best results?

It really depends on what ya want I go with fine detail for every head as I'm a detail junkie but for the bit what let's ya change how the arms lay I just got it in yellow to match the way hupcap looks
