I'm just still hugely impressed that you made him without the roof turning into a huge stomach.

That alone is amazing work. :grin:

Awesome work! Are you going to paint him?

by **Transformation619** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 7:08 am

Not bad, Not bad at all! :-?

Anyways, you may need to tweak the legs and arms a bit but did you put in articulated fingers?

Love it seems like it has a very original transformation really like the sleek agile look you have give him compared to the toys hasbro gives us hope to see him finished soon

I can't believe you scratch built that. Matter a fact I don't believe it. Your a fake and a fraud. Only Hasbro can make that stuff! NOT YOU,HASBRO! :-x

Just kidding. It really is an awesome job you're doing. He is gonna be yellow, right? :???:

by **Decatron** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 4:35 pm

Blitzwing next?! Oh man I have to see that. You have serious skill.

Wow, really nice job can't wait to see BB painted.

by **JAF** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 7:51 am

Wow, this is cool enough to drag me out of my cave to say hello to you dudes. Hello dudes.

Herman, that's amazing. As everyone here is dying to see how this baby works, I've decided to take a preemptive stab at figuring it out. Am I even close?

Why blue?

by **nwheeljack** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 11:41 am

Heh, very close indeed, but the arms aren't connected to the doors... they 're attached to the chest (inner side). The original toy model was blue... i'm gonna paint it like the G1 bumblebee.

cheers

This thing is just too awesome! I wonder if I could make one for myself...

by **Wubot** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 1:13 pm

This is awesome. Can't wait to see more pics of the transformation, how it's done, and what it looks like painted!

How about making a seconed one, and before you paint it, you make a mold out of it, cast a few in the corect colors and sell em? I would buy one!

by **Malicron** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 8:26 am

OOOHHH, yes, do that! :PRAY:

Oooooo! Good idea!

by **STARS Commando 539** » Mon Oct 22, 2007 3:57 pm

WANT ONE!

How much?

Major bonus points for combining 1) the decent compromise between a realistic VW Beetle and G1-style superdeformed Beetle (would that make this a somewhatdeformed Beetle?), 2) the well-proportioned robot mode, and especially 3) designing your own transformation, instead of trying to force G1-style transformation to fit a shape it doesn't fit. You rock!

by **zemper** » Mon Oct 22, 2007 6:05 pm

uh...no updates yet?

the suspense of seeing it painted is killing us! LOL.

by **Mepain** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 3:06 pm

Any updates? :PRAY:

Nice idea, but have you any idea how hard would be to try and get moulds from some of these parts? Odds are you'd need an industrial mould press to get them, especially on those parts with areas of thin plastic; it's a nightmare trying to get them to work at home.

by **Auto Bot** » Sun Oct 28, 2007 7:20 am

Wow! Are those individually movable fingers?

What material did you use for the transparent parts?

News Credits: 2 · by **An_de** » Sun Oct 28, 2007 7:34 am

Amazing

by **nwheeljack** » Sun Oct 28, 2007 12:04 pm

Sorry for the delay of updates... (Damn work) :MAD:

Yup, they are individual movable fingers, the translucent material is polystirene.

Soon (hopefully) i'm gonna post some bumblebee painted pics...

Cheers!!
