little too blocky for my tastes

It's not frequently you look at a Transformer and think, "Kawaaaaiiiii!" I like him. He's cute. Bumblebee's never been the strongest or most imposing, but he's supposed to be likeable by humans, and this fits that bill.

He does look a little tougher in car mode though. This one is for sale on Ebay and will sell Saturday. Tomorrow. It will probably be cheap by the way things look. Check it out.
I have another I might keep for myself. I might try some more mods on the car form and maybe a different smaller head. I also might just paint it Red and sell it too. These VWs are only 5 bucks and there are plenty more on the shelves. I could do a whole Bumblebee clone army.
A small piece of info for fun. Bumblebee's horns are made from the tip of Unicron's. :twisted:

I think so too. It is a KO from Big Lots. There were 4 this size, 1 VW and 3 SUV's of different type. Big Lots has alot of nice ko's

And I can't seem to find any of the good ones like Prime. I did however find a unique 3 piece combiner with a Maroon car with double axles in the rear. This is a certain Rodimus remake nobody has seen before. All I need is a head mod, a yellow wing and some decals. Everything else is perfect right down to the clear blue windsheild.

I checked out Big Lots yesterday after seeing this thread. I had a good laugh after checking out all the knockoffs including the oversized rattrap and optimus primal as well as some cute racoon guy.

Anyways, I saw the KO you used for bumblebee. I must say, it's bigger then I thought then when I looked at your picture. (it's about the size of a go-bot)

What is up with that Racoon!? Strange huh? That Bumblebee is the same size as the Alternators and I guess the Playschool ones too.

He's not actually a racoon, he's a racoon dog, more commonly known as a "tanuki." It's characterized by its resemblance to the average racoon, but carries a bottle of sake, a promissory note (a bill it never pays), and oversized testicles.

Here's a link if you want to know more!

A Cybertron (Maximal?) with testicles... Yep, proves that only the Good Guys have the balls to do what's needed.
