This time I nailed it. Bumblebee is now... a 2-axle semi-truck! After doing Prime and Megatron trucks, I was thinking, can I find another way of transforming a truck into a robot without repeating myself? Again, I used parts from my Kre-O Bumblebee (big), Optimus Prime (big), Megatron and Starscream sets.
