Holy cats! This is why mom said don't make bees angry. What is the license plate reference? I'm trying, but I'm not getting it.

I think it's Bee's license plate on his Camaro alt mode from the 2007 Bay movie.

I don't think I've seen such a meticulous and impressively detailed custom in a long time. Professional quality paint job and weathering from top to bottom.

BTW, thinking that you were from Australia, I initially thought Auceps was a reference to your home country, but then I noticed on your bio that you're from Cornwall, UK. :oops:

I had to google the word to find out it means "eavesdropper", which is the perfect name for the scout/spy that G1 Bumblebee is supposed to be.

I thought that, but I figured that was too easy. And I didn't have time to look it up.

You got it. Also the Bee and Bee-Otch on the tyres are from the airfresener hanging in Bee's windshield in the movies :)

Thankyou very much! The thing I enjoy most is the tiny details so I'm glad it's worth while!

The customer naned this and I didn't know what it meant either. I like it though; it fits nicely :)

So is this Bumblebee as a prime or something else? So is it like after hot rod had the matrix he became rodimus?
