Whoa...

That is looking really, really good so far.

Loving it. ^^
And, um... Are you going to repaint him to having the same colors as Bumblebee? Or are you planning on leaving him "as is"?
Anyways... Great work.

Very nice stuff...
Here's a possibility that won't require much painting. How about giving him a bit of a face mod, and turning him into
Searchlight?

Looks pretty keen so far. Are you going to fill in the shoulders with extra parts or something else? there was one model someone did (didn't transform though) out of a gundam model and a model race bike. You might be able to add some leftover model pieces from the engine that came with the model if your not using it fro the gun.
and wlcome to the board

It looks great. I can't wait to see it when you've finished. Searchlight sounds like an excellent choice. My oldest boy wants to try to make an alt Bumblebee.

to answer your question Lord_Loqi
i am not sure if i will fill in the shoulders with extra parts
if the shoulder are to big , i think i won't be able to transform him into a car, but i can try and i am sure he will look even better, thank you for your suggestion
i wish good luck to your son primezimmto, customizing bumblebee will be hard but possible
thank you again for all your reply
i really appreciated

Great job
and using sideswipe and smokescreen, looks good.
i've had some problems with my bt bumblebee, had to turn him into a bt goldbug.
i'd love to see some closer pics of the shoulder and feet. they look really well done.
Awesome job!

Bumblebee would be best. As far as painting goes, it really isn?t that hard to do since Bumblebee has a very simple colorscheme?yellow with some black. All you need to do is completely disassembel him, mask off the windows and other areas you don?t want painted, and either airbrush or spray-paint each piece the proper color. Then just let the pieces dry completely and reassemble.
