The Energon Pub

Hey fella's,
This is a project I started a while back but had to put it on hold when I broke part of my model kit. this one here is a 1/32 scale model of a 1950 bug. I outright stole some ideas from anemis for this and sonray had a valiant go at it too. let me know if you guys have any questions or suggestions. He still has a little to go.
thanks for lookin fellas!

Wow that is REALLY impressive! What's left to do?
Whenever I see someone pull off a custom G1 Bumblebee that's poseable and practical, I must take my hat off to them; it can't be too easy. Great stuff d00d. Then again, your stuff is usually great so I can't really expect anything less!

Best custom ever!!!

No,far from it,but perhaps the best one trying to convert classics bee to a beetle.

Ultra Magnus and bcm77, thanks guys. the mirror and a few other minor things needed to be tweaked.
Rhinox, did you drink your ovaltine today?

welp, he's done.
thanks for looking guys.






Cheers fellas!

Ovaltine? oh,ha ha. ... all i'm saying is that it's not the best bash in the world. it rocks,but it's impossible to turn classics bee into a toon-accurate bee.

Thanks for looking WJ? HA! I came here ... with popcorn.

I now have to run to Kmart and buy new shorts to get me through the day.

oh sweet primus, this is what hasbro should've given us!

Hey now that is beautiful. OUTSTANDING WORK dude. I do have a question if you don't mind . When you cut up the bug parts to put on the bot. What kind of cutter did you use? I've thought of doing a similar technique of bashing, but if I used my dremel to separate the vehicle shell parts, then it would take too much plastic away. Was it a certain kind of dremel bit maybe, like one I don't have yet? Please respond. . I really do want to use that technique so hook a brudda up.

Strange, I clicked this expecting to see a classics Mirage getting turned into a Bumblebee....

That is awesome, just the back looks a bit odd.
Other then that once again a awesome piece of work.

Sweet G1 Bumblebee! You hit the nail on the head with this one great work!

Thats probably the best BB custom I've ever seen! I can't believe you pulled it off. You're a genius at utilizing Classic TFs to achieve the ultimate G1 customs. Nice work.

OK seriously, I want to pay for a 2008 Volkswagen BB.

Disagree. The back is perfect.

This is one of the best customs I have ever seen. Yhis is one I would buy if I had the money!

wow

i love it

can i copy that ?

I must admit that your work is fantastic... like a pro...

First off I love this work. I would like to see a Goldbug version of this mod. I think the classics BB lends itself to Goldbug better then G1 BB IMHO.

Really good work! Looks so much better than any other G1 style BB I've seen.

dude that is sick! awesome work! hasbro should have made BB this way.

Love the license plate it a really cool detail

Wonderful work! I love the detail and the return to the VW Bug alt mode.
