I had a bunch of spare BW Scorponok parts lying around, in particular, spare Cyberbees due to the fact that I like my Scorponoks to have two missile claws (I'm not the only one, you can find several supposed '2 Cyberbee variants' on ebay of Scorponok (they actually just gave their own Scorponok 2 missile claws and are trying to palm off the leftover figure and 2 Cyberbee claws on you claiming it's a 'rare' variant. It's a LIE, do not fall for it).

Anyway, so it always bugged me ( ) that Scorponok's Cyberbee's wings were basically backwards due to the way it transforms.

If you observe the show, the Cyberbee's wings look fairly normal and the bee itself actually launches from within the claw, similar to a missile, the bee does not actually form the claw as it does on the toy.

So with that in mind, I made this, it does not fit within Scorponok's claw, but I think it's going to look cool sitting on my Beast Wars shelf:

All I did was remove the pins holding the claw bits/wings to the bee, trim the claw bits/wings down so they looked more like actual wings, then removed the springs from them and reversed the direction they faced and the side each was on.

I may eventualy paint the eyes with some gold/orange/yellow tones so that it looks more like it does on the show, but I'm not sure yet. I already think it looks a lot better than it did originally.
