Hi guys!

I picked up the IDW Bumblebee awhile ago and thought it was an "alright" mold kinda plain and not very eye catching. Then after looking at it for a bit the vehicle mode began to remind me of Windcharger. So I did a couple of mods to it. First I took the doors/wings and cut them in half and glued parts to the arms and the rest to the roof of the car. he now has a backpack. Next I trimmed, filled and sanded the weapon ports at the back of the car. Finally hit up my parts box for a decent replacement head. One that looked like a modern Windcharger. Then the last steps were paint, detail lines and Autobot sticker and he was ready to roll out!

Wow, this mold is damn near perfect for Windcharger. You did an amazing job. I may have to get one to do this as well.

It looks better as Windcharger! I dont know why he doesnt get any love in the toy dept.

Inspiring! I may just have to pick up a bumblebee/goldbug and do this myself. Whose head didi you end up using, if you recall?

Hey guys, thanks for looking! The head that was used is from Cybertron Tow-line. The white and blue van

That makes a great Windcharger! You picked the perfect head for him, it matches the style aesthetics well and fits Windcharger perfectly.
