Awesome Stingers and You, Build a better Bumblebee!

Animated Bumblebee is an underrated figure, hobbled with the cheap appearance of yellow plastic, different tones of yellow, and a crappy stinger gimmick. In spite of this, I really wanted to like the little guy. But something had to be done about his stinger. He’s a deluxe, not BBBB. After mulling it over for a while. I figured out a good way to do it. The result is a fairly easy custom to make, but one that’s much more awesomer than the original. Read More

That one was good too. I thought of GTA: vice city when I heard that one.

EXCELLENT piece of work! :thumb and once again, your humor was right on target! (I loved the note to the "Emo readers" about BUMBLE BEE'S forearm!) I wish I wrote HALF as well as you do, Matt! BTW, you ever want to stop by the Idiot's Guide To Kitbashing and post, I'd LOVE to see you there, dude!

Good Job!

Thanks again! I'll drop by the thread sometime.

The emo readers joke made me laugh when I wrote it, so I figured at least it was worth that. :D

Though the one I like best is "Next brace the part with the pin hinge. You can do this with a vice, but I wouldn’t recommend alcohol. Gambling should be fine, though."

:tflaugh

At least I amuse myself. :)

Excellent kitbash, I have Animated Bumblebee issues and wondered if this is a good place to ask a question?

When trying to Transform him back from robot to car mode mine sticks, there seems to be issues with the joints that his head/the parts that spin are on and it sticks really badly, i have to stick my fingers under his neck and hurt myself pushing the piece out to make his chest spin back into place, is this a common issue or do I have a defective one pls?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean.

Are the joints just really tight?

I'd fiddle around with him a bit, repositioning things before or during transformation to see if you just don't have them in the right positions. (Like the trunk being open, for instance.)

If that doesn't work, try the directions? :shrug

And thanks for the compliment.

thanks for showing me that he has a trunk ( didnt knew he had one)

Thanks. It's actually decently roomy in there.

Enjoy your stay in Wichita. Best place I can think of to get TF Figs is at the Wal-Mart on Rockroad. Last time I was there they had most of the wave 1 and 2 of the Animated line. Not sure if there were any Universe though. Didn't look long enough to see.

You're from Wichita Kansas too? Huh. Live here in Wichita as well. Like the mod on Bumblebee by the way. Looks like something I could do if I ever decided on getting him.

Yeah, my fiancée and I just moved here. I'm glad you liked the mod. :)
