Turning BB into Vehicon for troop building?

bellpeppers · 05-15-2012, 01:25 AM

In another thread someone (jokingly I think) suggesed turning Bumblebee into a troop builder. Now, maybe because it's late and I am tired, for some reason I saw merit in the idea.

Suppose a Shapeways kit was fashioned that could turn PRIME Bumblebee into a sort of Vehicon.

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

I've not done this with Prime figures, but I did it with a few DotM Bumblebees. Mainly I just painted them black, though, so they're not "true" Vehicons.

I think the premise is valid, though.

It'd be nice to thin the herd. I'd like to see what someone could come up with. It's too bad the yellow is so... yellow.

Maybe BB would take to dye well? I tried Prime Wheeljack and he didn't take it much at all (none of the white did).

How about a Giant Bumblebee Combiner made from like 12 Bumblebees. 2 per limb, 2 for the chest, 2 for the waste and hips. I'd call him Hive-Mind. That or Peg-Warmer.

Edit: Sketch to come

GoBots PUZZLER comes to mind.

Is there much rubbing with joints on RiD BB, such that paint scraping would be a significant problem? If there's not I would consider some normal repaints (but need ideas for them).

Perhaps turning him into Autorooper.

That...actually sounds pretty brilliant. A simple Shapeways headsculpt to swap out the normal BB head and a generic paint job later and BAM! Instant cannon fodder that is also cannon.

No, make it a BW homage and call the main BB "The Royalty".
