    Dear Hasbro- this is ALL I want from you, that's it!

    This is stunning man! Love the paintwork on it, and how you did the head was really clever. It looks like something straight from the Hasbro factory and then some. Great job, keep it up!

    Non transformable? Did you alter the build or is it just to protect the gorgeous paint finish?

    Yes, I see how you've made it non transforming (and given that the alt mode is wrong there's not much reason to transform it)- none the less I'm not sure I see why you changed the shoulders.

    But either way it's gorgeous!

    Looks great, and this isn't criticism, just wondering if it's not transformable anyways, why not remove some of the other kibble like the hood piece behind his head?

    Paint looks phenomenal though!

    Very nice work!

    I'm guessing it's due to Walmart possibly securing the exclusive for Stinger toys, at least judging by the 1-step changer.

    That is THE Bumblebee head that came with the toy. I've got one that Cheetimus did (I think he was the first to do this). With the Battle mask down and paint done with no regard for the unmasked face it can look like this. By no means perfect, but much better than you'd expect.

    I would love to see someone reshell the new bee with a pagani body, but this looks great for a figure!

    That is insane. They should have just done a quick retail repaint and I would have bought it day one.

    I have no idea why they turned Crosshairs (or what ever his name is- pervy trenchcoat guy) into a blue what ever instead of doing this. I'm sure it was because they didn't want a repaint in the same wave- but there's actually demand for Stinger- there can't be much of any for what ever that blue thing is. The original green movie version seems to be the big shelf warmer of the line here.
