This time I nailed it. Bumblebee is now... a 2-axle semi-truck! After doing Prime and Megatron trucks, I was thinking, can I find another way of transforming a truck into a robot without repeating myself? Again, I used parts from my Kre-O Bumblebee (big), Optimus Prime (big), Megatron and Starscream sets.

TRUCK MODE











ROBOT MODE

 

I don't know why, but for a second I thought that you actually modded Lego's

 

TRANSFORMATION (FROM TRUCK TO ROBOT)

01. Detach the horns from the roof
02. Detach the smokestacks
03. Combine the horns and the smokestacks to form the dual-barrel gun
04. Pivot the mirrors forward 180 degrees
05. Rotate the front bumper ends up 45 degrees
06. Open the doors and swing them forward
07. Rotate the squarish bits from the roof out and fold them against the roof
08. Split the cab in 2 and fold each half down (step not shown on the pics)
09. Rotate the shoulder cannons up
10. Fold down the entire front cab assembly
11. Move the hinged clip down
12. Flip the head up
13. Turn the head around 180 degrees
14. Lift the arms up 90 degrees
15. Rotate the upper arms 180 degrees at the shoulders
16. Rotate the foreamrs 180 degrees at the elbow
17. Fold back the rear cab panels flat against the torso
18. Swing the rear section of the truck to form the feet
19. Swing down the legs
20. Swing up the legs laterally 90 degrees
21. Rotate the upper legs around 180 degrees at the hips
22. Rotate the lower legs around 180 degrees at the knees
23. Reposition the arms down
24. Place gun on the fist

Done!

 

The robot mode is great, but the alternate mode, I just can't get past the fact that its a truck. Its like when they made Grimlock an intellectual in RID.

 

I think this is really cool. The first thing I think of when I see it is an Oshkosh Truck. Sorta looks like an empty PLS HEMTT, or one of this new FMTV's? The fact that it transforms makes it that much better.

 

Screw the mythos, anyone can be anything in my world!
