    I just got my G2 Bumblebee in the mail today and I friggin' love him so far, he looks great, his decals are amazing, and he's super sweet and one of my favorite MPs now. I just have one tiny problem...

    I can NOT get his frigging face to come off!

    The instructions aren't much help, and I'm afraid I'm going to break his whole head by pulling on the wrong piece or something. Does anyone have any tips for changing MP Bumblebee's faces? I never changed the face on my G1 MP Bee, so I don't have much in the way of prior experience.

    Thanks in advance!

    I will, thank you!

    Nailed it. Thank you both. :D

    I might have mumbled "GIVE ME YOUR FACE!" while I was fighting with him, to my girlfriend's great confusion...

    Yeah, I wound up trying to pry it out with a pen cap and pressing forward on his little head-crest. Hopefully, nothing broke, and I'm going to assume this means his other faces aren't going to fall out on accident or anything.

    Hopefully.
