    20190412_203250.jpg Hi all,

    Been a while since I've worked on a custom. Ever since I finished my MP minibots, I always wanted to have one of Bumper since I had the original as a kid back in the G1 days. I didn't feel the need to reshell the vehicle, but did make some cosmetic changes to the car by removing the spoiler, reshaping the top of the robot mode chest, and will also be replacing the head once it arrives. There is also some new paint apps added to make him different from Hubcap. More pictures to come as I finish this.

    Enjoy,

    - Gregg

    Admittedly, I took the much lazier choice and just use that head one of the Generations Bumblebees.

    Well done, sir.

    Packaging done! Had to add the awesome photo that Mike Kingcaid did since it homages the G1 splash. This is not for sale and is ONLY meant for my collection! =)

    It all looks great. I especially like that you took the time to design the packaging.
