It was weird to keep using Earth alt-mode Bumblebee inside Cybertronian Wheeljack. That finally got to me, so here's starting off on this fella, scaled to fit inside Wheeljack: Going to have to re-imagine a few bits of him but this should be a fun ... will spin him off into a separate thread once I get a little more headway with him
Sorry to get us off topic again, but I just remembered where my Bumblebee is from! It was a con exclusive SOAP figure. It actually says "Hasbro" on the bottom! It came with a Starscream but I gave it to a friend. I think there are 200 in the world.
Now all you need is a ring of fire. I was thinking of making fire effects with a hot glue gun and going to teach myself that eventually.
That's a brilliant idea! Maybe this can be done on top of LEDs so that they can be lit with within? And painted with clear red/orange/yellows? As per an original idea - just scaled down and resin 3d printed version of Bumblebee which fits Wheeljack too! Here's some photos - enjoy! "Bumblebee! Get in, quick!"
