    Trans-craft bees is 17cm as stated on their post 1st page. I agree with you it would probably be too small put together with TW Prime.

    I'm sticking with this one, especially as I feel we're most of the way down the road on it, and I've put down the basic deposit on TC Bumblebee. So assuming those things come to pass and then TC produces a better Prime than TW, it's not going to be too much of a faff to sell the one to fund the other.

    It's the Blitzwing-sized silence that roars the loudest. Craftwhatevertheyrecalled's BlitzScream is promising, but it's not Starscream I'm waiting on. Evidently we have to wait thru a number of 3P Primes & Bumblebees first.

    There's Zeta's Blitzwing announced but to me he's worse than their Bee.

    TW Prime is about 11 and a half inches IIRC. TC BB is about 6 and three quarter inches. Sounds reasonable for a bot that turns into a large truck and a bot that turns into an original Beetle - the movie's own scale may not like it, but IRL I don't think those toys will look too out of sorts together.

    Anyone planning on painting the white stripe on the truck silver? I am, but I'm puzzled as to why they did that.

    I’m planning on trying to remove all the dirty stuff from the truck mode too. My theory on the white stripe (that’s half brown anyways due to the dirt) is that some people really REALLY want this to be as close to G1 as possible.

    The more likely reason is his bot mode uses a white stripe instead of a silver one in the movie, so TW just put that on the truck mode to.

    What? No they didn't. We're talking about the stripe that shows up on his shoulders, right? It's definitely silver. It's almost white on his truck mode, though - it's a very light silver that you could mistake for white except for in a few areas that don't get washed out by light as much.

    It’s very much not silver like his bot mode details. Pretty distinct as white. Whether it’s a whitish silver doesn’t matter, it’s still distinctly more white.

    It wasn't even white in the toon:

    "White striping" has never been a thing for G1 AFAIK.

    Both---his shoulder-stripes seem to be white (which IMHO, may actually be correct for bot mode, as they don't correspond to anywhere in truck mode, and they do look pretty white in the CGI), but the main issue is the truck-mode stripes, which should be silver, whether you're going by G1 or the Bumblebee movie.

    I just pulled up the video from the movie and they're definitely silver. I'd say they're being blown out by the lighting in that shot you posted.
