    I did this a couple weeks ago, in hindsight a hairdryer would have made the process a lot easier lol.

    The Origins is such a good bumblebee mold besides the head being off, and I think the world's collide bumblebee head was perfect. It's the right color and he looks pretty nimble like a scout should be.

    I turned the back kibble upside down on mine as well I think it looks slightly better, and I don't mind parts forming and swapping it back when he transforms. Screenshot_20211008-165143__01.jpg

    Saw how S Hailstorm did it... how did you do it? Did you have to warm yours up or just pry it apart? I am about to paint my origin Bee and swap heads with Cliffjumper to get an origin Cliffjumper. The heads are about the same size.

    I decided to get hubcap and scarifice him for this custom cause I'm not paying 50 for the boxset version. This took a half hour take and swap.

    Lol came across this over a year later. Did you end up putting SG goldbug’s head on NF bee’s body? Curious to see before doing it myself
