Like most people I was disapointed when I saw photos of bumblebee and his extruding stingers. here is what most pictures of bb have looked like.



Heres a pic of bumble bees instructions with the stingers, notice that the stinger go all the way back



now heres a pic of my bumble bee



All you have to do is push them in with some force. It doesnt bend them or anything just makes them go in futher. Once you get them to this point you won't have to use force again, they will just go back that far.

Hope that helps

 

Good to see. Now I wish they'd give him a properly colored Autobot logo.

 

I kinda like the silver and gold they've been using. It looks good on the figures.


As for the stingers, I figured that was likely going to turn out to be the case. Glad it's true. They look MUCH better pushed all the way in like that, and I can deal with the little bit they still poke out.

 

In other words... most people with TF:A Bumblebee are just weaklings that can't push up everything?

 

I wouldn't call them weaklings, becasue there is a point were you meet alot of resistance, I just risked breaking them beacuse I hated how they looked sticking out. nothing broke and everything worked out for the best

 

i wouldnt say that the stingers out like that bugged me but its nice to know that you can push em in further

 

Good to know in advance for when I get one.  

 

if anyones interested I did some more alterations to my Bumblebee to make him more show accurate. check em out here http://www.tfw2005.com/radicons-cus...or-mods-4/show-accurate-tfa-bumblebee-164251/

 

Nice work! Looks much better with a little more color in some places.
