    Got the Buzzworthy SS Bumblebee Movie Bumblebee and its just clunker Bee cleaned up. I want a Bee from the end of the movie when he and Optimus meet in the forest.

    I cut the grill/bumper from the hood and put it on the front of bot mode. Had some arms from an old SS18 Bee and swapped them out. Still trying to decide what I'm going to do for the legs. Screenshot_20210919-202652.png Screenshot_20210806-140843.png 20210919_201919.jpg

    Looking good!! Never thought about putting the grill on his chest does it still allow transformation?

    After I saw the mod to the front end I did something similar to my Camaro Bumblebee since it’s such a great idea! Though I’ve found the Jeep Bumblebee head is a little more proportionate with the body.
