    DOTM Barricade would scale better.

    The barricade I kept as a desk toy (and thus got fiddled with every other day), the roof hinge is cracking already...

    He looks pretty good with DOTM Barricade!

    It’d be 100% perfect if DotM Barricade had a black spoiler instead of a white one.
    99% perfection is good too
    xD

    Crap - his forearm armor is inaccurate, the pointed section by his wrist didn't exist until he took on the new Camaro body.

    Now I gotta decide if I want suffer without this one & finish my mods on the original, or suffer with this mold & try to figure out how to fix it on this one.

    Wow, he is small. I like him way better than the original. Mine has nice tight joints and holds together well in car mode. The only issue is the roof falling off during transformation, but it's not that big a deal. That was the only piece that popped off on mine. SSBee3.jpg SSBee2.jpg

    Well, after those pics - looks like I'll suffer buying this one, but I'll use it as motivation to finish mine.

    First thoughts straight outta the box!

    Okay, just opened all deluxes up. I haven't transformed any, I've just felt the joints and put him on his display for now, so I'll probably do an update later. :) 

    Arms are nice and relatively tight. Legs are pretty good, except the feet. I haven't seen anyone say this, but his chest/belly comes undone rather easily, not that big of a deal though.

    A Nice impression so far, but I'll be back after I transform him. :)

    Mine had huge stress marks on the roof hinge. One transformation later and it snapped. Could hasbro send a replacement part?

    Ok wow that is a small Bee. I plan to repaint the hell out of it to mirror the concept camaro bee from the 2007 line with the dark metallic turquoise. I think Hasbro used that to mirror how Bay would have Bee lit up in certain scenes(Bay uses a lot of that blue reflected light)

    Well, I guess did always want a Scout sized Bee....


    I never really wanted the TLK version, although I thought the engineering was neat in concept if not execution. The smaller size is actually almost a plus for me. How does he stack up compared to the Deluxe Ironhide?

    I believe I recently liked an old post of yours commenting on Alexander Kubalsky's original concept for the original old Camaro figure (and how his initial concept was vastly much more screen accurate). If you're interested in making SS one more accurate, I've just been informed by @Applejacktimus that TF1 BB doesn't have the arrow running through his top helmet area (TLK version does though). Would be another nice detail for you to consider on your custom

    In 2010, Deluxes were Voyagers.

    Has anyone considered using a pot rivet as a pin to secure Bee’s roof piece? I did that with Combier Wars Hound, and it worked like a charm. That one required some drilling, though.
