    Hello, Thanks for dropping by! This is something I had on the back burner for a long while and am now working on it in between a bigger project. This is a DOTM cyberfire bumblebee with dark shadow's arms and head (both modified a bit). I am very pleased with how it is so far. Tamiya paints on everything but the arms, which is a testors red that i just don't care for as much as the tamiya. oh well, live, do and learn right? I have always loved the blending of movie and classics elements and some of dark shadow's features really help make it work. The light piping in his eyes still works too :)  It is all hand painted and needs general clean up still, but here is a look at the progress so far. More pics to come.
    (p.s. -- i am using the left over parts to make a generations style waspinator :)  )

    Gee, thanks for taking my idea, lol.

    I got an idea for you; Modify the Roof panel so the Windows can be up in vehicle mode.

    Thanks bloodraged! Strangeguy...it looks like our ideas of wildrider are very different; don't know what you mean by stealing as I have never seen your concept until I checked today, and it seems very different from mine. I dig yours too, and wildrider is always a win! :)

    Yeah, after I started misplacing the arm pieces, I abandoned the Project... didn't help that my inner Gamer was starting to overtake my inner Hobbyist last November.
