    Just want to share a minor mod to Bumblebee which I did this way back in 2007. Not sure if somebody else has done this. I basically cut off a tab (encircled in red) that prevents the door from turning all the way up making them higher in bot mode. Some other changes are the head which is a recasted Robot Replica head with small blue crystal like stuff and a removable battle mask based on the first CG we saw before. The movie mask has grills on it but I didn't bother changing this :)

    I don't have bee (and chances are i won't buy a deluxe movie bee untill the third movie. None of the Bumblebee figures have really impressed me so far), but i'll be giving this a try on my Cliffjumper. Nice modification there, dude.

    Tried it on Cliffjumper. Awesomely easy mod. Yellow and red are some of the most easily-modified plastics too so a knife should practically fly through that tab.
