Transformable Kre-O HA Bumblebee (v2)

[Pascal]

Second attempt at a transforming Kre-O Bumblebee. This time, he's some kind of truck! What kind, don't ask me... I used parts from the Bumblebeeset plus leftover parts from my Sentinel Prime/Megatron/Optimus Prime/Starscream after I was done building Prime & Megatron. Huge backpack but cool transformation and he can hold a human figure in alt mode. Specially proud of the shoulder cannons. Lots of hinges in that area!

Alt mode...

And with Optimus Prime and Megatron...

Not pictured, but Bumblebee's alt mode is much more compact than Megatron's or Prime's, yet the robot is still pretty big.

The vehicle's a little funky -- it looks almost like a chibi Bulkhead -- but the robot looks amazing and it transforms. Great job!

The truck reminds me of vehicles I've seen in amine movies set in the future, which is a good thing looks great!

Great to see your troops unfold, Pascal!!!

Already dismantled to work on v3... This time Bumblebee will be a real semi-truck. Smaller than Prime and Megatron, just 2 axles. Different transformation too.
