Battle Ops Bumblebee

What can I say? This is my favorite Bumblebee to date. Very accurate to his on-screen persona, it's an amazing figure.

Prior to painting, I made some slight modifications to Bumblebee. I replaced the green LED in his head with a blue LED (not too easy) which required fully rewiring from the board. I also replaced his left hand with a fully articulated 4 digit hand, with wrist and 2pt. finger movement. Because his knees seemed to crap out on me (not too tight) I replaced the springs inside the ratcheting joint, ultimately making them tighter and holding him up better.

I removed the faux fingers/hand on his right hand/cannon, and installed a translucent red part which appears to "glow" when the LED (red) is triggered.

painted primarily with:
alclad (chrome effects)
house of colors silver & chrome
custom mix yellow/gold with pearl/iridescent finish

Beautiful work.

I have the Premium Movie 1 mold and the HA mold. Is this worth getting?
