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...
Robot 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.
Transformation sequence (from alt mode to robot mode)
1. Detach the front bumper
2. Detach the smokestacks
3. Combine the front bumper and the smokestacks to form the gun
4. Swing the doors completely forward
5. Fold down the arms
6. Rotate the fists 180 degrees
7. Rotate the forearms 180 degrees
8. Lift up the lower legs and place them vertically
9. Swing down each leg while rotating it 180 degrees at the hip
10. Swing the heel supports back
11. Fold up the feet
12. Swing up the head
13. Fold the cab assembly down against the back
14. Rotate the shoulder cannon tips a bit for clearance and then swing them forward
15. Rotate the shoulder cannons assembly down
16. Peg the gun on top of the hand
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.
