Takara Hydrodive Bumblebee into standard Animated Bumblebee

Hey guys,

Here's a long-standing project that I started in the summer and never finished...I had taken a Hydrodive Bumblebee apart and left him in pieces for months which is apparently how long it took to finally take sand paper to that lovely gold paint.

WHY?

I guess I felt that Deluxe Bumblebee was always a bit too large, and Activators Bumblebee was always too small...when Hydrodive Bee was announced, I was stoked but we only got the Takara one which was a freaky gold. So I bought up a loose one to paint a nice yellow and there you have it!

I used the "Animated Almanac" as a reference for the colors which I changed slightly from the original Hydrodive version.

As always, I aimed for a "Factory-fresh, 360-degree repaint" with full transformation...

Enjoy the photos!

--Echo
