So while I'm on a painting break, here's something I forgot to post for Movie Universe Bumblebee! To work around the lack of a proper Camaro bumper, I painted two existing ones. So using different heads & weapons, Bee can go for either the busted-up "77" or fancier "Modern" look!
"My... name... is... Bumblebee..."

Sweet baby Jesus, if this isn’t real, I’m going to be so, so sad. But it looks so real, so for the next week I’m going to believe in it, because making G1 Optimus Prime with modern posability is literally the best thing ever.
Out of sheer boredom last night, some friends and I decided to map out what toylines or pieces of media every figure in Legacy comes from! This is something I'm going to keep updating with every big wave, so I wonder how it'll change over the next couple of years.
#Transformers
With Blitzwing & Astrotrain done, that wraps up my set of gimmicked-up ‘84/‘85 Decepticons for TFCon! For my first themed set of customs, I think they came out terrifically. I’ll miss them if they sell, but I’ll always love them for helping to get my creative juices flowing!
"Buy me, & I'll be your friend!"

I’m saving my own thoughts on Bee for his proper reveal, but I gotta say that it’s really off putting to see people say that this spits on DJW’s grave or that he would’ve absolutely hated it. Like Jesus guys, you can dislike the figure without speaking on behalf of a dead man.
"I have no mouth, yet I must rock!"

Ordered by the Tripredacus Council to go to the past to terminate the renegade Megatron, AGENT FANGRY obliges. This isn't to satisfy his superiors, but so that FANGRY can rip into any beastial 'Bot he sees with his new Fuzor abilities!
Never could I predict that the Core Class Laserbeak we got listings for a while back would end up being the pink Bumblebee form he took in the film for like, a minute. But 2022's already been a really wacky year for Transformers, so let's get even wackier!
