I was reading tutorials in a Transformers community boards when I saw this one modification of Hasbro's Transformers Hunt for the Decepticons: Battle Blade Bumblebee. The tutorial came with stunning pictures of a custom painted Bumblebee with the modification.

I just recently owned one of this guy, it was a gift from my wife. I'm a starting Bumblebee collector, but I'm just gonna collect the good ones and hopefully, only the toy figures. It's like an investment for I guess 'cause pretty soon it will be in the hands of my little kid.

Anyway, like I said I have one of this and I can say it's one of the best I have plus if you look around the net you'll see tons of good reviews and positive feedbacks from this guy. And after seeing this custom bumblebee, it makes me wanna get another one and try the modifications and custom paint job.

Here are the photos

Overall Custom Paint

You can see the modified chest piece here, it's tilted whereas the original look ain't.

They added beads to the eyes and headlights, they also custom painted the mask making it look more movie-like. The original paint app are just black stripes.

Stunningly well painted arm cannon. The original only have the yellow mold plastic's color. They also added a bead in the cannon.

You can now see details in the feet plus they painted the hand similar to what it's supposed to look like in the movie. The original only has a plain black color.
