| BUMBLEBEE
(DIE-CAST)
PROJECT #345
CLASSIFICATION: REPAINT
BASE VEHICLE: VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE KEYCHAIN TOY
FIRST APPEARANCE: "MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE" PART 1
"We'll slip that bomb right under their nose
gears!"
Comments: The reason the original
Bumblebee toy isn't shaped like a real Volkswagen is because the toy was
based on a super-deformed Penny Racers pull-back toy (which is why Bumblebee
has a plate on the back of his head; this was where you put the penny in
the car to make it do wheelies). The car I used here has a pull-back
motor, making it pretty much my only die-cast project that can travel under
its own power.
This is the second version of Bumblebee I've done.
The first one (project #45)
was based on a regular-shaped Volkswagen, so it isn't quite as
authentic. |
