A pair of\u00a0 Camaros in “Bumblebee” design, based on the Speed Champions model. – Autobots, Roll Out…<\/p>\n

My little son is a big fan of the “Speed Champions” cars and also of the “Bumblebee” Camaro. So I started building a yellow Camaro based on the parts from a 75870<\/span> Corvette and the design of the red Camaro from set 75874.<\/p>\n

As I’m not a fan of stickers on my models I had to find a new design for the head- and taillights. Once started I reworked the whole design of the Camaro here and there to make it look more like the Bumblebee model from “Revenge of the Fallen”.

After building one for my son, I wanted one for myself, too. So I bought another Corvette and built a second one ;-))
\nThis is the result:
\n\"img_0512\"<\/a> \"img_0513\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Almost equal twins, but if you take a look closer look, …
\n\"img_0515\"<\/a> \"img_0516\"<\/a> \"img_0517\"<\/a> \"img_0518\"<\/a> \"img_0519\"<\/a> \"img_0520\"<\/a> \"img_0521\"<\/a> \"img_0523\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Autobots, Roll Out! :-))<\/p>\n

You saw that coming, didn’t you? ;-))<\/p>\n

My top design priority for the robot was a mostly unchanged look in car mode. I especially wanted to use the SC wheelhouses and wheels, which occupy a rather big space of the model (especially compared to “Deluxe” figures of the movie Bumblebee). So there wasn’t much space left between outer shell and wheels for the folding mechanism.<\/p>\n

\"img_0524\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m\u00a0 really satisfied with the look of the robot, even if it looks a little like a “Hulkbuster” ;-))<\/p>\n

\"img_0525\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The folding mechanism was first based on the smaller “Movie Legend” figures and then became a little more complex during the design process. I also tried to include a folding mechanism for the rear roof section similar to the “Deluxe” figures, but it was too fragile. So I left the roof in it’s place and used it as a “turtle shell” for the back of the robot.<\/p>\n

So this is my transformable LEGO “Bumblebee” Camaro in “Speed Champions” scale and look.

\nI hope you like it :-))<\/p>\n
