Introduction: Knex Bumblebee
Its been along time since anyone has posted any knex transformers. The wait is over. I have decided that I will post Bumblebee because of the many people that have asked and posted comments telling me that they want me to post him. So here we go, knex Bumblebee instructable. Please comment and rate. Thx
And thanks glitched for making the concepts and letting me create them kudos.
Step 1: The Wheels and Doors
This step is relatively easy. Just look at the pictures.
Step 2: The Front Bumper
The front is half custom and half glitched's original concept. This piece is also simple and too complicated. Just follow the instructions.
Step 3: The Arms and Gun
The arms took a long time for me to figure out and u have to copy them. The gun is fairly simple and not that complicated.
Step 4: The Body
This step is for the body. Sorry about not taking apart the body and putting more pictures in this step.
Step 5: The Legs
This part requires glitched's amazing gear mechanism. If u are not familiar with his gears, u should look back to glitched's amazing Barricade transformer.
Step 6: Back Windows and Rear Bumper
This part is totally custom and took me 3 different concepts to get perfect. I put along time into this part and I hope u like it.
Step 7: Putting Him Together
This step will take a while to get right. So keep trying and do your best with my pictures.
Step 8: The Transformation
This part is the hardest, Transforming Bumblebee. Keep in mind, some pictures aren't that great and I apologize for it. On the eighth picture u have to pull the whole front assembly down it get Bumblebee to look like pic nine.

Like I have said before, Glitched came up with the concepts. I just added the extra goodies like the rear window transformation and windshield and some other stuff like the engine on the bottom. I will say it seems to look exactly like the 08 camaro deluxe fig. Thx for ur comment. :)

Just for some info, this is not my concept it is Glitched's. So give him most of the credit. He made the originals, I just put some custom parts on. I have to give him the credit because I know these are awesome. This is just so u dont think I made the original fig.
Once again Glitched, thank you soooo much for making these and giving knex a new sideline"Knex transformers!" Kudos!

I am happy someone else is as interesting in Knex transformers as I am. The one thing i would like to see someone attempt is to see someone try and recreate my Optimus.

OMG. 5*s I'll build this as soon as I can. Someone finally made a real knex transformer.

He just made the instructions, I created the originals a few years ago back in 2007 after the first transformers movie came out.
