Here is Bumper. A mysterious transformer , cousin of Bublebee from the pre-Transformers "Microchange" line. It was not really officially released on the Transformers line. But it occured that some of them were sold in the Bumblebee packaging by mistake or not. It became a legend and one of the most rare and desired Transformers toy. This drawing is a commission for <the rusting carcass's portfolios. I'm impatient to see that printed .
Actually, he was sold as "Sedan", in Brazil by Estrela, white or blue in their initial "generic car robot" run and green or yellow in their "Optimus x Malignus" run (a temporary/provisional equivalent/translation of the Autobots x Decepticons divide).
The most curious part of it all is that apparently "Sedan" had unique tech specs of its own, now lost.
Oh yes, I forgot they were released in south america too. Are they easier to find there ? I'm really wanting this mold. In any color. I'd be ready to trade it for some good drawing commission...
It wouldnt be too hard to do, the only issue i see is finding the right sort of kit to use for the car mode parts. What was the design based off of? Looks like a Nissan Micra or something like that. That'll be hard to find in 1/32 scale but if a kit like that exists it would make an awesome toy. Ive already done the same thing for BB by turning him into a VW beetle and giving him a G1 make-over so this would be just as easy.
No i think the one you are reffering to was made by Wheeljack, but the one i have made is exactly the same as his as he helped me make it because i wasnt too good at re-shelling at the time.
I did make one before he did though, but at the time i had no kitbashing experiance and i jumped right in at the deep end and the result was far from impressive. Basically it turned out like a bad looking action master.
My new one is much better and fully transforms. He is fully finished and has been for months now but i dont want to show him off until i have a few other customs done so i can post them all at once and blow everyone away with variety.
