Whoah, looking awesome so far. Looking forward to seeing the rest

Shiny! You did a great job with the head modifications & paint - looks like a heavier / rougher metal now.

Thanks for sharing - update as MUCH as you like - we can all learn from these WIP studies.

I've been waiting for someone to do this! I wonder where he got the train parts?

Great work so far. A lot of people are using these designs lately. I really Hasbro turns them into toys, I think they'd make some good cash if done right.

Well the train parts thus far have all been scratch built. It's a HUGE pain! I'm considering going out and buying a cheap model train car and using the wheels etc. off of it. Not sure what scale to go with. I'm not as up on model trains as I was as a kid.

To date there are only 2 other HOS TF's completed, that I know of, the Prime I posted about a few weeks ago (Well kinda ressurected a few weeks ago) and an HOS Megatron. Funny thing is that both of those designs were never used in the comic series. If and when I get this Bumblebee done I wanna try my hand at Ratchet and Prowel. If there are more I would love to see them. I did see a paper HOS Bumblebee a while back.

I really liked the designs from HOS. Too bad the story was kinda poop.

I'm in the process of collecting stuffs to make a HoS Scourge. That's crazy, sratch-building your own parts. What are you sculpting with?

Mostly sheet styriene, styrene tubes, Green Stuff etc.. Now for the "Skeleton" I used parts from a Lego Bionicle set. I've got a few hole punches of varying sizes as well so I can cut out circles to make wheels or any other rounded parts I need. That's mostly WHY I'm not anywhere close to finishing him. I mean I do this kinda stuff with my 40K models all the time. I think the other issue is just figuring out HOW to make everything fit together and still be able to transform.

When he's done, please put him next to that HOS Prime too!

OH I wold LOVE to be able to do that. I'll have to save up the cash to get an HOS Prime.

cool idea. nice execution so far. What is this Hearts of Steel Prime you are talking about? Is it that KO (sorta) one? is it for sale?

Wasn't a big fan of the comic but the designs were pretty amazing and Bumblebee looks to have translated really well here.

Can't wait till it's done.

Here he is in all his custom goodness...HOS Prime that is.

Thanx Deathnell, yeah thats where ive seen it. I thought it was for sale @ one time or another. (The link you gave just went to the website, not Prime himself. But i remember now)

Those fembots (*ahem* Arcee's) arent bad neither. I would like to know the scale of those arcee's. ... I mean FemBots.

The head is fantastic,you`ve managed to give it alot of personality.
looking forward to seeing more.

Cool I can't wait to see it finished!

BTW Hot Rod s for not spelling "Hearts of Steel" correctly.

VERY AWESOME, Id love to see a HoS Shockwave and also see the Insectrain too.

looks good so far

SO this. I love HOS Shockwave's design.
