Change Beetle

Grandmother said this: "You are the bug who crawls on the path of heaven, ruler of all."

Yeah, I'm doing this. This is Change Beetle. It is a Combiner Wars Bombshell repainted into the Kabuto Zecter from Kamen Rider Kabuto. The name Change Beetle comes from the belt's sounds when transforming into Rider form. I chose this over something including Zecter because Change Beetle makes me think of all those old knockoff bug Transfromers that had the word "change" forced into the name.

PS Yes, if I had an extra Shrapnel, I would make the Gattack Zecter.

Will you make Kickhopper and Punchhopper with Kickback?

Blade Raider · 11-13-2016, 05:06 PM

I don't like the Hoppers and would only make them if I was making all Kabuto Riders (and they don't make a Legends Class bee/wasp, dragonfly, or scorpion). Might do a Showa Rider if I end up liking Kickback.

I couldn't find any of the Insecticons other than Bombshell. Rather pissed me off. I would to have a Shrapnel and Kickback. Also, very nice work!!!!

This is awesome. I would probably paint the yellow bug yes black and add a bit of blue on the back for Zecter-esque eyes but that’s not really necessary, this custom looks great as is.

Would be cool if they could release those guys in a three pack. While the sculpts go well together the paint is too different between each release and with Takara it’s even worse since Bombshell was an Adventure release which features this stupid sticker.
