Description The year is 2300 and humanity is all but extinct. The world is ablaze with an unchanging season of heat and the only sounds echoing in the once thriving cities are that of machines. But still the war between the Autobot and Decepticon forces rage on. Here I give you a frightening new vision of a post-apocalyptic Transformers. This End of the Road Bumblebee was once a Cyberfire Bee with all sorts of custom modifications with various fodder parts to give him a 'Mad Max' look. Rusted, oxidized, weathered paint effects were achieved with various layers of washes and sponge-on techniques. Chains, shoulder mounted Broken Arrow Gatling gun casts, hoses, scrap shield, and other weapons were added to give him a fairly menacing look. I plan to do both movieverse and classic/generations style Transformers like this so keep an eye out!

I feel like this is the obvious and natural progression of movie Bee. I can totally see him and movie Prime just loosing it and deciding to take over the world in order to "protect" humanity not only from the Decepticons, but from itself as well, especially after the events of the fourth movie. They would cover themselves in upgrades made from pieces of dead Decepticons, as well as any Autobots who tried to stand in their way saying they had gone to far.

Ehh, I don't see them going THAT far, considering how Optimus would rather die than turn on Earth. He'd might be less willing to protect the earth now, but he still wants to defend it. And Bumblebee.... He's too adorbz to become semi-evil X33 XD but nice concept tho.

So dark and menacing. Even without the backstory it's easy to tell that the war has worn BB down and has twisted him to something else.
