Sydney Oz Comic-Con December 4-5 featuring Cyberverse Bumblebee.

Wow, that is.... A pile of parts in humanoid form.
Supanova this year really is just a ticketed shopping event.

Just be aware that it is a sculpture... inspired by an object, not a replication of that object. It is limited by the materials available, and as expected from sculptures, it is an artistic interpretation of an object.
Considering the timeframe and materials available, I think it turned out quite good. It was probably a talking piece at the convention, to draw attention to what was actually being advertised (season 4 of Cyberverse).

Even though I was told by the "Hasbro" marketing contact that the Bumblebee sculpture was NOT going to Melbourne... the artist has posted on instagram that it will be at the Melbourne Oz Comic Con this weekend... and included some extra photos.

Understood but I think HSC metalwork students could do a while lot better and make it look both more like the source material and a humanoid robot. It's quite a disappointing model considering its from a professional who I am sure was paid very well.

According to my contact, the artist is aiming to have the sculpture at the Melbourne convention, but it depends on a number of factors getting it there (it's not exactly something you can post in the mail or stick in the back of your car)... so the artist was jumping the gun by saying that it will be there.

I was told that it didn't make it to the Melbourne convention... but Hasbro has posted up a quick video of it on their Instagram here, and one of the artists has posted up some more images on facebook.
