Just going to jump on a small soap box for a moment. I love transformers. My kids and I enjoy it together. We bought all of the old cartoons and all of the movies over time. It didn’t take too long for my kids to realize that the Bumble bee in the movies was different from the one we remember in the cartoons. Camaros are cool, I admit. That being said, Bumble Bee is a bug. It only took movie makers 6 films to figure it out. They finally got it right. Bumble Bee is one of our favorite movies. This is one reason we got the bug to play with. The steering wheel in our bug was not original, so, I don’t feel bad about using the rotary tool on it to custom fit the replacement horn. I found a place on line that offered a universal horn that had the Auto bot logo on it. Corny! I don’t care. I feel good about adding this small modification to make my kids happy. I took a gamble and ordered the horn as it stated that it fits all steering wheels with a 2 inch hole. I measured and it was close enough to gamble on. According to my luck (as Murphy’s long lost nephew) of course it didn’t fit. I took the opportunity to teach my daughter how to use a rotary tool to force objects to give me what I want. We marked up the holes and traced the horn and began to slowly make cuts to the soft inner ring inside the wheel and after a short while, it fit and snapped into place like the new horn was made for it. I figured if we failed, a whole new steering wheel is around $30 so it fell into the nothing ventured nothing gained territory. I also got to teach her how to wire the horn up since the blade connectors did not match with the bug. We decided to wait until the car was more complete before fitting the Transformers logo so we can enjoy the cherry on top of the ice cream.
Love the bumblebee
