The Cub transforms in to the BLACK BEAR, growing long slicing fingers and a
matching attitude.

Little Bot? That design is like 5 years old.
Who said I was going to build more of them?

Its just a name, not a name sake.

In person, it looks better.

Mark, chill, just let me have fun. I push myself plenty enough.
This was just an excersize to re-create the design.
When The Cub is sold in Mech Bay 09, I didn't want to loose the design.
So I built another to study it.
I have some requests to create instructions for The Cub.
Building the BLACK BEAR was a step in that process.
Now, if the name sake gives you ideas, well that is another story.
A story for another build. Have at it.
Thanks for your feedback.

P.S. I only had 4 of the six pairs of binoculars in black needed to build the
hands at the original specifications. So, I built an alternate set of hands.
I had to decide if the hands were a good fit. Then I decided what the heck, the
hands are cartoony and they reflect the mission capabilities of the transformed
Cub.
