[英语课(×)]听孩之宝设计师Mark Maher说：蜂鸣（BB）始源大黄蜂开发幕后
哦，始源（Origin)大黄蜂！在沃德（Warden，前孩之宝变形金刚品牌设计团队总策划）离开团队后，我很幸运地被赋予为这个（始源大黄蜂）项目（的主笔）。
首先来看看我对玩具包装的设计。正如我所提到的，装饰本身就是一门艺术，对于更大、更复杂的项目来说，这是相当具有挑战性的，同时还需要以爱来换取其制作时间！您还会看到装饰和背包背面的枪（blaster)和喷气背包（jetpack）颜色不一致。因为这些部件是由PA塑料（即Polyamide 聚酰胺，俗称Nylon 尼龙）制成的。他们并没有（像渲染涂上）使用银色ops（应该是指定向聚苯乙烯，是一种符合环保要求的新型贴体包装材料）。原因是模具中也有一些必不可少的黑色零件，所以我无法将模具制成银色。
（沮丧）同时因为很难获得与第一集中出现的金色棒一样的光泽，所以来制作我选择了另一种方式。我在制作过程中反复尝试在模具中添加尽可能多的珠光粉，让它们看起来很酷。
本产品的线稿由@ken_christiansen_art（INS名，也是IDW变形金刚系列的画师之一）完成(🤔) 但我不确定是不是因为沃德在我面前把它踢开了（才把这个设计丢给我）。
这个图像是国弘高史（Takashi Kunihiro）先生的模型初稿CAD绘图。我像往常一样在上面做出相应调整，我们在一些不同的事情上各自忙碌。
最终我还是选择把喷气背包上的金色能量棒支架删去，这只是为了（创造）一个漂亮的喷气背包而牺牲了美学。为此我还专门回顾了第一集，真正研究了这个赛伯坦形态的大黄蜂。老动画片设定的有趣和困难之处在于它们（双形态下）所存在的不一致性。
我对头部造型很挑剔，所以我真的很想给BB一张在本篇中活跃的丰满又干净的脸，（所以）不但在这款产品上还原了一张厚实的脸，还顺带去掉了脸颊上围城（动画）系列中的特色格栅脸造型。
过去我喜欢在包装背面看到我的绘画模型，但实物数据渲染也很酷，你们觉得呢？

“OH Origin Bumblebee! I was lucky to be gifted this project after Warden moved off the team.
.
First up is a glimpse of my deco layout for the pack. Doing deco, as I’ve mentioned, is an art in itself and for bigger more complicated projects, is quite challenging. The time consumption is definitely a labor of love! You will also see some inconsistencies in color for the blaster and the jetpack on deco and back of pack. Since those parts were made from PA plastic they wouldn’t take the painted silver ops. But some essential black peices were also in the mold so I couldnt make the mold silver.(Bummer)But I bumped up the color on the rods because it was really difficult to get the same glow as the golden rods that appeared on the episode. I went back and forth in production trying to add as much pearl fleck in the mold as possible to give them the cool looking shimmer.
.
The next drawing was done by @ken_christiansen_art (🤔) but I’m not certain as Warden kicked it off before me. The image to the right of it is Kunihiro san’s block model CAD drawing. I made some adjustments as I usually do, and we went back and forth on a couple different things.
.
I ended up cutting out the golden rod holder on the jetpack, it just compromised to much aesthetics for a nice looking jetpack. I also dipped back into episode 1 to really study this cybertronian BB here. The fun and somtimes difficult thing about old cell animated cartoons is the inconsistencies they contain. Im a stickler on head sculpts, so I really wanted to give BB the plump clean face he rocks in the episode, even if it is a lil on the thick side. Also got rid of the grid pattern he had on his cheeks which I think was a detail from the Siege series.
.
The rest of the images are more for all of you to weigh in on. I used to love to see my painted models on back of pack, but the digital renders are cool too, do yall have a preference?
.
Lastly, the instructions! Anyone have any feedback on those, layout? Colors? Helpful? Confusing? Better to have online transforming videos? Share your thoughts pwease ☺️”
