I figure Bumble Bee will be 46 cm tall (I printed BB at 91% to fit onto 8x11 paper). This means that Bumble Bee will be about half the the size of Optimus which is somewhere near the proper scale.

Very cool, MSP! I will probably do exactly what you have done. I also printed BB at 91%. I was wondering how much to scale down OP to get the 1:2 ratio between BB and OP. They will look very cool next to each other when done. Look forward to seeing your completed scaled build of BB and OP (when it's fully released)! :D
