# Cyberton Console Mods Transformers Bumblebee Xbox 360 Gives Gaming a Robotic Makeover By Matt Ho | Published 2011-12-10 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transformers-bumblebee-xbox-360 References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2011/12/06/transformers-bumblebee-xbox-360-slim-casemod/) & [facebook](http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2459479971044.2121061.1373492978&type=3) The latest console modification comes from Mark Bongo who created the [Transformers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-and-transformers-1) Bumblebee Xbox 360 for fans of the robots in disguise. Bongo's Transformers Bumblebee Xbox 360 was modeled after a large remote controlled toy from the franchise. To be more exact, it's in the form of the 2006 [Chevrolet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumblebee-bike) [Camaro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1957-chevy-corvette) from the Michael Bay movies. While it's not Bumblebee himself, it's still a pretty cool creation. The CD compartment is located at the grill of the car while the power outlets are in the rear of the car. Bongo has also added bright blue lights and a few Autobot insignias around the car for details. The controller also gets the Bumblebee treatment with the character's signature black and yellow colors. With Bumblebee complete, I wonder if Bongo will consider modifying a console out of Decepticon's Starscream. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Robotic Console Mods:** The creation of personalized and customized robotic-based console modifications. - **Franchise-based Console Mods:** The trend of developing custom console modifications based on popular film and TV franchises. - **Character-inspired Gaming Peripherals:** The increasing popularity of character-inspired controllers and gaming accessories. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Gaming and Console Mods:** Companies that specialize in creating customized and personalized consoles and gaming peripherals. - **Toy and Collectible Industry:** Companies that create licensed toys and collectibles based on popular film and TV franchises could explore console modifications as a new product category. - **3D Printing and Design Services:** Activating demand for 3D printing and design services from small makers and companies to create unique game console accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personalized Artful Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nak-studio.md) - [Custom-Built Sci-Fi Series Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumblebee-bike.md) - [Doll-Inspired Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-xbox-series-s.md) - [Superhero-Themed Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xbox-series-x-thor-love-and-thunder.md) - [Celebratory Automotive Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-x-xbox-consoles.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Game Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spongebob-squarepants-xbox-series-x.md) - [Cartoon-Branded Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-the-hedgehog-xbox.md) - [Collaboration Sci-Fi Gamer Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-the-mandalorian-xbox.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Game Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-mandalorian-game-consoles.md)
