expecialy the "fleshy" bits

not much on her is actually different. gold hips and fingertips and a little patch of stomach. the windshield goes all the way from her neck to her hips so there's no way to see that. (the windshield in the picture is impossibly small)
and I don't feel like doing the chinstrap.

Could s/he still transfrom with that Modification? hmmmm


No. As a direct copy from that pic, no the transformation will not work.


what about this? just cut the white chest/shoulders in half?
yes, that is more possible. the reason why the other was not is because the whole black thing on her back must come up and go where the cockpit is on her chest.

In the Hasbro?s transformers page, they talk of Override as "she"... They feminize the Speedia Leader in the series???
If they do that... What the hell they are thinking??? I never see a Lady with that kind of torso.. except in the WWF :?


Think of her as if she was in a space suit.

For one, take your Cybertron OR and pry the gold headlight covers off and stip the paint off of them.

I sanded mine down but I used sanding degree sticks to smooth the surface back out so it doesn't look scratchy but smooth.

I then painted the inside area of the headlights on the feet silver so the detail shows through the clear red plastic.

After you put the covers back on it kinda looks like a painted nail on a females hand. It helps with bringing the fem out as well as show the light details underneith the foot cover.

I also too my cockpit apart and cut it in half then made a long cut out of the peg hols so the chest and lift back up. Cleaned it up, reassembled it and now it lifts up more so the wiat doesn't look so fat.Doesn't really make it look more femme but it does make her look better proportioned.

TFM


Someone should repro the Headlight covers into a clear plastic.
The figure is just too bulky to really do anything on her I see her as a hyped up body builder/Racer

the problem is really that the character was designed male, then given a female personality. Regardless of if hasbro intended it to be Female from the start, Takara designed it with a male in mind. So you have a very masculane body. You'd be better off scratch building if wanted to get a truly female figure for Overdrive.

F' it! I'm cuttin' the chest in half, pattin' it pink and white, slappin' E. Arcee's head on it and callin' it a day. It won't transform but it'll be cool. I'm sure you guys can figure something out, best of luck to you all.

... she would make a good Arcee, but I'd go about that all different. I would use the back-sides of the car as shoulderpads, hollow the front end of them out so the arms could stick out the bottoms in robot mode. move the hinge on the wheel flipping over, and move the shoulder closer to that hinge, so that it's pretty much the same in vehicle mode, but the shoulder ends up coming out right where the wheel is. make the shoulders round, angle the back end of the windshield, maybe hinge the head to fold under the windshield. maybe make it so her boots swivel around to become her thighs. and change the backpack and head of course.

I'm not sure what good clear headlight covers would do. I'm not sure it would effect it that much.

I was watching Cybertron the other day,and Override looks a little ?butch? in the show too, which also suits her personality as well. The figure reminds me of one of my Sergeants when I was in the Army many years ago. She was shaped like a brick wall, not a womanly curve to be seen. T0o really ?feminize her, Override would need some serious reconstruction. If I were to do it, I?d use the drawing of her found on the map that comes with the toys. Basically, make the side panels smaller and shorter, then add tapered obliques to her.

does anyone have a scan of that picture?

well, built like a brick wall (or brick @#$%-house, as a term I'm more familiar with) is a valid look. I guess she's got a lot of torq in her torso. eheh. :S I just wish more female TFs were more average looking instead of butch or barbie. You get Strika and Override on one end, and TM2 Blackarachnia and Energon Arcee on the other. well I guess Arcee was a little more normal. a little difficult to moderate those proportions on such a small figure though. ho-hum. semantics.
personally, I think she'd look pretty average with her torso half the width. looking at my photoshop, I still thought it looked androgenous at best.

hm, in addition to her shoulderblades being half the width, her lower half seems like it's the same width as her upper-body. That's quite the exaggeration.

Perhaps remodeling her canopy in vehicle mode by basing it on the Mach 5 from Speed Racer might give a more female shape???

Clocker is an awesome looking figure. I love the repaint of him that was shown at Botcon this year too.

i probably wouldnt have a problem wiht override if she was a he, cuz when you first saw pics of the figure and the name, nitro convoy, u knew it was gonna be male, but nooooooooo hasbro had to confuse and anger us, but making him a she, and to anger us, they made her wicked bulky!

it's not hasbro's fault. Cartoon Network is the one that wanted the change. They wanted more female characters. So Hasbro had to do it. I find it worked out well for the show, but the toy does need some work.

How on Earth would Cartoon Network have a say in how many female charaters the show got?

I mean I guess its possible, but I jsut don't see how or why they'd care. Its a cartoon aimed at little boys, they have one main female character in Lory, don't see the point of changing Nitro Convoy like they did.

The reason why is that Cartoon Network also wants to attract the female audience as well. Even if they don't buy the toys. More female characters attract more girls to the show.

Even if CN had nothing to do with the "gender" change, theres no argument that the "chemistry" between Override and the girls in the show just works. Having watched Cybertron and seeing the interaction between Speedia and Earth females, watching GF would just seem weird because haveing the nickname "little-sister" go threw my mind and haveing Nitroconvoy talk would just seem to "Transvestite" like.
