Aww, you beat me to the Dolorean! XD

And GL, that paint job looks great! I would think it'd be real time consuming to do that for every car though. Are you only doing it for a few?

Looking back over, the Delorean and Supra shadows seem to be messed up, but they should be there *Head scratch*

Some of your altmodes need to be adjusted to 100x100px and 50x50px

Actually you need to fill in the rest of the background. You left some of it transparent. And, you forgot the drop shadows

my current alt mode (well kinda, not sure if you guys would care for a police version, but i can make one if you want it)

This is an example of the custom paintjob thing I mentioned earlier.


When that image is placed under the car instead of a solid colour, this happens.

I'm thinking of saving custom paint jobs for awards.

Oh, neat idea! So there would be commander rank stripes and stuff? It would be way easier to make those custom as needed, since only some bots would get awards.

I was thinking more for tournament and competition awards.

Ok, couple more for today:

and Wheeljack:

From the toy galleries. I was working on his alt mode, but PSP got pissy and crashed on me. I'll get it done tomorrow.

And I saw you added the hex for the proper background color Mogwai, but I thought it was just plain white. What's so special about the hex code version?

I did the drop shadows. I think they either a didn't show up well or i must have accidently had 'em organized in the wrong spot. As for filling in the background, i've gone back to try and do that, and it doesn't appear i'm able to with Gimp, if any other Gimp users know how to do this, let me know please.

Also, if i knew of a screen capture program like you used, Mogwai, i would be willing to make a vid tutorial of a Gimp walkthrough(provided i figure out the excess background stuff.)

EDIT::
This better? (If so i figured it out.)

Sorry to be picky Raph, but you've still missed the dropshadows. Its the problem I keep having, forgetting to move the layer above the off-white background befroe saving as an .png - Ive had to redo 2 or 3 of them for that now.
Other than that, its looking awesome.

Its just subtly darker and is the difference between just the alt showing and it having a pale box around it. I got it wrong on a few occasions at the start too, at least its usually easy to go back and correct.

Yeah. I knew the drop shadow was still screwed up, i was testing to see if what i did worked with the white background after resizing.
