Argh! When's your new camera getting here? These pics don't do your customs justice!

I love it! Espesically the reverse transformation!

thanks man. even though it's janky, i may use it as a botcon entry.

man, i thought everyone would be all over this, no love for getaway. anyway, i'm going to make him a powermaster us vanishing points idea. unless i can get an actual powermaster to cut up. it doesn't have to be g1 getaways specifically.

I like Getaway (was at one moment even thinking of making one from an extra Dead End), and I do think the window mod is interesting, but...I can't see a d@mn thing with these pics.

(Sorry, but the pics are really bad.)

All of them look cool....Prime looks sweet! I like Getaway also. The head swap is really working for me on Blur and I'm diggin' Hot Rod and UM.

When you're done admiring them all, just send them to me

Ironhide

I am really liking this! The jeep fits him so well!!!

for pure g1 giggles on the tab the head is in front of I'd paint the g1 toy's "face"

by **STPrime** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 8:08 am

well, i do have that face from reprolabels upgrade set. but i think it's to small. but why would you want a sticker when you have the real thing?

I think he means the wierd electrical looking face for those fanboys out there that are more for G1 toy referencing than Toon accuracy.

The G1 toy's face would be great for giggles. It's barely recognizable as a face, so it'd look like cool detailing to anyone who wasn't in the know. Is that a modified Skids head or a full-on custom? The thick arms of the jeep mold combined with several aspects of the color scheme that come with it do give the impression of rough-and-tumble Ironhide. Taking away the doors and rollbars also helps distinguish him. Nice job! Plan on doing a custom plate?

by **STPrime** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 10:16 am

thanks.

it's actually a prowl head that i went to town on. i carved a bunch off and built the mohawk up some. i wanted him to have a weatherd face.

i don't have anyway to make custom plates so no on that one.

extra points. I hate prowls head because the mold had just one piece for both the helmut and face, and it looked cheep to me, but you seem to have solved that by carving away their crappy helmut and building up your own new one. I was actually about to ask you that before I read it. Cuddos.

BT Armada Hot Shot

by **Hobbyist Prime** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:34 pm

I'm liking that! He really looks cool with the visor down!

News Credits: 1 · by **Menbailee** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:51 pm

I'm surprised how much you got him looking like Armada Hot Shot. It's another one of those hidden-in-plain view mods, since BT Tracks starts out yellow, but it's not intuitive that he'll look that much like the character until someone with a talent for design paints him well. It looks like you took the head right off the original. Now the real question is, can you rig this guy to combine with an appropriately scaled Jolt!

by **STPrime** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 8:20 am

thanks man. that is the armada head with a smokescreen back. i'm thinking about tinting the windows blue and maybe doing something with the car mold. so would one of the energon combatican helicopters be the right size for jolt?

by **Vanishing Point** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 12:46 pm

damn... that's nice

kudos galore on this one

by **Hobbyist Prime** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 5:15 pm

Man O man! Just the thought of one of the energon combiners as a minicon is making me giddy!!!!

by **plowking** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 5:34 pm

That is cool STPrime! I'm feeling these a lot!

by **STPrime** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 8:44 am

finally got the chest sticker. Thanks maximal prime!
