Jolt custom! HELP!!!

I am on a project. I love JOLT and i know that there is no HA JOLT "Human Alliance JOLT" so i am gonna make one. :D The basic figure i am gonna use is of HA Bumblebee. HA bumblebee's head looks similar to jolt when you remove the battle mask on HA bumblebee. I have painted the car with blue colour and i have added those lightining bolts decals.
Now in robot mode i plan to remove HA BB left hand and right cannon and put it to my other HA BB. And i also plan to insert LED lights inside HA BB arms so that when i insert the whips and switch on the LED, They look like lighting bolt.
But the main problem is I dont know how to make those electric whips. :-( I am going to upload the images soon of the project when its over. Does anyone have a idea on how to make those electric whips? :???:

I wanted some better whips for my deluxe Jolt so I used the twist-ties from ROTF Jetfire's packaging and just wrapped them around Jolt's hand (so they were non-permanent. The end result are nice, long whips that can be posed and manipulated for different poses. Maybe you could paint the twist-ties in a translucent blue paint and attach the barbed tips to the end. I hope that helps

That's a good idea Mightwork! But the problem is that those twist and ties are small for a Human alliance figure. But yes, they go well with a Deluxe figure. ;)
BTW, I will try it out and see if it works. Does anybody else have another idea? :???:

AH! i can help.. I have 2 suggestions 1 is slightly cheaper than the other other

1. Try and find a Doctor Octopus marvel figure, preferably a larger one and use the tendrils..Might take some sculpting to get them to look right but I think it could work.

2. Zippers...I know it sounds crazy but I've used them before for similar projects and they work nicely. Try Micahels or any crafts store and you should be able to find various sizes and colors.Hijack some pegs from another figure and glue them to the zipper. You can add a bit of apoxy to certain areas to keep the zippers in a fixed shape or just leave the way they are for an actual whip.. I would still keep some of those zip ties around as you could use them for the electrofying effect your searching for..Just wrap em around the zipper and give a nice vibrant blue paint job.

Hope some this helps..

To be honest, This is the best idea i have seen so far!!! I am going to use that Doctor Octopus tendrils as whips. My friend does have some Doctor Octopus figures and i am sure that he will sell one to me. Thank you LIKWID for that idea!

But if you're using HA Bumblebee, How will Jolt turn into a Volt?
