What can I do to make Cybertron Override look more like a girl. Without... doing major construction?im thinking maybe paint the face silver with red lips? any other thoughts?

You could shave down the chin to a more female look.

I'm doin the same thing. I'm roing to try and redo the face... and make the body look slimmer. but what I'm doin is more than minor

I really can't help you much there except for a few minor touchups...

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.

Not really...no.

well howabout some Progress Pics of YOUR Override mod??

I'd really like to get a hold of this toy, but I've sworn off buying full retail price unless I think it's going to be truely uncommon and highly sought after.

that said, I think if you could slide the two parts of her shoulderblades together, behind her windshield, that would be the best improvement. unfortunately you'd have to do something with the top white parts, since those would... get in the way of her head.
carve down her wrists a bit. putty some bulk onto her thighs. putty some more pronounced angles on those vents over her rear wheels.

maybe by using an articulated doll and putting Override to parts, so that only a small amount of scratchbuilding is necesary

Hmmm... maybe by giving her totally new hands, a lot like GF Chromina...

sure. block hands aren't ideal, but even in that drawing her hands have some weight to them. personally I wouldn't go with anything too organic or tiny though. blocky and medium sized, just posed a little more loose and angular. like... pointer-finger 30 to 45 degrees looser, instead of a full 90 that the cube hands have.

I still say her torso/shoulder width is the biggest problem though.

I'm just afraid with all that auto-transform stuff in there, that it won't be strong enough to slide together. I mean all the parts are connected through that shoulder-blade section, aren't they? (I never saw a picture from behind without the arms or back-flap in the way. Remy has two, one in vehicle mode, with the arms in the way, and one in robot mode with the back flap AND the removable gun section. not even a pic from the back without the gun section added)

wow. Nitro Convoy / Override has a really really wide torso.

no, really. this is the real thing.

If someone could figure out a way to customize Override to look like that first pic, and change the head to look more "feminine", then I think that would work well; at least for starters.

That is somewhat what I'm doing.

Could s/he still transfrom with that Modification? hmmmm

someone who actually owns the toy would have to take a guess at that.

btw, I also made minor modifications. nose, mouth, wrists, thighs, and of course the hips.

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?

if you want to make a smaller chest, you'll need to thin out the arms, as those are taking all the place behind the chest

I have a question...

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

it has been known since begin this year that she was a she, altough it was unclear (at that time) if Nitro Convoy was gonna be a she as well

ow, and dont forget Strika, she is also a fembot and on steroids

Might I ask wtf Override is holding???? Cause if that was supposed to come with the figure, i dont think mine got one

Judging by the color of the tip, it's a missile from Energon Sixshot. (repaint of Shockblast)
