a smaller chested Nitro Convoy/Override, so it is possible
and look: clear feet (not red)

It certainly works better.

I like the Sideways and Firestar ones as well.

Hm... I wonder how they shrunk it down while maintaining all the parts... *Mind begins to fomrulate how.* Yeah. I can see it... But that's a touch extensive and only somethong to do if you really wanna. Otherwise it seems pretty futile as the upper body is still pretty wide. The difference is maybe about a half an inch on either side.

looks a whole lot better!

I can't tell anything from those pictures. I see those black bits on the back are lower, but I have no idea why.
arg. I wish the caps on the backs of the torso weren't glued on on mine.

If it weren't for the comparison pics i wouldn't even see the difference. Yeah, it's thinner, but it still doesn't look female.

It is a Japanese site so whoever did this probably wasn't going for a female look just more reasonable male body proportions.

They were attempting to feminise it. Quoted from the poster (translated awkwardly, of course)

Whoever did the conversion wrote:Width doing to stuff the body of the nitro convoy, it tried making the somatotype which is visible in the woman.
Because it has made expansion and contraction system, there is no strange feeling even with vehicle mode, becoming the sea urchin, whether the る.

The color ring burns and sprouts from DarkMatter of the board.

I dissasembled last night my Override trying to figure how the heck they did the mod, but i could find an answer (and reassemble the figure was pure HELL)

I have a version comming soon. it's almost done, just need another arm, and the secong headlight. then painted. This one looks pretty cool.

All they did was hack bits out of the back part and compress it all together. As well, if you notice, the black part her head is on the person also made able to lower/rise in bot mode. (Or just simply lowered.) Then there's the already mentioned clear headlights and... That's it. *Shrugs.*

You're seeing things. O_o;; (Unless you mean the headlights and/or lowered back part.)

What I'm talking about can easily be seen in the upper right pic/part of the pic.

THIS is a Femmy Override, anyone mind trying their hand at making the closest representation of what he Racer mode would look likt with a Bod like that. Im thinking Stylized Dragster (with such a small canopy.)

Yes. Or at least the female ones do. Face it, female belly buttons are sexy. If it was a male bot it would look stupid, but on a female it works for some reason.
and that's what I think anyway

Yeah...? All I'm thinking is "lust." *Goes back to drooling, making a mess all over the thread.* @m@;;

naughty girl, your girlfriend will beat you

What girlfriend? *Is single at current and now prefers to remain that way.* >.>! No relationship... No "one nighters"... Nothing... Just abstanance and hanging out with friends, having a good time. ^_^

If anything Override there is my grrrl. <_<!!
*Owns as always.* ^^

Gotta say...I love that Override drawing too...

It was so amazing; I'm using it as my avatar (for the time being).

(With the permission of Shade; of course ).

but you can't lower the black parts AND have it transform unless it's no longer attached. I can't tell how they made it transform and still look that way. I also can't tell what they did with the sides of the torso. it looks like they're just turned inward and not actually narrower. again, the vehicle mode doesn't show what's been done, unless that's not actually the vehicle mode of the altered version. you really can't tell.
hm... ok, I see a black tab on the side in vehicle mode that wasn't there before. doesn't really say much. I also see that ... I guess they carved out areas of the shoulder so the cockpit could fit over top of it. hard to tell if the vehicle mode is permanently narrower or not. I guess they narrowed it and then narrowed the black part that the head sits on so that it could fit between. I'm guessing they also would have had to carve out more space for the arms to fit in vehicle mode since the shoulders are closer together. ... huh. but the arms are connected to the shoulderblades, and don't look any narrower so it's more likely the arms are in the way of the central section that has the hinge connected to the front bit of the car that the legs attach to. :S

I think i've got it. there are 2 possible solutions to make it smaller and keep or remove the quick change feature. to remove it, they had cut, and removed the center of the body. and to keep it, you remove small sections alond the inside of the red area's. what this guy did, I don't know, it was one of those, but I don't think the quick change is there. Because of the body being thinner, the windshield cannot fit in it's normal sopt. So what they have done is pushed the window out so it goes on top of the rest of the chest. No change has been done to the windshield. The plate that holds the head was probobly modified in only one way. there's probly an extra hinge added to the back of the head area to make the back piece sit lower. and for the width, there are notches on the inside of the main body so the head plate can fit. Because of these notches, there is no way to transform it without widening the chest, so most likely the chest can still be seperated. Most of what i have said is shown in the small pic on the top center of the main pic.

and for the hips, a small chunk of plastic was removed, and then it was glued back together. You can tell this by, when looking at the origional character the legs to not line up with the outside of the vents on the hips, but in the KB version, they do.

Um... That tab's always been there. O_o;; (The one on the shoulder.) For some reason I can't recall what it's for atm... (My Override's both been altered quite a bit and is also currently stored at my parent's place, quite a distance from me.)

If the shot of the altered one beside the original isn't enough to convince you, then here's TFU's thing on her:
http://tfu.info/2005/Autobot/Override/override.htm

that black tab is there to aid with the quick change feature. when you press the nose of the car it releases the main part of the car, then there is a small white tab that hits the black one making the 2nd part of the quick change go off. Basically, it's there to activate a spring, and it moves so it doesn't get caught on the rest of the body, and cause problems for the gimmic.

I dunno, I reckon Dark Nitro Convoy looks better anyway.

not on the front! on the side, behind the windshield area! -_-;
I wish they had better pictures of that mod. from mid-transformation so you could see some parts.

is it possible to circle it in the image? I'm not exactly sure what part it is you are talking about.
