80 bucks tops. And that's only so I can flip the chest around Punch/Counterpunch style and create a new generic character.

It's still available for order, I guess it's not as sought after as FPC made us to believe.... although compared at the going rate of $150 on ebay, $80 is not bad.

I like it.

I don't $80 plus shipping like it.

I got the Virus !!!! :KREMZEEK:

Anyways, Im gonna put him with my Gobots repaints and dub him "Classics Psycho". He will look good next to Van Guardian, Roswell, Fracture, Bugbite, Badboy, and Spoons.

I was thinking of calling him "SARS" at first. But he will be going on my classics Gobots shelf as Psycho. You can flip the chest around Punch/Counterpunch style and flip the cockpit up to look like Psycho's "ccokpit head". It looks pretty cool actually.

That sounds awesome, I may have to display mine the same way. He won't just be a "Nemesis" Code in this manner.

Here it is, my version of Classics Psycho which is the only reason I bought this repaint:

The colors and the miss-transformation really make it work. Even the vehicle mode is not so far off from the concept of a futuristic car.

Or if you prefer something a little more “neo” the mold repaint still has the potential to be a totally new character with the old Punch/Counterpunch trick…

But I prefer him as a Gobot. The crew is getting pretty big now….

Nice! I see what you mean. I remember playing with that Go-Bot at one of my cousins' house. Did you look to see if you can reverse the fists? Or, I suppose you could take some left over guns and create the pincer look of Psycho. I like it!

Thanks. You would have to remove a pin to reverse the fists. Too scary for me. But you can turn them with the top of the hand up to give it a sort of claw look (I forgot to do it in these pics. Or he can hold the guns which really hides the upside down fists in most poses.
