If I may make a suggestion or two?
The boxy look of the roof(?) behind his/her(entertaining the though you might make it a fem-bot/con) head would make it a good candidate for either Runabout or Runamuck, or if you added a V-shaped ornament to the head and used some kabaya figures as partners you could turn him into Dezaras(deathsaurus), but it also would look great as an ALT Spinner or custom.
If you'd go for the custom bot/con option then please consider these palettes and names:
*teal-blue and fern-green (m:Tideline/f:Ferncrest)
*Sharkskin-grey with turquoise&black tribal design(m:Orkhan/f:Wiccaseii)
*Shadowed light gray with purple(not flames) (m:Graffiti/f:Wall-art)
*White with mountie-red (canadian flag motive maybe?) (m:Timber/f:Snowlock)

Though this bot still has a lot of work to be done I'd definitely love to see it finished. Erh, any chance of a follow-along or at least a small how-to guide by the bye???

Change the head and call him Runabout or Runamuck....thats the first thought that crossed my mind. It reminds me of the shots of them in Transformers Infiltration...yes, I know those were Camaro's but hey, the look of the bot is what I'm referring to.

by **alpha_alternator** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 8:00 am

dude Skyfire, i appreciate the suggestion that you are giving me
you talk like a true professionnal kitbasher!
and no i do not have a follow-along or at least a small how-to guide, sorry!

what head do you think that i should use on this custom?

Runabout or Runamuck sound good for this custom, but i am not sure yet.
now i need to find lot of picture of him

by **incecticons forever** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 8:15 am

the best head for runamuck/bout is the cybertron runamuck fig. ive seen it used on another alt.

by **alpha_alternator** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 8:37 am

i just went to see cybertron runamuck head but i think he will be to small for an alternators size head?o

I really like that the front of the car becomes the feet. That's a transformation that was common in G1, but has yet to see an alt release. Good job.

by **plowking** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 9:02 pm

Can we get a side view?

by **alpha_alternator** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 9:57 pm

i will take picture tomorrow

are you trying to build one for yourself?

Now, that is the type of transformation I would like to see done for an Alternators Bumblebee, if, the car roof is the chest. It is, isn?t it?

by **gawd6sic6** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 11:30 pm

looks like the hood to me.......

I used it on my Runabout.

by **alpha_alternator** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 11:58 pm

but the roof it not a bad idea also, i will considered it

i just add more stuff on my kitbash
i put the 4 wheel on him, NOW he look freaking cool...and yet still a lot of work to do on him

The roof as his chest would look ten-times better, and you could then make the hood form his shins which would then fill up that gaping hole between his feet and knees. This would mean that the hood would have to be reverse hinged 9the hing in front by the grill rather than back by the windshiled)

Look, it's Movie Jazz!

Looking pretty good. Definately a Runamuck/Runabout.

by **alpha_alternator** » Sun Aug 20, 2006 10:37 am

yeah i think i will make another one with the roof in the front
i will my the same kitbash but 2nd version
i am going to buy a another pontiac GTO model kit and try to find the freaking cybertron runamuck, almost sold out everywhere, accept on ebay:)
many thank's Tramp

and thank you Ra88
you really think he look like jazz, maybe i should put an alternators jazz head on this kitbash!

hold on one sec, Sideswipe/Deadend/Sunstreaker, Tracks/Ravage, Windcharger/Dragstrip.

Edit** oh, and as far as character names go, yea, runabout and runamuck are good, but most of the pull back and go characters would really work consitering the bulk on his back and behind his head. I could see him being Searchlight since right now he's still all white, but Chase (red one) or Freeway (blue) would work as well.

by **alpha_alternator** » Sun Aug 20, 2006 1:45 pm

jimsloth is right Insane Galvatron about the front of the car becomes the feet ahhaha everybody make mistake

anyhow, the name that you gave me are excellent reference for my kitbash

thank's jimsloth

by **Greyryder** » Sun Aug 20, 2006 3:06 pm

Actually, on those guys the front of the car became the legs. This has the front of the car as the actually feet, ala G1 Wheeljack/Sunstreaker/Downshift/Cliffjumper etc.

Anywho. Looking forward to see more of this. It looks great, so far.
