looks awesome.

that is nice.

Is that the deluxe scale figure?

Someone digibash it into silverstreak or Prowl for me.

yeah, I think it's a Deluxe. That is a huge improvement in the legs/feet.

I think I'll be selling me classic Camaro BB in favor of this one. Its an upgrade in pretty much every way.

I'm pretty surprised with this one. I've never been fond of Bumblebee, Camaros, or of yellow cars, (especially not with black stripes) but this guy looks good. I'll probably be picking him up, and calling him Hubcap, or something. He can harass the guy I'll be kitbashing out of a Barricade.

greyrider junior?

No....

If it's a soundwave, care to swap ideas?

It's another one of my original characters. It'll be a new version of my Alpha Strike character. This one will be losing the gray, and have a different head design. (Let's face it, the original was basically Alt Greyryder) The hardest part's gonna be turning it back into a Ford Mustang, instead of a Saleen.

What was your idea?

Rebuild the arm transformation, Connect the door to the windows after shaving it down and attach the former forarms to the legs and replace the head with blackouts and recolor the bot parts blue. Leave the alt mode as is. I still haven't figured out how to deal with the fron tires yet. I was origionally going to make prowl but the guyhas a robot in his chest for goodness sake.

I was also going to repaint Frenzy black and red.

I'll be turning most of the front of the car into a single pice, Both hood halves, and the grill. Getting the push bar off, ought to prove interesting. I'll be cutting a hole in the hood, for the head to come up through. Probably end up with a panel sticking up off the windshield. I'm keeping the arms attached to the doors, and just making new hands for them. The quarter panels are going on hte legs, where they belong. The shoulder pieces are getting modified to be shoulder cannon. The legs are getting modified to transform more like the Alt Mustangs.

I'd make a Prowl too, if I could come up with a good way to get the legs like the G1 toy. Barricade just doesn't lend himself to adding any kind of rotational joint in the waist area.

We are so totally off topic, now.

Not really, Originally i asked someone to photoshop this guy in silver because I droped the prowl idea off of barricade fo this figure instead. This one would make a great silverstreak or Prowl (in my opinion). I liked the transformation of the bumblebee out now but he's just too darn anerexic.

Greyrider, I don't think you will actually need to mod his lower legs. I have Barricade, and you can rotate his legs 180 degrees below the knee, and rotate the feet as well, leaving the car's back windows on his shins. It also means he essentally has a double jounted knee, able to bend 180 degrees, giving him great poseability. Though it does mean that he has no foot movement. Oh well, Barricade's feet weren't meant to move anyway. I can take a picture if you want.

or you can use loc barricade. far less work from what i think you mean





damn my bad keyboard skills. i had to correct 4 words dammit.

yeah,but offtopic is a good thing. keeps the topic busy.

I've seen that done. But, it would put the wheels and quarter panels on the insides of the feet. I'f I make a Prowl, I'll probably give him G1 Jazz style legs.

I want a deluxe sized figure. LOC Barricade is too damned small.

Couldn't get it really silver, turned out more of a jazz looking grey.

i think the 70's camaro is more appropriate for streak/prowl/smokey.

Don't tempt me, damnit!

yeah,or perhaps he can be a little mini-con for him.
(G1 fans vomit)

Actually, the LOCs are almost perfectly to scale with my slot cars, and I was building a fully sceniced track....

do micromasters count as G1? (in your book, since yes, it's debatable)
