Well, i got a Digital Camera, so i have better pics

This time i'll show you how to make Shoulder Cannons for the Alternator Silverstreak

1.- We need 1 or 2 Greenjeeper/Rollbar's cannons (preferently from a normal size KO version)
2.- Cut the connectors for Armorhide/Dangar & Ro-Tor/Hepter cannons.
2.- Cut the cannon back part.
3.- Heat the handle a little bit for bland it and modify it to fit Silverstreak's shoulder hole, if the cannon doesn't enter, use sand paper for scratch the handle.

Greenjeeper's gun modified.

Inserting cannons in Silverstreak

It fits perfectly

Alt. Silverstreak with a better G1 look

NOTE: I used Silverstreak, but any Subaru Alternator can be used for do this.

Nicely done. And good idea, using heat to soften the plastic so you can make it fit. What sort of heat source did you use?

This is a great idea! Armed ALTs are good alts....

You might want to check and see if your digital camera has a 'Macro' setting - it sometimes is represented with a little flower icon. It will make those close-up shots nice and clear!

Unfortunately my camera doesn't have that

For soft the plastic i used a lighter (you can use a "zippo" or a candle for do this)

I was only giving him a more G1 look.

A heat gun would work a little better and then you don't need to clean up the smoke etching!

I tried to transform him, but some of the paint was scratched off and the process removed the Autobot Logo in his left arm, i used a Autobot symbol of a KO Aerialbot for fix the problem.
