The video of this guy Transforming is actually completed.... I have to figure out how to post it in here....

Fully loaded Original G-1 concept Transformer:

Showdown - '67 Shelby Mustang with body-kit.
12,409 polygons - Alt/Root-Modes, including Interior
Normal Mapped and textured like a mo-fo....
Hologram shader on the left-arm/Passenger door of vehicles changes color depending on the angle of the vehicle!

This character was also created in Honor of the Halo Lead Artist, Shikai Wang. He changed my life when it came to FPS games and I am a HUGE fan of his art. http://www.bungie.net/Inside/MeetTheTeam.aspx?person=wang

Every series needs a mini-boss. This is my interpretation of one. By far this is one of the most intricate things I have ever built. There is VERY minimal scaling involved... i think MAYBE 1 part scales when Transforming. Video forthcoming.


Bio:
This cocky young robot has a twin brother known as Showtime and together, they prove to be a menacing duo like no other. Apart, they become weak and flawed. When ordered, he will convey a clear message as to why hes called Showdown. When not in the middle of a fight, he becomes overzealous about looking good and swears he is the best looking thing on Wheels. On one occasion, SIDESWIPE was having an off-day and became mildly jealous and discouraged during a firefight due to Showdowns incessant taunting. Also believes that if it weren't for MENASOR, the STUNTICONS would be an absolute waste of MEGATRONS time due to their lack of common sense.

Has the ability to verbally attack his opponents COURAGE and lower it, making his opponents morale drop significantly and rethink its battle-plan... mostly by running away. Equipped with a double-barreled Flack-Shock Cannon that has been known to disable his enemies battle systems when taking too much damage from it. Unsure as to weather to join the AUTOBOT cause, Showdown is in dread fear to stand up to any of the DECEPTICONS due to his lack of flight capabilities. He fears SKYWARPS uncanny ability to assassinate traitors the most.
