I can see it, but that massive backpack containing the intrusive gimmick will be a pain to deal with. But if you can sacrifice the gimmick to relocate the kibble elsewhere, and resulting in a relatively clean bot, that would be impressive. Also, you'll have to figure out a way to give his trademark "cockpit" chest.

But one thing is sure, it would be one HELL of a job. Especially if it remain transformable and keep it's vehicle mode.
Isn't there easier molds to do it?
ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:EDIT: Actually, looking at Generations Blurr you could probably rework his shoulders to be like that. Of course, both he and Punch-Counterpunch would need some work on their vehicle mode fronts.

Generations sportscar Blurr or Drift would definitely work. Plus the front hood is mostly empty shell. Easily moddable.
Only problem is they are now ridiculously expensive on the aftermarket. I'll never get rid of my Drift but I regret selling Blurr. With luck, you may find a weaponless one for a reasonable price.

Beast Hunters Shockwave
wearing SIEGE Shockwave's shoulder armor
as well as his own
and maybe some Gundam parts
would make a great Imperious Delirious

I'll take your "tame one" and turn it into something mad-scienty.
That Jurassic Park jeep would turn into MAN-RAPTOR in robot mode! Just change the head and the hands of the robot into the raptor's for some hilarious result!

Still fairly tame. I mean, there's no substantial re-engineering or anything like that.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:What about Sixgun into Metroshot?
As for Cog... Half-Track? Heavytread? Sentius Malus maybe? That last one's kinda a stretch, I realize.
Going beyond G1... Brunt into (a rather shrimpy) Cybertron Defense Red Alert? Cog into Demolishor (because of all the guns)?
ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:What do you think of the Metroshot idea?
Also, here's another idea I had: Combiner Wars Offroad into a neo-G1 version of Crumplezone or Dirt Boss (akin to RTS Lugnut). And CW Legends Groove similarly into a version of Ransack
I was thinking Crumplezone or Dirt Boss because, as antagonists from a racing-centric world, they'd fit in well with the Stunticons.Latebrus-K wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:What do you think of the Metroshot idea?

At first, I wasn't too interested since there doesn't seem to be a metrotitan in development... but then I realized I have a Grand Max otw so anything is possible. Thanks to some recent personal events I have some money to burn on TFs, and it could happen! After all, someone has to balance Red Cog and I already have the necessary sprays. Plus six-gun is one of my favorite Siege guys.
I actually have a spare off-road in pieces ready for paint, but haven't settled on a good candidate. I've considered Brushguard and Ruckus...
If not for the wing holes there would be nothing unearthly about her altmode.. You could see if you like the mold better as Elita in her proper pink If you stick with the Spacewarp idea, why not base the limbs on the Mini-Cons that came original Spacewarp toy (that is, Timelines "Astrotrain")?Latebrus-K wrote:Similar to off-road, my PotP Elita is in pieces and awaiting paint. Orthia is not happening for me as I didn't order Lancer
I didn't care for the figure as elita, or, well, in general. I was thinking Spacewarp due to the bulkiness and unearthly altmode. The question then becomes: who are her limbs? Nightbird would be a shoe-in, but I already have one and she'd be awfully similar to the Siege one.
