I didn't miss it at all.
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?

Another possibility would be to just take a cheap accessory less original G1 and mod it in order to give him full posability. That's something I want to try one day.

I have a 100% complete one BTW. The arms are perfect already plus he have a waist swivel for transformation. Only thing to do would be to give him head rotation. Then, unfused the legs and give him proper hips articulations. Then you'll just have to improvise for the spoiler/shield accessory and the Targetmaster.

Not really. Well, there's PotP Punch-Counterpunch but he's too expensive. The issue is that Pointblank's shoulder design is not exactly a common choice.

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.

So the overpriced one is just Drift then? Make sense because "IDW" Drift don't have another official toy yet and Blurr have the "Geewun" Titan Return.

If you don't mind using a Gen Blurr as custom fodder, go for it! I'm pretty sure the mods will be very feasible.

BTW, I did use a junker Gen Drift to create an original character. I used his arms to put on a severely modded CW First Aid to make a "Mad Max" combiner limb.

If not for the fact Punch/Counterpunch is too rare/pricy to make a custom out of, he'd make a great Drift with a bonus 'Deadlock' mode.

Crazy idea fresh out of nowhere:
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

That would be pretty easy to do. Just drill the holes were they are needed.

Well, to push things further, we could always mod the joints like Mad and break the car shell further in order to have a proper armored raptor. That would be one hell of a task!

Looking at Siege's offerings, I've figured out alternate faction repaints for the weaponizers. Last one I'm a little unsure about.
:CON: Brunt - :BOT: Slammer/Centurion
:BOT: Sixgun - :CON: Vos/Forestock
:BOT: Cog - :CON: Fasttrack/Black Rotirichi? Not very accurate, mostly an excuse to paint the silver torso gold

As for Cog... Half-Track? Heavytread? Sentius Malus maybe? That last one's kinda a stretch, I realize.

:APPLAUSE: Demolishor could definitely work from Cog, although I'd have to mod the torso some. Also like the Sentius Malus idea... but then I'd be obligated to make his brother!

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...

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 :P
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.

EDIT: also considered the obvious dropkick from T30 springer but he'd be awfully similar to my both my springister and Botcon battletrap

Spacewarp sounds like a good idea. Alternatively, make her into a "full sized" Decepticon version of the Linkage Minicon Combusta, and make Falcia and Twirl as limbs. Perhaps throw in a Slipstream for limb number 3- not sure on the fourth...

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 :P 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")?
