well, here is my attempt at several different alternators:

Prowl (Using smokescreen)

I'm sorry for the sh**ty quality of pictures..

Upcoming projects: Trailbreaker from, ofcourse, Swindle.

Today I received two 'metals transform' figures, the Knockoff Binaltech's;
the yellow sideswipe, which I renamed tigertracks 0=)
And the white version, which I will be repainting into the Clampdown.

does bumblebee actualy transform

Im wondering if bumblebee might not look even better with smaller forarms and hands. I wonder if you wouldn't try Sideswipes on him, at least lay them next to him for a pic so we can see. I know the whole rest of the guy is from smokescreen, but it looks like somehow you shortened him, and I think shortening the arms too would help keep things in proportion.

I too thought it looked pretty out of shape with the arms, pictures will be taken tomorrow.

For the legs, they weren't shortened; as you might know, smokey's legs have two turnpoints, I simply put the 2nd turnpoint in an L-shape. I'll post pictures of this too tomorrow.

As for the transforming bit, alas, it does not. I did make it so it could transform, but didn't really work that bit out.

damn skippy thats good stuff.

Again I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures..

Now that I see the 'swipe arms next to it, it does look much better.
Maybe I'll just fix the underarm+hand to the upperarm of smokescreen, that way the hood-arm-connection will stay, and the arms will look less bulky

Arcee NEEDS some work, Sideswipes shoulders make her look REALLY buff. Just name her Strika if you leave the shoulders as is.

lol, you're so right ^^
good thing than Arcee is far from done =P
I haven't taken the time yet, to make her as sweet as her color looks..

[jimsloth]

those sideswipe hands do look better with that bumblebee. Arms still look about the same length for some reason, maybe its just the pic, but at least the hands make it look more in proportion.

[Primus_feather]

Yah New hands are a must on Arcee, Maybe sand the arms smooth/round too. Either that or find some new "shapley" arms. My opinion round off the arms and thighs, that should Fem up her a little.

Does her Chest go up any higher? cause if you can get her Taillights to be her "headlights" that would be cool then you could get her arms under the wheel wel, Making her MUCH more slender.

Here's another line up for the underarms of both smokes' and 'swipe, as seen there is a difference and I think I will replace them..



I also tried swapping the hands, but it still remained the strangely stretched 'bot..
