on one of the other transfan boards a conversation brought up that Swerve would actually be better as E-hobby Road Rage, I have always had a considerable distaste for Swerve but as "rare" as he is could never bring myself to just bash him into something else unless it was well warranted, just like Decepticharge into Dragstrip

SO.... I took an Override head an repainted it as it looks similar to Tracks just stylized a little differently

I am waiting for it to dry right now but as soon as it is you will see what I mean

Live from Robonia!

"and Swerve is no more....

Long live Roadrage!"

over the weekend I'm gonna go through my stock and see if I have anything I can use as a battlemask for her that looks like the g1 incarnation

Its amazing how something as little as a head swap can breathe new life into an old mold...looks good VP....I never thought Overides head would be "Alt" sized....always looked small to me in the packaging....

Hasbro! Are you paying attention?! Mold repaint/re-use = New Head!

that head is now in consideration for either Swerve made from the Jeep mold or Battle Ravage as Shrapnel

Currently leaning more towards Shrapnel to teamup with Kickback

I don?t know, the Jeep Swerve might be interesting, especially since it would be closer to the original G1 Swerve than a Corvette.

'Course an Alt Prime would be even closer...

I found my battle mask

the front of one of the ronin warriors, been so long and I watched them as Samurai troopers so have no idea of his name right now but he had silver hair purple armor and was all spiderlike in combat... his helmet will make her mask

I'm tempted to take Cy swindle and use that mold for the base of an ATV four wheeler type minibike Swerve to go with Wheelie, Outback and Beachcomber

go for it.....i was always somewhat sceptical about using alt scale bikes as their robot modes dont match up....but after seeing some cool bashes here i've gone and made Wheelie, Groove, two Junkion commandos and an Alternator of a fan character of mine who was originally a Utahraptor Dinbot named Screech, all from Lugnutzes (or whatever the plural is).
I think an Alt sized Quadbike would look pretty cool and who knows what it might inspire.

Oh, and I've already heard countless 'saved by the Bell' jokes concerning Screech so please feel free not to post them here. :D

Wouldn't dream of it. Actually, I automatically thought of Action Master Take-Off's partner...
