Yep so i decieded to use the leftover DE/SS repaint I had lying around and with a minor change to the transformation The body screamed swoop to me I originally wanted a Tomahawk 1/24 scale bike to make swoop out of but couldn't find one.
I slapped on a modded Windcharger head so it could fit on the smaller post on the Deadend body.

Im waiting on a pair of grimlock hands and Sword to complete the look and some minor touch ups, and Swoop will be ready to join Grimlock...
I even have a Alt Swoop story in the works

Well last night (because i couldn't wait) I did my first head repro out of the Swindle head. I made the Mold out of Super Sculpy cooked it(Minus the head) so it would harden I used some Vasaline as a loosener then i took this 7 minute plumbers appoxy and pushed as much as i could into the mold. The back of the head turned out great whill the front lacked some minor detail but that really doesn't matter cause the head is being painted black I cut off the excess flash/appoxy cleaned it up and added head fins to look like Slag's head. It's only a temp but it will do till i get another Rollbar head.

You know, now that I'm thinking about making me a replacment for the one I sold awhile ago and it just happens that I think Alt Mirage would make a good Alt Swoop.

Just imagine it!
