Not bad, too bad you couldn?t figure out a way to make the head permanently attached, or add more articulation.

He's missing something color wise...I have seen a tank painted red before with black, Grey and White camo paint...It might be perfect for him.

As for making the head perm...The Hardhead mold suffers from "Floppy Parts Syndrome" :lol: A common illness for old Transformers :P and even more so for K.O.'s

If he were to cut off the area of the cockpit that held it to the headmaster port he would have "Floppy Ass Syndrome" as well :lol:

i agree with john d.sideswiep needs a tad more color to offset the obsene amount of red the character calls for.but great job otherwise.

It does show promise, though he does need more colour to off-set the red.
Nice job. ^.~
By the by, if I may enquire, where did you obtain this knock-off?
I'm awfully tempted to seek one for my next kb project. :P

Looks good! I can't tell if it's the flash or not but you might want to use some tape to mask off where you are painting so as not to go over onto the main parts!

I live in Mexico, and because of the bad distribution of Hasbro in Mexico, the TF emptiness is filled with Knock Offs, so i found this RM's and Hardhead set called Transfo Robot, and it cost me 120 pesos (12 dollars), but their quality is good, no loose parts in the figures.

For give you an idea of the bad distribution of Hasbro in Mexico, we only recieved three Alternators: Sideswipe, Hound & Silverstreak.
