Nice. Never thought of Chase, for some reason... although I've already started on Goldbug. :twisted:

Actually, I think this mould would work even better as Searchlight...

run a muck and runabout i was also thinking search light yes i thought of that as well i thought of not doing a digi bash of gold bug as that would be a common idea now really and wanted a new fresh idea

I've been looking at my Classics Rodimus and noticed how much the curvature of the windows are similar to the lancia stratos. I wonder how difficult it would be to add to the fenders and repaint to be a classics Wheeljack. I think I'll give it a try.

How many others can be made?

The problem with that is that Wheeljace has the front end as his feet and his roof for his chest. HotRod has his roof for his back and his front end for his chest. Regardlsee of his similar their vehicle modes “might” be, their robot modes and transformationsa are radically different.

Actually, I thought Hot Rod make make a good basis for an Arcee. He's already got those wide birthing hips, and a tapered waist. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to to keep the shoulders retracted. If I were to do it, I'd probably make new fenders and doors that would become the boxes on her back, and giver her more slender arms, that could be hidden inside the fender/doors in vehicle mode.

Runabout and Runamuck could definately do with some modifications to this mold, like a lengthening of the vehicle mode. what do they call those regular sized cars? sedans? and C.Bee is more of a compact or something.

Sedans are larger, 4-door cars. Runabout and Runamuck were 2-door sports cars.

I know, but I'm not that concerned with limiting myself to g1 esque ideas. I like the lancia body style and even though the robot form would'nt be the same, it would still be enough of an homage for me. Besides the classics line is more like an improvement to the original not a rehash.

Key word there is "improvement" except for Megatron and Grimlock, the actual transformations an looks of the various characters are very similar to their original G1 counterparts with relatively minor variations. They aren't radical departures. That was the point I was getting at.

Looking good so far. However, you might have been better off using a Cliffjumper instead of Bumblebee for Chase, since Cliffjumper is already red.

true comment but due to the fact in the uk we dont have him over here why wait for it when i could use the bumble bee in the meantime.

So for me it was a case of wait or work with what i can get and thats what i found in the stores over here overwise if i could i would :)

Damn us for not having wave 2 yet

As brilliant a bash as that is, I still think the vehicle mode is too dumpy for a Battlecharger...

It's Hooligan, from G2. Oddly enough, I'd considered doing that mod myself.

Great minds, I s'pose... :wink:
