The head swapping continues!!!

I wanted to give Ravage and Rumble some competition (when/if they make it down under).

This one is pretty basic. I took a battle ravage head, painted it yellow (quite poorly too) then added a piece of clear yellow plastic from a dc figure for a mane, then stuck it on a yellow tracks. I like the rest of the colour scheme for that one so that's it.

Then I repainted the tracks head and stuck it on the battle ravage body. A few small paint apps and....

Them's pretty cool. Are you going to get hold of a blue Tracks to do Eject as well? And is there going to be a Blaster as well? Thinking about it, isn't the Scion mould used for Broadblast one of the smaller ones? That'd be a turnup...

I'd love to do an Eject as well... I just don't have a spare tracks and there's none around. I like Ejects colours better too.

As for Blaster, I have binaltech broadblast but for now I'm going to display them with G1 Blaster... better proportions.

since no one else has said it, I really like the hair on your steel jaw. Not something I was expecting, but very fitting.

I think the hair was a great idea. If someone is going to try Steeljaw out of the Jaguar/ Ravage, can you see if the hood cad be modded to make the mane? I haven't seen one to be sure if it can be done, and its hard to tell from online pics. I've been considering this since I've first seen the toy.

Rewind's right there, if you look. It's Eject who's missing, and as he said, he hasn't got hold of a spare blue Tracks.
I magine Ramhorn would be tricky, unless you sort of humanise him - I don't think the Ravage mould would fit for a rhino. Maybe you could use a Jeep and mod the head in the style of Marvel's Rhino? That might need some alterations to let it transform though.

I know where I can pick up a cheap Rollbar for making a Ramhorn (and I think I will). I humanised Steeljaw (as battle ravage was humanised) so I don't mind doing it for Ramhorn either. Can anyone think of a good size rhino head to save me having to sculpt one?

Battle ravage wasn't "humanized" battle ravage is the one from enrgon,you customed the energon alternator.the ravage alternator goes from beast mode to car mode.

Actually Battle Ravage was based on the Beast Wars version of Ravage, not Energon. And of course Beast Wars Ravage was a reformat of the G1.

well yes,the battle ravage is based on beast wars metals ravage,but the character's name indicates that some may also see it as the energon one.

nope just trademark problems at the time hence energon ravage ended up being battle ravage also
