Before anyone mentions that there aren't six modes here, I don't really care. Remember: Grimlock used to be a dinosaur, Shockwave used to be a laser gun, and Deadend was ment to be Sunstreaker, so why should Sixshot still be the same?

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the end product here, and he is probably my best custom to date. He is hand painted with a Prime head & custom coloured reprolabels.

You should. You did ask for criticisms.

Because those characters were made by companies who wanted to make money and didn't care one little bit about the characters.

Alt/BT upgrades are suppose to make them more stronger? Frankly I think becoming cars would have made Grimlock and Shockwave weaker.

As with Sixshot. Six modes down to two? One question. Got a story to explain that one? :wink:

All that aside. Despite my hatred of non-car canon characters being turned into Alts, I think this is a great job you've done here. You've really done a great job of capturing the colours and the character of Sixshot. ;)^

I was toying with a story about him getting defeated and needed to be transfered into a substitute body until his old frame was capable of sustaining him again, and they though transferring his spark into the strongest binaltech frame was logical & now Sixshot is really pissed off and looking for vengance for losing his six-changer abilities. Didn't flesh it out or put much thought into it but its a start

Nice work on the paint and graphics. I wouldn't worry too much about the name and lack of alt modes. In this alternate universe Sixshot resides in, his namesake can be associated with the a gun. Revolvers usually consist of sixchambers and are called sixshots. Give him a huge six shot hand gun or that big ole sixshot grenade luancher like this one...

Bravo. That is awesome. Especially the head. Sixshot is my fav guy in Headmasters and this does him justice. Well, except for the fact he's missing 4 of his modes. :P
