WIP...no idea where I'm going with this...

Hey all,

The other night I whipped up a cool looking head swap. I'm painting and starting to detail now, and obviously I still have some work to do, but I can't figure out exactly what it is I've come up with...It's very evil looking, so I guess it will be a Decepticon...is it male of female? Will he/she have a name? I dunno...I snapped a quick pic for the forums here in hopes that someone out there might be able to shed a little creative light on this 'bot for me.

Just looking for feedback and ideas...Thanks!

Is that a front view? Those wheels look like huge boobs to me. Maybe a Fight Club crossover? Robert Paulson = Robot Paultron?

You've never seen movie Arcee before?
Is that the front view? What are you...slow?

I should have been more specific and stated I was looking for USEFUL feedback and ideas.

Yes...movie Sideways...that IS a good idea.

Hrrrm, definitely a female movie bot, given Arcee's design.
Are you going to leave the alt mode as an earth bike or change it?
The face reminds me of a slightly Transtech-y Black Arachnia, if you gave her some gold.

Otherwise I would suggest a new character, or possibly a female G1 Deception, though I don't know much about the latter G1 seasons.
Looks good though, can't wait to see it later.

1) Oh please forgive me for not recognising one of hundreds of thousands of figures, particularly one I ignored when it was released.
2) Where is your sense of humour?
3) This is a friendly community who don't take kindly to rude behaviour. How about I just report you for being insulting?

How about you let it rest and allow the thread to carry on with it's purpose, feedback. If you've got a problem with someone's comment that isn't topical to the thread then PM them.

Yeah I was thinking of leaving it an earth bike...as far as new carachters go, I noticed in the database a pic of this bike with a G.I. Joe figure...possibly some sort of espionage/ninja team up here...thanks for the helpful insight!

it looks pretty cool. But with it already looking somewhat fem...stick with a female theme. And as for a name. Imo since most bikes are on the street....use street in the name. I.E. Dark Street,Mean Street,Side Street. Thats my opinion lol.
