Well, still got a few more detail bits to do on it, including 'cleaning up' the windows, but this is my version of Universe Classics Overdrive.

The head is actually the head from a Robot Heroes Prowl, with a few bits added on from old model kits (on top) and putty (the sides), and the mouth was mostly filled in and turned into a smirk with putty.

I forget where the right hand gun came from, but his double-barreled left hand gun was actually two Spychanger guns glued together, and gaps filled in.

Details will be added next time I break out my paints.

I'm liking this concept of Overdrive. Is that Krylon Fusion Flat Black you have there? Can't wait to see the finished product.

Actually, it's Testor's flat black.

Most of the paint is good ol' Testor's spray, except the 'chromed' bits were a cheapie can of half-sized spray from Wal-Mart that I thought was normal silver, but looks a lot more like chrome in person. However, the other 'silver' parts like the windshield and that are Citadel paints, and so are most of the other currently extant details.

I like the idea, and was considering attempting the same thing. Good job, great paint apps. I don't like the head though. I plan to modify the stock head when I do mine.

This mold fits the G1 figure much better than Hot Rod.
