so, i have a classics rodimus mold, from the battle in space two pack. after a horribly failed attempt to make it more like the classics version, it is currently sitting on my desk doing nothing. so i have a proposal: what do you think i should paint it as? i may not be an "adept" customizer, but i have had a lot of experience with other figures. post a reply of your idea!

Well, there you could always go the Stunticon route with Wild Rider or Deadend. Or you could do a Nemesis version in black. If you wanted to stray off in a unique direction, I always kind of thought the mold would make a cool Cybertronian Prowl or Bluestreak too. G1 Detour, Hyperdrive, or Free Wheeler maybe?

How about some Go-Bots homages? Options could be:

Turbo
Spoiler
Crasher
Street Heat
Stallion
Sparky
Major Mo
Tail Pipe

Most are red sports/muscle cars that would require not a lot of re-painting. (None really have the wing in bot mode, but then neither does the Stunticons mentioned.)

It might be ambitious, but Crasher could be an interesting project...

Just some ideas.

Maybe one of the G1 fembots?

Here's a twist of irony for ya - paint as Hot Shot! Either the yellow variety, who homaged Bumblebee and Hot Rod in terms of character/color, or the blue version from TF Cybertron, whose robot mode harkened G1 Hot Rod.
