Hell yeah !!! But please make a replacement for that ugly head with something more cartoon accurate. Then do a clip on G1 chestplate and new head for Dead End...

Note: This is not a 3rd party product, but a Project that G.I.EDDIE from TFW2005 is working on as a custom for his Downforce to look more G1ish.

That's because folks on weibo just posted pictures without reading or acknowledging who's it from.

To each their own, and if this (or something similar) did hypothetically get mass produced, then hopefully those who buy it will enjoy it. But I don't think it would be for me. Looks like it would turn Down Force into something of a partsformer.

The new front end looks good on the vehicle, and on the arm mode. But where does it go in robot mode? Does it just get removed and tossed aside?

Currently it's a parts former due to the bumper/front scoop. He's currently exprepimenting on it to have it split, that will then fix the parts forming portion.

What makes this front end any worse than the front end of Hasbro classics Mirage ? Mirages front end turns into one of the stupidest looking guns in the entire classics line. There was even some cheating on G1 figures such as G1 Blurr's hood which became a shield in robot mode. It it can be adapted into the transformation, even better. But it still looks awesome enough to buy as an add on part. I wish he would make a clip on chest to make Dead End (Last Chance) look more G1 in robot mode. Even if it is just like the Maiden Japan Junkion chests and cant transform with the figure, I would gladly buy it.
