The Energon Pub

Hey everyone! I am new here, I would like to be friends with you and learn from you all. This is my first post so be kind:D. Ok back to the forums.
I am doing a Minor/Major costumisation to my ROTF deluxe class bumblebee and i decided to convert him into a deluxe Prowl. I have painted the car with acrilic colours and added all those police stickers. Now the problem is that i dont have a head, I dont wanna spoil my bumblebee head and i dont have a prowl head:sad:
I own....

Hello, Anyone there?

The new members just keep pouring in. Welcome to the boards, and enjoy your stay. And remember:

WARNING: Seibertron.com contains nuts!

As I don't have a clear answer, I'll just say this: keep within the Deluxe Class range with the heads. Bumblebee's head is on a so-called ball-and-socket joint, you'd have to find a head that's similar in size and joint type used.

You'll get better help in Transtopia, a section of the boards that deals with repaints, kitbashing, restoration and other types of customisation. It's on the bottom of the Board Index.

Lastly, this is a forum, not a chat room. Don't expect others to reply right away.

Welcome to Seibertron!

As for the question, Sideswipe might be a good match. Just my thoughts.

Heya.

Welcome.

You can use Greenstuff (from Games Workshop)or else reasonably thick card (Jigsaw puzzle grade,of which some like National Geographiic and Ravensburger are better quality) to convert the same Bumblebee head into a Movie version of Prowls' head. Focus on the Antennae G1 Prowl has on his forehead first, then consider if you will rework the eyes & cranium with Greenstuff.The mouth,if left as is but painted cleverly can talk 'ninja' and therefore throwback to Animated Prowl as tribute.Otherwise, you need big study and a dremel tool to remove the old mouth and then sculpt on a new one.Movie Jazz might be the best mouth to study, but his face is black and hard to investigate.

Option:Using Greenstuff, make a cast of the movie Jazz mouth.If you don't have one, see if you can borrow a friends' one for the job.Then, make a mold of the mouth using the cast and attatch it to the new Bumblebee becomes Prowl head.You can trim the cast as desired, and even make several to be sure you get the one you want.

Alternatively, shop around on Carbombya for a damaged classics Prowl/Bluestreak/Silverstreak/Smokescreen with head and then headswap..

I converted two TF1 Bumblebees into homegrown TFs (a green deployment disruptor named Gridlock [taxi cab] and a Protectobot Emergency blood transfer courier named Arrowbolt).With both, I simply painted the Prowl style antennae details directly onto the BB head.The result is acceptable because both are TFs who have never existed before, so there's nothing to compare them to.

Have fun here.Good luck with the job.

Thank you! I'll take your advice. I am glad that you welcomed me. Happy to be a ceibertroian!
