Hey people,

Stopped at the walmart today, and the few Alts they have left are on clearance for $11. I'm certainly going to snatch up the Scions and Subarus, but if I can find an explanation as to how to do this leg mod (or any easy mods, for that matter), I'll pick up a viper or two as well. Thoughts? I have no current plans to use any Vipers, but they're now cheap enough that I'll figure out something

I think all my vipers have some minor mods, and most of those were other peoples ideas, so I won't list all of them so as not to upset anyone (you can find them in these forums though).

I like to shave down the cover over the upper leg so that they can lift their knees higher. combining this with the legs turned around like War Machine's Wheeljack will give you heaps better leg articulation.

weeps quietly $11 , wide choice of moulds the travails of being a uk trans fan

Battlechargers

Black and White vipers

Springer Green Sunstreaker

Sunstreaker mould as Kup or pickup

use rear of viper with top bodywork removed to mount plastic model pickup cab adapt bonnet some how as bed that way the transformation scheme will be similar to Kup

not sure how feasible that is but its been an idea in the back of my mind for a while

Sunstreaker as Pipes or Huffer if your not too hung up on them having truck alt modes if you transform the rear of the car so it mimics the cab section behind Huffer in G 1 mode plus if you cut the horns and plug the holes i think the head mould would look similar to Huffers cartoon incarnation

ai damn uk taxes make our alts $40 blah blah blah lol

hubcap would be cool out of streaker or how the mould was origional planned for tracks so that could work well

I'm really sorry, but when I saw the thread title, I heard it to the tune of "What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor", and now it's stuck in my head.

See how you like it, you git. :wink:

I like the Runabout/Runamok idea. I have an extra complete Sideswipe and another Sideswipe head aside from that. With a little modification and some putty, the heads could be reasonably accurate.

Anyway, I picked up a Sunstreaker today along with a couple of Scions and a Ricochet/Rollbar, all at $11. I pretty well know what I'm going to do with all of them, but now I just need to find the time! :shock:
