They already have the Dodge Licensing, so why not put out a Wreck-Gar Dodge Tomahawk?

Well, for the most part, they have tried to stay true to the original heads of most of the characters. So I guess it would have something to that effect fo goatee and mustache.

I would hope so. I always thought TFs with facial hair were cool...

He better have a voice chip. And has to say that "end of the line my valentine" line from the movie.

Well, it looks like a piece of junk so the junktion connection is easily made. Fugly bike.

Must be a Harley or Rice Rocket purist I'm guessing. Let's put it this way, it's about the only bike that looks like it would have limbs that wouldn't resemble flimsy sticks. Plus, it has an other-worldly look since the Junkticons were from some unknown Planet of Junk, it fits.

I don't know, it actually looks more like one of the Technobots. I don't think it would be a good Wreck Gar, because it just looks too clean.
jaxom
YES. DEFINITELY A TECHNOBOT...

iTS AFTERBURNER! W00T

I think that's a great idea but I can't tell which way is the front.

I don't think fugly is the right word for that.

Got anything stronger?
DarkNarcoleptic
Afterburner, yes. Wreck-Gar, no. He doesn't bathe enough to deserve that body.

Psssst! SZ! The front is between the two wheels!

Neh, I had the same question the first time I saw it, like 2 years ago or sumthin'.

No, really, which way is the front? I can't tell.

On topic: As much as I'd like to have a Wreck-gar Alternator, that looks better as Afterburner now that I know what Afterburner looks like.

Best I can tell, the front is facing to the right side of the pic, and the rear is on the left. The handlebars seem to indicate that, anyway, and I think those are footrests near what I'm calling the back wheel down there... And the wheel on the left looks bigger, which makes sense for a rear wheel on a bike with that much power. Isn't this the bike they didn't release because it had so much power, they couldn't even get anybody to test drive the prototype?
DarkNarcoleptic
Yes. A few Tomahawks were sold, but without any belts. I mean, come on- it has a Viper enigne. The right side is the front, and it turns on four pivoting tires. Has LED headlights too! bumblebeetounge.gif

You're pointing both the front and the rear to the right, sparky.

The front is the side with the handlebars closer to it. The rear is the side with the seat closer to it.

The prob with bike Alternators is twofold - first, at the same scale as the cars, they'd be tiny. But the Tomahawk is gigantic, so it kinda solves that - it'd only be wee in comparison to the other Alts, instead of super-wee. Second, there's just less volume for the surface area available in which to hide parts. This is why you see so many crotchrocket TFs - all that extra plastic gives you somewhere to put limbs. The Tomahawk here only has that central block to hide everything in, unless you do something clever like stow parts between the wheels, and when all's said and done you've got a wee little Wreck Gar robot mode to boot.

Besides, it IS ugly. *decidedly not a Harley or sportbike purist* However, with all that brushed steel, it would look Wreck-Gar-ish if you left it out in the rain for a few years... optimuslaugh2.gif

Fixed my post. I'm an idiot, thanks for pointing that out. optimuslaugh2.gif
