i was wondering before i tried has anyone ever made the movie elita one/ energon arcee mold into a male bot?

check out Marvel/TF spidey.

But seriously - i dont see why it couldn't. But if you are going to try - I would suggest modding the movie deluxe instead of the basic. It seems more worth your while.

sorry but im a lil low in the cash and have only the basic mold and tools

The hardest part would be to replace the feet in such a way that the bot still transforms afterwards. Those heels would not work on a manbot.

yeah and my only equipment is a multitool screwdriver and file

You could just add some fins to the helmet and a forehead crest and wha la Nitro Convoy from Galaxy Force.

If you cant get rid of the heals then atleast use them to bring to life a new version of the token japanese metra-sexual transformer.

probably

ive mananged to lop off the heels but now im trying to see if armada thrusts feet would work and figuring what heads are in scale for a man bot
