OK this is a character I made myself. His name is Tightspot and he´s an Autobot spy. I started off by making a WST Bumblebee into this character and liked him. So I made several other figures into him also



I´ll post their vehicle modes tomorrow


Thanks for looking

Why do they look like Glyph?? (o_O) (not so much Hot Shot, but the Bumblebee repaints definitely look like Glyph)



Your Classics Glyph looks nice though. smiletf.gif

I repainted my reissue Classic Goldbug as a Throttlebot upgrade of Glyph called Lexicon (get it?*). smiletf.gif





____________________

*Just as Bumblebee changed his name to Goldbug when he was upgraded as a Throttlebot, I decided that Glyph would do likewise - to Lexicon.

glyph
n. a symbolic figure carved or incised in relief
character. An image used in the visual representation of characters; roughly speaking, how a character looks. A font is a set of glyphs. In the simple case, for a given font (typeface and size), each character corresponds to a single glyph but this is not
always the case, especially in a language with a large alphabet where one character may correspond to several glyphs
or several characters to one glyph (a character encoding).

lex·i·con
n. pl. lex·i·cons or lex·i·ca (-k)
1. A dictionary.
2. A stock of terms used in a particular profession, subject, or style; a vocabulary: the lexicon of surrealist art.
3. Linguistics. The morphemes of a language considered as a group.

Lexicon is also the name of this well known Transformers fan-fic web site. Glyph/Lexicon is a female Transformer and The Lexicon is run by a female Transfan. smiletf.gif

Cool! is he your fan-fic character or something? I heard you need animated BB to finish this little entourage here. Now theres a green him, a red him, and a blue him! Did you do this by hand or spraypaint? its a very smooth finish.

nice toy but wrong area we have a special place for customs

I painted this totally by hand. I had ran out of spray and couldn't afford any at the time I painted him.

Oh and yeah you're right. He does look a lot like Glyph actually lol.
Prowlclone
OK finally have his vehicle mode pics up
enjoy!

Nice! but I think the CL-BB mold needs some kind of detailing otherwise the altmode looks a little bland.
A racing stripe or a Canada leaf or something ....
Prowlclone
I was thinking the same thing when I was taking the pics actually. I think I may put stripes going up the car in the same way that movie bumblebee has his. Any suggestions on colours for the stripes?

Silver or black would look nice...maybe even some awesome blue and white flame decals. Take a trip to the closest hobby shop and see what kind of "aftermarket" stuff they carry for model cars, RC cars, and Pine wood derby cars! You could also liven things up by detailing things like the side mirrors! I like that color blue alot, it seems to fit that mold nicely. I might have to do something unique for my collection.

Maple leaf thank you very much.

Great job, the blue is a nice fit.

Also like the name Tightspot. As an autobot spy he probably finds himself in plenty of em.

How about a Decepticon counterpart by the name of Tight Rope?

i like the color. but the name Tightspot had me thinking it was a female. giggity! ohyeah.png
Prowlclone
optimuslaugh2.gif Haha, the reason he's called Tightspot is because he can fit into small spaces. If you guys think you can come up with a more suiting/ less feme region/ better name Im all ears

I was thinking maybe black or yellow. possibly orange. just one along his right/left side, like TFA BB.

As for a less femine name, how bout these:
Quickslide
smallshift
hideaway
tracker (excuse me if this is a G1 taken name i didn't know then)

anyway just a few suggestions.
