Upgrades

I am putting the finishing touches on my Alternator Prowl, based on the Meister/Shockblast mold...and I need help. I need labels...and I was wondering if some kind soul out there would be willing to make me a few labels for my custom...of course for a price... I would need a large white "POLICE" sticker/decal for each door, as well as a smaller black "HIGHWAY PATROL" to fit above the "POLICE" on the door. I would also need another "HIGHWAY PATROL" in black to fit on the spoiler from Shockblast... and another white sticker that says "POLICE" for the front bumper... Can anybody make these for me...I am also going to check if the local import performance …

Here's the deal... I had an extra Dead End without a head that I had used the head from for my Alt Sunstreaker (Head swap with yellow BT Tracks)... I was wondering what to do with it, when I thought I'd cut out the part that allows the trunk-chest mod to work on Sideswipe. It looked fairly pointless when turned around like you do with Swipes, but then I turned the torso back around the way it goes in the "official" transformation, then used some of that "excessive force" they warn against in the instructions... that got me thinking, so I snapped a few pics and headed over to Photoshop... about a half hour later, voila! Alternator Ratchet! :tflaugh Notice the heavy ho…

tell me your best techniques

Here is my first attempt at an Alternator custom

Hi Gang, The other day I spotted a post from rodimus VTS who is beginning to work on a tracks kitbash into arcee. It’s been a while since I’ve done any work on my s2000 version due to other projects so I decided to try and resolve the issues I had with her. The main issues were: 1. transformation – between the head and the chest I couldn’t transform the rear of the s2000. 2. Width – the chest was too wide to look feminine and so ruined the effect. 3. Arms – the arms were again too bulky to be feminine and couldn’t be easily reduced in size. So I sat down and thought out possible solutions to the dilemma in order to make the figure work as a fembo…

I am one of those who did not care for shockwave becoming a car. So I folded the classic door wing style up behind him under the roof of the car to give him less of a car look. I used a hinge from the mini-con that comes with armada starscream, only it was the yellow black version, and glued it to a ball joint in the door. I found that those cheap kid pearl necklaces that my daughter keeps breaking have the perfect balls to use for these joints and they already have the holes in them to insert pins. Here are some pics before I paint the joints so you can see it better.

Hey all, here's an in-progress pic of the head for my custom Alternator Skids. It's pretty obviously based off the head for Alternator Smokescreen, which I have modified by using a small X-Acto saw blade to trim off the horns and chinpiece. I have also painted the crest silver. There's some work left to be done, mainly paint touch-ups, but so far I'm pretty happy with this. I may do some further mods to the sides of the helmet, but I haven't decided yet. Let me know what you think!

Hi Guys, Just thought I would post some pics of my Skids custom. I started him a while ago but when I encountered some issues I put him away in a draw for a while. @ weeks ago I started looking at him again and now he nears completion. He is basically a heavily reworked alternators Smokescreen with a die cast Ford Focus SVT body mounted to it. All he needs doing now is a bit of painting, the doors attaching meister style and a handle attached to the roof so it can act as a shield. Will post bigger and better pictures when he is complete but just a couple of teasers from my phone camera in the meantime. Let me know what you think

Coming along as I planned...
