In real life, I drive a 2005 Acura RSX Type-S...so I was pretty psyched when  found out they were making Prowl...my favorite chracter into a 2005 RSX Type-S.

 

Now of course, my car is not a cop car...so I had to make a custom Alternator RSX, and I named him VTEC after the type of engine used in most Honda vehicles.  (Yes I know my engine is an i-VTEC engine...but saying i-VTEC just doesn't have the same ring as VTEC.)

 

Here is the story:

The RSX body was originally Sideswipe's body...but after getting damaged in battle...Sideswipe gets rebuilt into the Viper...but with the help of G1 Red alert, and G1 Ratchet...and of course my other custom - Armada Red alert...Sideswipe's old body is repaired, and an artificial intelligence program similar to the one that Zoom-Zoom is built on is implanted in the RSX body. The AI develops a personality after being taken in by the Autobot Brothers - Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, and choses the name VTEC.

 

Here's the link to the topic on TFans:

Here's a pic of the actual custom...it wasn't fully complete at this point, but it shows his main weapon...a red light saber:

 

Here is a pic with Alt. Sideswipe:

 

Alternate Mode:

 

I can provide more and better pics if needed...because I have since added my license plate, and painted the joints on the legs (which are blue in the pic) black.

 

Now, what I was wondering...and I guess I could try drawing this myself...but I know, with the talent on this board...I'd get better results if I had some of you professionals draw him. 

 

I'd love some type of "boxart-ish" rendering/drawing of the character...just like the pics on the boxes of the Alternators...with my goal being to produce a badass box for VTEC to keep him in when not displayed...which would be very rarely.

 

So if anybody has time, and you're just bored, or need a fresh idea...maybe take this out for a spin.  If needed, I suppose I could dole out some money...and you guys can just PM me and maybe we could work a deal out...although...keep in mind...I'm poor because of the holidays...hahahaha

wow. they shouldve made sideswipe into the RSX instead of Prowl
