I had done this sometime last year before the classics came out. I had an Arcee that it wanted it to go with. I had sold her on ebay - otherwise i would have taken some pics of them together. I did however manage to get classics Hotrod and cybertron Mirage in one group shot. Anyways , I think its a decent mold and has a good height contrast with the classics Hotrod. It always seemed to me that he was a bit taller. I saw some botcon comic and it looks like they might go for a similiar idea for an exclusive - so that's one of the reasons i wanted to show off mine firstI have been trying to figure out what to use for chopper blades for his alt mode - something that can turn into swords. So far i'm thinking energon Doomlock blades, if I can find another Doomlock (depending on funds ) i'll see what I can do. Anyhow, here 's what I got - lemme know what u think.

I like that color scheme.

thats wicked! im really diggin that.

nice work... the head looks dead on.

Phew...I thought it was close to my idea...

 

Nope.

It looks pretty good in robot mode, and the car mode should look good as well. I am curious to see how you will be able to pull off a convincing helocopter mode though. That would be the only flaw in that choice of base model I can think of.

Thanks for the kind words , amigos!

 

as far as the car mode goes - yeah it is pretty decent looking as you can imagine with the mold.

 

the copter mode.. well. it was always funky and futuristic looking . once I get the blades , I think I can pull some Blot outta mi arse - and make it look so so .. I've tried and basically i get a vehicle mode that looks like the modified car mode..so I think with that , it might look ok. I'll keep you all posted on it

Nice, now kitbash a propeller to the car mode to make a helicopter!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding, please don't do that.

Looks great!

Wow. This works way better than I would have expected. The head is perfect for him.
