Truth be told, I went aboot checking out various images of the Land Rovers over the years and I musta missed the year that looked like his G1 design. Here's a pic of the 78 model that seemed closest...

...but to me, it resembled Brawns alt form less than a Jeep. The key points for my decision were ultimately the grill having verticle slots and that the Defender has the offset roof with extra windows that the toy nor toon have.

 

....but all is not lost, I just repaired a 04 Land Rover this week and have a bunch of Forest Green metallic paint left over. WOOT!

I'd guess Brawn resembles a real life Land Rover as much as Bumblebee a real life bug or Cliffjumper a real life porsche.

It needs to be kept in mind that the original incarnations of those toys in Japan were supposed to be disguised as toy cars of real cars (like Hot Wheels) so some details are lacking or exaggerated.

I love JEEPS!!...man, I can not wait to see this one done Wikkid!!

Well, it's mostly done at this point. I've got alot of touchups to do and a bunch of chrome to add. But anywho, here's the tranformation.

 

 

Rotate spare tire. Flip doors up gullwing style. Pull out rear hatch and rotate upwards. Flip open rear undercarriage causeing the entire front suspension to move with it. (This was a SOB to come up with but it actually worked)

 

 

Roll the legs out. Pop the feet out. Push rear hatch up/forward.

 

 

Flip open rocker panels. Swing arms out.

 

 

Topper panels down. Arms rotate up using Alt Jazz mechanism. Skid plate pulled straight out.

 

 

Rotate hatch back down. Turn spare tire to original postion. The suspension crap just sorta balls up over itself using a combination of Alt Sideswipe rocker to door hinges coupled with Alt Hound/Rollbar rocker panel hinge thingies.

 

 

Drop chest down and he's ready to kick some ass.

 

 

Here's a better view of his underwear.

 

 

For size comparison.

 

 

...and here's his teh ass.

 

 

This project actually got majorly FUBAR'D when the entire roof was melted by sitting in a puddle of reducer. I was able to salvage the roof after some reinforcing and sanding. The colours used are from a 2004 Land Rover. AA Yellow and Apollo green.

Holy Crap, that's awesome!!! :eek :thumb :yay :boogie :usa

Sweet jebus...thats HAWT

It ... it's like it were made by DJ Jesus himself using his foodagami! WOW! Why aren't you in Rhode Island working at Hasbro or creating your own line?? ^_^

All of this love shown for Brawn makes me wish I had already started on my own custom Alt. Brawn head. :blaugh
