Nice! Does he have a face shield or something that you can flip over to cover the face that's not in use?

No but that's a good idea. Could mod the engine cover to do so next time.

 

I presume that the head is part of Incinerator's head, as I can't really imagine being able to use a whole Voyager-class figure head on a Deluxe-class figure, let alone so it still slides down into the chest. Not that I have Incinerator OR Sunstreaker yet...

It's missing the top nub and lower jaw where I made a new mouthplate for him. Other than that it is the same width and hight pretty much.

 

Awesome job as usual Jin. I just had this thought last night and you beat me to it. Thats ok though I have some other ideas for this mold. One question though how did you get the hands to pop out? I haven't tried yet so I was just wondering how hard it is to pop them out.

They slide out from one side but not easily. I just put the arm flat against the table and pushed down hard so the hand popped out. Then I dremelled the inside just a bit so they were easier to remove and switch, but still held in place.

 

Question Jin: Why did you choose to make the roof chest Punch?

 

I mean, if you had chosen hood chest, and gone with a subtle orange-to-blue-fade job where the seam was, wouldn't it have looked a lot less random?

It was my first try honestly. I thought, old G1 look=solid colors. Next time around I'll make the car all blue and use the hidden part of the chest for the yellow as 1987 described there.

 

Thanks for all the great replies and critiques!

:awsum job jin! as always :P Punch/Couterpunch is also a horrible name imo :lol And yeah the character could use some RE-characterization. But your toy is cool none the less

I'm thinking when I do mine I'll be giving him a Redalert style hood stripe. So Punch will still have a mostly yellow chest.
