This was made from a classics Jazz custom which was made from a classics Silverstreak - repurposing at work!
I trimmed the horns off the helmet I put on for Jazz but left the visor (a piece of toothpaste tube) on. I also removed the spoiler to give him a point of difference.
Fiddled with the positions of the doors in bot mode for another bit of difference. The gun is from Sunstreaker (or Sideswipe) (or Red Alert) :confused: :o
The symbol on his chest/bonnet is from reprolabels.
I realised while doing this that if you take the doors off in bot mode this mold could also be used to make action masters Jackpot or Kick-Off... hmmm....
BTW this was the first time I have experienced the mold's original paint coming off the doors from repeated handling. Something to watch out for.

Wow, that looks great.
Doesn't look like the Universe Prowl mould at all.

Agreed! That does look great!!
(:
And it doesn't look like the prowl mold too as gp said!!
Removing the spoiler was a great move! *noted!* (:

Looks great! i had a look at the omnibots profile and RTS Tracks might make a good Downshift

great work making the alt mode look completely unlike Prowl/bluestreak.

Overdrive was always my favourite of the Omnibots, and that looks pretty bloody sweet. If you ever decide to part with him..... :)

That looks really great. Maybe you can attach the shoulder missiles to the vehicle mode to maintain the gimmick ;)

Awesome job!! Like previously said looks nothing like it's original mould; I thought you'd used RTS Windacharger as a base.
Nice work.
