Still a work in progress, but I have the alt mode complete.
I'm using a Blurr body with some reprolabel G1 Nightbeat stickers.
By a lucky chance the blue paint I got was an exact match for Blurr's blue, so painting was a cinch (so far, anyway).
Robot mode transformation is going to be a bit different.....

Just had time to take this quick snap this morning with the old camera. Better pics will come this weekend after work and Dead Space 2. :o

I've added a few G1 Nightbeat stickers to the bot mode.

Now the technical bit. As you can probably see it's just Blurr turned backwards. I swapped his hands and dremelled out his elbow joints so his arms can bend forward.

I also swapped his thighs and dremelled off what were Blurr's feet.

The head is from as G1 Topspin. I couldn't find anything for use as a Headmaster. I am thnking of making him a Targetmaster with a spare Nightstick... after all, his Headmaster's name is Muzzle which is fitting for a gun.

That's really good. I like the use of the Drift mold for this character.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Nice work, a great idea for a great mold and very well executed.

I sure hope that sacrificed Top Spin was a junker (or KO) ;) I guess this must be IDWverse Nightbeat who was never a Headmaster. :p

Pffft no one likes the Topspin or Twintwist toys. Coulda sworn I bought one of Griffin once for a handfull or dollars.
