Well, having seen a couple of Movie Voyager Ironhides made into a modern Trailbreaker, I felt inspired to undertake a conversion myself.

Having never done a custom before, let alone do any painting whatsoever, it was a really easy conversion and I think I did okay... I'll let you guys judge. :o

It's amazing what a couple of touches of Honda Milano Red paint can do. lol :D

I also disliked the standard blue plastics of his arm cannons, so I decided to fix them up and give them a worn, battle-ravaged look utilising matt black as a base coat followed by very light coats of silver metallic and then topped off with a final light coat of matt black again.

Anyway, I'm fairly happy with it, might add some red and yellow decal stripes on the doors to finish it off.

Btw, thanks to SMHFConvoy for the donor Ironhide. :)

Yeah it was a pretty easy conversion, so it didn't take very long.. only a couple of hours.

Hehe.... I used the original Ironhide head... those that have a Movie Ironhide will know what I mean. ;)

Looks the same as a regular Ironhide, except his exhaust mufflers/cannons are now a more realistic looking worn metal look as opposed to blue plastic.
