Omnibots completed: custom classics Camshaft

Inspired by a smiliar design shown on tfw2005 by Crown (search there under "omnibots and stunticon").
It was made from a DOTM Jolt. I figured his original colour was good enough (if there's a corner to cut I'll take it).
The hardest part was finding shoulders that could fit on Jolt's shoulder posts. In the end I used RTS Perceptor's shoulders and RTS Wheeljack's forearms. They're a tad too big - in car mode the panels won't go flush - but I can live with that.
I used a deluxe classics Prime head. That was also a tad too big for the space for the original Jolt head, so I had to trim the neck collar.
His missile is a spare from a classics Prowl/Silverstreak/Smokescreen (one of them). It just sits in place in robot mode.

I've always loved the omnibots so it's nice to see someone else hasn't forgotten about them :D

Its also good to see Jolt getting put to some constructive use.

Nice work snaketales!

Nice :-)

Good job! I especially like Downshift (who happens to be my favourite Omnibot... heh) :D

Nice work.

Oh god! - He gots da crazy legs! :eek::D
Don't know if I'm terribly sold on the legs dude, but the rest looks pretty darn cool, maybe the chest could use a little something too as it looks somewhat bare. :o

Nice work. Downshift looks really good too.

Nice work Snaketales, you never fail to impress:cool:

Very creative as always Snakey! Quite impressive!!

Yeah the legs are a bit funky but I think they're the best of the movie bunch. I think the car hood as the feet fits in with the G1 aesthetic.
And I am thinking of getting some Omnibot stickers from Reprolabels for the finishing touch.
