Snaketales' Stunticons

Dead End was made from a ROTF Swerve with a modified classics Grimlock head, with a Reprolabels upgrade set.

This was a custom of necessity after Swerve's head flew off during transformation, never to be seen again....

Some of you may have seen the digibash of this custom earlier.

As you can see I've been fiddling around with his robot mode. I don't like the traditional method of having what I consider a huge backpack. I quite like the first image, with the doors spread out like wings, but it takes up way too much space. I think I will go with the second image, with the doors flat against his back.

And don't mind Lightning McQueen

Very nicely done. I too like the first display, but with how much room that will take up, I don't blame ya for going with the second one. Looks really nice though.

Ahhh the perils of not colour-mapping before starting work...

His arms have about three coats of paint on them. It took me that long to find a combination I liked.

The inside of his legs have been painted so as to provide alternate configurations. I must remember to take pics....

Also his back has been painted, so the roof of the car can be popped off and the robot mode will still look serviceable.

I was going to put a rub symbol on but Reprolabels forgot to send them.... so just imagine there's one in the white square on the dashboard beneath his head.

I was this close to trying to use a Sunstreaker as the base, but luckily Red Alert became mass-available. Scraping the red off him was easier than trying to paint over Sunstreaker. I still used Sunstreaker's head with the wing ear things removed (that's right.... if you look at Breakdown from the side you can see through his ears! )

Alternate robot configurations and car mode will be added to this post later.

Those are good - I particularly like the Dead End homage.

Breakdown variations

alternate leg configuration
Attachment 2942
alternate chest configuration
Attachment 2943
alternate everything!
Attachment 2944
I don't really like any of these - the alternate leg configuration makes his legs look spindly, and the alternate chest config isn't colourful enough (and where will I put the roof piece?)... but at least they're there if I change my mind.

I'm Diggin' Dead End dude!
Brakedown doesn't look all that bad either.

I really like that Dead End.

Who are you using for Wildrider and Motormaster?

Looking forward to the rest

[snaketales]

Wildrider has me stuck at the moment. I've seen a lot of people use the Rodimus mold but I don't have any spares lying around nor do I want to spend the amount of cash that seems to be needed. I am thinking of using the movie Dead End or Sideways.. but I'd want to replace the head. And I'm not a fan of the robot mold (chicken legs, anyone?)

As for Motormaster, at the moment I'm going to use Nemesis Prime. His alt mode is good but I'd want to replace the head. I have seen some interesting things done with the Inferno mold, so to break away from the Prime truck look I may investigate that. Anyone got a spare classics Inferno?

No prizes for guessing what I'm going to use for Drag Strip.

Grimlock?

Can't wait to see what you can do with the rest of them, going to try to get them to form Menasor?

i recently bought a henkei inferno to replace the classics one so i guess its a spare now.
