two attempts at a DOTM deluxe Mirage

[snaketales]

Soooooo long trying to make one... started with ROTF Sideways, got disenchanted, tried a prime Wheeljack, disenchanted again, back to Sideways....
I followed the design by pradhika indra on tfw2005. Finding a head is proving as problematic as making the body. I've tried adapting a Crankcase and a Jolt head but neither do it for me. I think a ROTF Swerve head will be best but need to find one.
And after taking these pics the Sideways mold fell off the cupboard and one of the door wings snapped!!!! This mold is cursed.....

Prime Weeljack version:


I don't like the head I used. I also think this body doesn't fit the movie aesthetic. Guess I'll turn it into a Prime custom.

ROTF Sideways version:



You can see here that I miscalculated where the boot panels would line up

Head gone!

One thing I didn't like about Sideways was his skinny chicken legs. I do like how this version bulks them out a bit.

Hopefully one day I'll be able to update this with a completed version but frankly I've had enough of it.

ROTF Sideways was always a nightmare to transform. Great work anyway!
