    Default Custom needs a name

    Just finished a build tonight - I know! It's been a while

    Anyway I cut the wings off of a foc air raid and hot glued on some construct bots wheels; making the alt mode a dragster but instead of wheels at the front I a blade/ plough/ bayonet and glued it to the gun.

    I'm after a name preferably a decepticon name. Pics tomorrow because I'm super tired right now

    I've always considered the Shockwave mold to be more of a sled than a rocket.
    Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.

    When I first saw the alt mode I thought of the transtech version.

    Any thoughts about this character's personality, powers or abilities?

    Well I thought having a giant blade at the front of your alt mode would require some sort of frictionless force shield so you don't rip up the road unintentionally (or they could be just a vandal and enjoy defacing everything.)

    Being a dragster the bot can only travel in a straight line in vehicle mode, to attempt to turn our change course requires transforming, turning and transforming again. This could extend into personality with the 'con being particularly stubborn.

    His weapon and engine being the same thing it would be loud, I imagine it would rev up to fire a charged shot so the 'con is also suffering from industrial deafness.

    In those current colours it reminds me of (Cyb) Ransack.

    If you want an original name. Burnout has just been taken at BotCon. Dispatch? Nitro? Piston? Duskcharger?
