    Forgive the awful pun.

    Does anybody know if anyone's done an Autorooper-styled head that might fit on CW Rook? Or possibly even CW Alpha Bravo?

    Or even anything generic "unnamed drone" in style?

    My plan for Sky Reign was a pair of Rooks and a pair of Alpha Bravos, but I'd like them to have fairly generic heads; I envision the four limb bots as being sparkless drones.

    Head's up...
    The puns are strong in this one.

    You could always modify Rook's head. Shouldn't be difficult to add a small strip of styrene around his mouth guard to create the closed-helmet look.

    problem with that is it'd still be Rook's head, he'd just be wearing shades. Which isn't enough for me. I want all four drones to have the same head (or at least similar ones), so they could be a uniform team.

    Does First Aid's head fit onto Rook and AB's ball joints? If so, you could just modify it so that the heads aren't very First Aid-ish and that could make nice heads for a set of drone limbs.

    I was meaning from the nose guard to the chin strap. Make it kind if a mouth plate like Soundwave. Also, if you cut off the side posts it would make the head look a lot different.

    Just some ides. I really like the Rook mold a lot, so I get kind of excited seeing new takes on it.

    Ahhh you meant a mouthplate, not a visor. That definitely works a lot better, lol.

    Well, First Aid won't fit on both; Rook has a much smaller neck ball than Alpha Bravo does.

    But I think getting some heads on shapeways will be cheaper than buying up four spare First Aids just for the heads...
