    this one


    0pAltArcee.jpg - Arcee (TFM) - TFW2005.COM
    I tried sending the guy who made it a pm but have not gotten an answer. It has to be the best alternators head for an arcee I have seen.


    Also anyone have a pic of a myclone arcee head on a alternator body?


    Thanks

    IIRC, that was done by TFmaster, and was probably a scratchbuilt head. Sadly, he died a couple of years back.

    That should be a direct copy or modified version of the ARC figure I made for Hal. He was good friends with TFmaster back then and I do remember some mentioning that TFmaster got some stuff from Hal.

    I've sent Hal all the original parts and there are no copies for this figure with me anymore though.

    While TFmaster did create the custom itself, I can also verify this quote that the Arcee used is from the A.R.C. kit by Hal (of A Rabid Squirrel Productions). I made the faction symbol for the A.R.C. and he sent me a kit for my efforts [it was a design contest]. I hope that helps! :)

    Yes thank you! now if only there were more ARCs to be had. I wanted one back when they were being sold but then I didn't have the cash. Now I have the cash but no more ArcS :( 

    That explains what was bugging me about the head though. I KNEW I had seen it before, but it has been awhile since I looked at the ARC figure so couldn't place it.

    I loved that figure If you desined it holy crap man! Your talents are wasted in whatever job you are currently doing if you are not desining transformers for a living! I see the crap hasbrto can come out with then I see things like this nad the Fansproject kits, and the HOS optimus and it makes me sad.

    Someone needs to make a modern soundwave that looks like a micro casset recorder since hasbro wont do it.

    Thanks again.

    now if anyone can hook me up with an ARc or at least a head....
