Still need a trailer for Cyb/TFTM Armorhide?

I just got a ride to the nearest Target, hoping to have the same incredible luck you did. Unfortunately, my Target had 7 flatbed Transports (Speed Haul, the new Nitro Doorslammer) and 1 "Haulin' Heat" (the new blue Jet Threat transport). So I bought the Haulin' Heat. I'm going to check it out when I get back home, but just the same, I'm going to eBay the Global/Track Surveillance/Mission Control, and see about getting a X-Raycer Rig in the hopes of have success "wheel swapping". It sounds like a gamble, but wish me luck all the same.

If I am lucky, expect to see me offer a Haulin' Heat Transporter in NMI(Opened)P condition.

Hard for me to believe you will at this point. You've put it off for so long, the line is so long-since-dead, I find it hard to believe you'll ever have the interest to pick it up and do it now.

Eh, it's a "rainy day" project more so for me, though. Typically, if it's not on my Alt list, it's not on the high priority for me, whatever it is. I have the trailer and the labels, so it'd just be a matter of doing the project. Personally, I think it'd be cool to see a renewed interest in this project anyways

I'd like to see some renewed interest in the Boombox project...

But, with Sculpt-bot 'in retirement', and no word on the project in over two years, I'm close to calling this one...

(I'm still crossing my fingers though... And do you blame me? Between Redline's Digibashes and Sculpt-Bot's custom head, this thing was/is/will be a work of art!)

contact SB, he maybe might have a head or two still. The problem was the decals. The guy working on designing them nearly finished, but hasn't done the last part, and he's become a really busy guy with little to no free time.

Thanks for the information Redline!

Just writing to inform you that 2 of the Racing Rigs I eBayed came in mail today.

Coming in today is the all-silver version of the Global Surveillance Truckin' Transporter. In having a gray/silver trailer, it means I don't have to paint it. Unfortunately, unlike the all-blue Mission Control Racing Rig, there's no cool interior decal. (Of course, if there was, I'd likely have to sacrifice it.) I like the Invader vehicle (that came with the blue one) so much, I may try to find one to match Movie Armorhide/Goliath's silver trailer. Either that or figure out what Legends/Spychanger/G2 Go-Bot Decepticar I can pair him with. (So far, only ROTF Leg. Sideways and a Nightracer custom I haven't painted/reassembled come to mind.)

The second piece to come in (and I was really counting on it) is the X-Raycers Racing Rig. Although there's a cool push-button launching feature to deploy the (crappy) car inside (Similar to Metroplex, with Scamper in the main garage), The principal feature to this truck is the same one for other "X-Raycers" vehicles: its use translucent plastic on otherwise conventional vehicle bodies. The reason I wanted this piece so bad is to see if I could mine the armored wheels off of this truck. That's where the bad news comes in. Only the cab's front and single trailer wheel are narrow enough to fit the wheel base of the Mission Control/Global Transport's trailer. Though both wheels (on X-Raycers) can easily be removed, the wheels of the main trailer are sealed in place AFTER unscrewing the panel underneath them. I don't have the skill (or power tools/dremel) to remove the plastic holding them in place and then re-seal the opening after plopping the new wheels in. (Plus, I think one of the new wheels would have clipping/rubbing issues once installed.)
So until I'm lucky enough to get some help (or tips on how) to complete the swap, the default wheels will have to do.

For more good news, I'm working with Delta to produce a Decepticon variant of the Cyb. Armorhide Reprolabels. So long as I didn't over-complicate things (again; in this case I wanted to add an extra chrome horizontal stripe and use Cyclonus's black shoulder decal as an interior detail), something wonderful will turn out as a result.
Wish me luck, y'all.

Cybertronian, I wish you well

Also, post a wip thread with some photos! At least post some photos of your ebay score!

I forgot to ask one thing: Redline, Methusalen, how did y'all do the trailer stand/legs?
