    Talk about coincidence (or maybe brilliant minds do think alike ;)  ), I'm currently doing a similar custom for an original character using BH Arcee and a similar alternate transformation.

    Either way, it's a really nice concept, and I look forward to seeing it in its full painted glory. Awesome job!

    Thanks for the encouraging words, everyone. And I've decided to stick with the revised alt-mode.

    I by far like the first alt mode better because the second looks like it is trying to use the wings to connect into more of a boat-y shape, but it being a 4 turbine flier/spaceship/sub outright looks more cybertron-like, more versitile, and much cooler too IMO. Never hurts to keep both options for different travel forms but I like 1 best and the whole idea is great.

    But see, form follows function and boats look the way they do for a reason. You can also see similar results in evolution called convergent evolution. That's when two seperate species evolve in similar ways because it's simply the best way to deal with something; like sharks and dolfins looking rather similar despite not sharing a common ancesstor of relevance.

    So if Nautica turns into a watercraft it would make sense for that craft to resemble a boat. This is the same reason I don't have a problem with the Cybertronian modes in the gams looking so similar to Earth cars. The design works so why not use it.

    All that said, versatility is quite good too. :)

    So, my dremel broke down. Meaning work on it, as updates on it, will be sparse for a while, at least until I get a replacement.

    It's such a clever idea to do a Nautica... Take note, Hasblow...


    I never thinked that an Animated prowl
    legs could work for a Fembot... you changed
    my mind... Nice Job :thumbs2: 

    And now... All she needs is paint...
    but, aside that, she looks :bay
