    Hey Fellow Board Members! I know I haven't finished my last what 7 projects but I wanted to show you this one. Generations Rodimus. I started this last August and now I have come back to him. First off credit goes to DavAnthony for his which gave me the idea. Thanks Dave! Now he is made of Gen. Springer, Gen. Sandstorm Head, Titanium Rodimus Chest, PRID Bumblebee hand blasters, and G1 Rodimus spoiler and trailer. All the construction is complete, minus the chest section, but before painting I need to know. Which spoiler looks better? Rodimus or Hot Rods? Let me know which one you guys think looks better and I will go from there. Vehicle pics coming soon. C & C's welcomed!


    <<<Looonnngggg overdue update!!!!!>>>

    Finally came back to work more on my Rodimus Prime and I think I have his vehicle mode done. Tho he has the wrong spoiler on. Next will be to figure out fully how his head works for transformation and then finish painting him. I added a new pic of him cause I want to work on bot mode more before I show him.

    I'm guessing the higher one is the Rodimus. I'd go with that. Kinda reminds me of Optimus's smokestacks. Shows a strong silhouette. Looking good!!!

    Thanks! The trailer doesn't fit over Hot Rod's spoiler but that is not a big deal. Will update soon.

    Thanks! I added a teaser pic.

    Also I was wondering if I could use Pledge Future to seal my figure instead of using the Testors Semigloss sealer? Would it work or make it sticky? Thanks for any info.

    Woo! Almost there. Will his "trailer" become a battle deck, like the G1 toy?

    Wait... durrrr... that IS the G1 toy! :D 

    I love how much more "heavy duty" the new alt-mode looks.

    This is a neat concept actually.

    i'm still longing for a proper Classics Rodimus (MTMTE or G1).

    Very cool idea. I'm not super into it yet, but I'd love to see where you go with it. It looks like the tricky part is going to be getting everything to mesh together. That said, I love the creativity. Keep it up, man!

    This is the best Rodimus retool of this mold I have seen. I am liking the ALT mode which is the standout for this one.

    I'll be watching the progress for sure.

    Thanks guys! I should have some more progress and will update tomorrow. Now I have a spare Sandstorm that I took his head and ball joint from and I have been thinking that it might look awesome in Halo Pelican colors. Might be my next project will see.
