    Ok, I finally got this working, thanks for bearing with me.

    This guy was dug out of a box recently, I had built him somewhere between TF07 and RotF. Hes copped some hard play, breakages, being crammed into various boxes for half his life and I thought it was time to share him.

    Methanol was built from a TF07 dlx Bee, 07 dlx Brawl arms, Classics Darkmount head, and a 1/32 Camaro model kit. Lots of hacking and grinding was done to graft that shell over him.

    Bio Time!

    Methanol was your typical Decepticon scout, he's fast, and his vocal processor is faster. He prefers to travel light, believing too many armaments and ammunitions storage can slow you down. Specialises in close quarter combat. He gets in, gets it done, and gets out. Well, his rough and tumble nature means this is usually just scraping out of biting off more than he can chew.

    This was until the War brought the cons to Earth. Sure, these primitive little fleshlings could be stomped and wiped away with little effort, but there was something about them he respected. Their way of life reminded him of a time back home before the War, before those wretched Autobots. Not only did they lose their means to repair his home, they brought the War to someone else's home. Forcing the humans to jump into a fight that wasn't theirs, one he knew they will lose.

    Left nearly dead during Chicago, he decided that being another click in the Autobot's kill count, or a guinea pig to their Human allies wasn't his thing, he shed his Cybertronian alt for an Earthen mode, ground off his badge, and dissappeared to wander the highways.....

    Thanks mate. The first attempt I tried with a Mach 1, but it was too narrow in the sideskirt department, that's how his rear quarter thigh panels ended up extending his doorwing kibble. Had no room in there for the swivel.

    Nah galaxy s5 mate. I tried rotating and re uploading but they turned out the same :(  Next time I'll just landscape the botmode shots.

    It could be the "picture data" in the original has not changed. When you rotate a picture in a gallery app on most phones, it does not actually change the picture, but rather tells the phone to "remember" which way round you want to see it. Hence, when you use a different app or hardware to view it, the picture is still "the wrong way round". If you use an app like "Picsart" (on Google Play), you can then "share" the pictures from your gallery app and then edit them in Picsart. You can then rotate the picture and save it again through that app and it should work.
