    Still a lot more to do but so far liking enough to post him up as well. As same with my Jazz, going to be a non-transforming transformer. I have plans to make Hot Rod here look very interesting and probably a mix between his IDW self and G1 self with the movie vibe toss in.

    5.03.16

    Worked on his arms and torso area. Got a base on his head going. Still have ways to go

    Update: 05.11.16

    Hot Rod nearly done. Adjusted near wing and added doors
    Worked on head for more "Hot Rod-ish" look but still movie style.

    All is left is final clean up pieces and off to paint!

    At last he is done!
    Made from Human Alliance Roadbuster and various other figures, I created my own concept of a movie verse Rodimus/ Hot Rod for the upcoming Transformers movie.
    I mixed various key elements to make him look very interesting and keeping some of the G1 aspects all mixed in the live action movies. He does not transform but he
    has high level of articulation. I completely repainted him into his trademark colors, inspired by IDW designs and my own to bring this movie rodimus to life!

    This is nailed. I like that the exhaust pipes are to the inside of the forearm, how lanky he looks yet he's got that Hot Rod feel. Just totally digging it. And the paint is your usual smooth. Excellent work Xaviercal!

    I love it. I know he does not transform but did you have an altmode in mind when building him?
