    Finally after searching for months for a 1/18 Camarro, I came across another KO Oversized Bumblebee. Quickly moded the vehicle mode to make my modern version of the famous Thunderhawk. Now my Specialist Trakker is COMPLETE.

    Custom Info: I didnt bother putting on violet stripes. If i did, it would look too similar with TFTM Cliffjumper. As usual, i paint these vehicles the way i wanted to if i did had these cars. I got everything feature down, except for 2 things, the Jet Exhaust below the rear bumpers and the bombs. Aside from those, i pretty much got the wings, both the sides and the rear. I did add some headlights, with the switch underneath in the chasis. The additional weapons/wings on the doors are attachments. I couldnt find a way to slide them inside the doors. If i left them foldable, there would be no way to fit figures inside in car mode.

    here are the pics.

    I don't think adding the stripes, with the grid and lightning stripes would be bad. I think the lack of those makes it look like the film version of Cliffjumper, than without them.

    Still, nice custom.

    I LOVE that! Hah! Nice.
    But I really think it needs the purple on the hood to bring it together because just having the purple spoiler looks out of place to me.

    Excellent work. I agree with others here, the stickers would be a great addition to balance out that rear spoiler. I found this decent res images on the interwebs, a little Photoshopping and some inkjet sticker paper might do the trick.
