    Ever sence I bought Alt Swindle I was never really happy with him. He didn't have the touches he need to call him Swindle. So I gave him some mods by removing the roll cage. Also I removed the tire on the back and replaced it with a new rubber tire. Then I gave him a new paint job and waterslides on the hood. Also I add his signature piece his BFG. Hope you all likes C&C please.

    Excellent weapon add-ons; BT Swindle is one of my favourite TFs, but he does lack firepower! The shoulder missile launcher works really well in bot mode. Good stuff.

    Please, oh PLEASE do tell how you removed the backseat. I've no luck on removing the backseat...and my Toolbox custom Alternator REALLY needs that seat out.

    Nice job. He really looks like his G1 counterpart now :thumb ....loving the BFG too :) 

    The back seat is screwed in from the bottom. to get it out the way I've done it, you'll need to remove the lower part of the leg from the fender assembly....don't loose that spring for the wheel suspension that's in there...and the pin that holds the "ankle" to the lower part of the leg. Now, with an exacto knife, or a box cutter, score the line where the two leg panels meet....they glued these two pieces together....(from experience its mostly at the top of the leg panel, and a little at the bottom where the pin goes thru) just keep scoring that line, and eventually you will get the two leg pieces to separate. Once they do, you can remove the screw that holds the seat in place....then a little dab of glue to help hold them together, pop that pin back in with the "ankle" and your done....repeat for the other leg.

    Looking forward to this "Toolbox" Alt Custom.

    Thanks!
    Cinemastique; yes that is the CJ-6 model kit. I has a lot of nice Jeep add on pieces. Alot of thanks goes out to Wikkid for pointing me in the right direction for that kit.

    The weapon's on G1 Swindle were always one of my favorite's also. It's one of his signature pieces so when i bought him I knew i would need to fix that part about him.
    Also yes the Binaltech version of Swindle has metal Rollbars, so with the Alt version it does make it alot easier to add on these mods.

    That sounds about right on how to remove the seats. Also I added some superglue and puddy to the screw holes then sanded them smooth.
