thanks for the feedback.

Can't you remove the big arm from Skids and give it to Mudflap in order to make a Skids with 2 normal arms and a Mudflap with 2 big arms?

That's the route that I would take, if he can still transform with 2 big arms.

green over orange makes it look like a classic "Woody"

Woody's are a pacific coast kinda thing that surfers used to really dig.

and the vehicles are called Woodys because they used to be largely made out of wood with a metal frame.

I voted for #1, but i think i personally would prefer to see a slightly brown-ish orange.

I only have one Skids and he is being done in G1 colors, and I don't think
either one could transform with 2 big arms, the way they fold up inside
the body.

but the darker Orange could work, and yeah it kind of does look like a Woody.

I was messin around with my twins and found that its pretty simple to double up on big arms, a little cutting is required but nothing hard, I think I'm going to do this too lol now to decide on which head to use

I definitely like the green-over-gray, with brown/orange robot parts (amongst the steel or black robotic-looking components) This is a good idea. Curious to see how you make the various mods work.

Hi Shadowfall,

I'm considering doing a Brawn repaint too; here's a WIP digibash of what I've come up with so far. Hope it can inspire or help you out when you're doing yours!

I've got him already almost done, I sprayed the car body today, just have to
let him cure and light sand out any rough spots. I've almost finished the bot
parts, probably won't get back to him until Monday, but he's looking good
my two tone painting skills are really rusty but a little sanding and he'll be fine
to touch him up won't be a problem.

And actually now that the Mirage head is painted silver it looks good on top
of the bot parts, just have to see how it looks when he's back together. I
have to remove the red paint from the tail lights, and do final detail work
when he's together, then I will gloss coat the entire alt mode, like I did Skids.

I managed to swap Mudflaps big arm on to Skidz, and with a little bit of jiggling it transforms just fine. I would assume it would woke fine vice versa, as Mudflap has the Biggest big arm of the two.
