    Sideswipe is sprayed in Sikkens base/clear with the original colour used in 84 on the Countach, Rosso Siviglia.

    The rear section between the taillights and muffler becomes the shoulder launcher.

    Sideswipes weopon is a knockoff Devastator gun with Prowls handle and tip added. The seats now become the feet as there wasn't enough room under the lid to fit them.

    Here's the next project....

    Masterpiece Rumble. I'd actually like opinions on whether or not the pile drivers as connected components is good or no. They will be larger and the upper arms will be rounded to appear to be part of them. Or option 2 is to make them add-ons.

    Great how that came out. I love the doors on the back in robot mode. Do you have to detach to get that to work or does it functionally transform without removing the doors?

    And I liked the missile launcher on the tail end in car mode. Great idea. :)

    They don't need to be removed. I dremeled out the section under the dash which allows them to swing low like that.

    That's cool. I was thinking about attempting that if I could ever find a Lambo model kit or something. Sideswipe has always been the Alt. I've been the least impressed with. However, that's probably more of a G1 accurate thing as the mold it's self is nice.
