    What to do with a spare Alternators Shockblast? I was talking to Superquad7 about doing an alt-movie barricade, but what other ideas would you guys have?

    Paint him grey and name him Astro Magnum! Or use the carbon kit from Reprolabels to make him more sporty. Or put a Jazz head and hand on him and make him Pimpin' Purple Jazz.

    Give it to me. :D 

    Seriously though, I'd go for the Shackblast idea like SQ7 and Squall did....that mold looks really cool in silver :thumb

    Paint him blue and make him into Whirl.
    Turn him into movie Swindle,
    Turn him into Actionmaster Windmill.
    Get some repro heads off Sculptbot and turn him into Bumblebee or Cliffjumper.

    I must finish my ones of these but tilt the head up so the long axis is vertical and paint the head silver and the body green. Tunr into Rack or Ruin repeat with another one for the full set.

    I think an Alternators Movie Swindle is the best idea. He just needs new hands and a good paintjob.

    It'd be nice poetic justice too seeing how many people turned Swindle into Shockwave.

    In all fairness,Alternators Shackblast was a metallic gray :)  Squall's Shackwave is silver. I'd know since I have it :D

    Wouldn't Alt. Grimlock work better for Barricade, given that they're both Mustangs?

    Maybe. But that doesn't really matter as much as I really like the RX8 mold. And, yes, the mustang mode works really well, especially with the chest being the same as the deluxe mold (both mustang fronts). But I think the RX8 would make a really cool alternative.
