    hi, so someones share with me the idea of revising the head, i am so glad. and here is mine.
    simply shorten the chin, and he looks younger.

    Maybe slimming down some of the bulk would make him look younger.

    He does look younger. This should technically be Hot Rod then. :D

    Very awesome. And this from someone who hated Animated with a passion :p 

    It's not really the bulk that's the issue, it's the proportions of it. He's got a huge upper body, then small lower body.

    Nice sculpt. It definitely helps make him appear more youthful for an Animated take on Hot Rod.

    This looks 1000x better than the original 'solemn' face!

    thanks for all of your comments!

    the chin is simply cut by knife, then use sandpaper for delicate trimming, and finally, use the AB putty to make it round (i cannot recall it so much to the details, sorry for that)
