    I understand completely. So please take your time if needed we'll wait maybe not for some, but some can wait. Just keep us updated, when you can.

    OMG, dude that name totally fits. I read your post and it just hit me. That name is perfect. This custom will now officially be CAPSIZE.

    Overboard and Shipwreck are great too. Ill take note and keep these names for future customs. Unless somebody else uses it of course. THanks guys!

    Well the name overboard was a name for a custom thats in a wip mode that I made up, but hey it I wont mind if there two Overboards. But still I like the name Capsize, that custom would be unique to see completed.

    capsize is excellent. you could call it a Diaclone and name it A-1912 weak i know but i had to say it. here are a few good ones off the top of my head. hullscar ,hullscrape, hullbreak, fathomndeath, deadberg or deathberg(<maybe better for the iceberg lol) , godwraith, or undertow.

    you could Make a minicon for him and name him aft-dance
    if you make a bio about his weapon it could be a nitrogen spewing freez gun.

    take your time your job becons first .look forward to seeing more pics

    Hey GGD I see that you posted some pics on Capsize's head and I realize that you did some modification and my opinion is that its not half bad. I guess you wanted him to have a more badass look, well its working. lol

    anovasinn- Those names are cool and different, the ones that caught my attention were hullbreak and undertow. I think those would be great names for a minicon if GGD decides to. And that a nitrogen spewing freeze gun (sounds like Mr. Freeze, but all well) is kinda exactly what I'm pondering as well. But still not to be ahead of yourself, that this is GGD's custom and if he decide to use then that's awesome and if not well you're not going to riot. lol But still very cool ideas to say the least.

    hmmmm, Undertow is a good name too. I may use some of your suggestions on some other projects. I went from not knowing what to name this bot to having to many names to choose from. I will stick with Capsize since that name jumped out at me the most.

    I did do some work to Capsize's head tonight. I will be adding a ball joint so the head can pivot in all directions including up and down. What you see now for head is just a roughing out and will look a lot better when done. It may even look completely different when done. The mouthpiece is a piece of metal I threw on. I need to get some better angles on it and trim it. Once Im satisfied with look I will upgrade it to a nice thick piece of brass or aluminum. I thought about just chopping the top of his head off and just coming up with something better than a gold stripe that it came with. I also included pics of the head as it came stock so you can see the differences.

    Man, GGD all those names that we came with, I think if was you I would write everyone of those names so that down the road I'll use those for my next project. Thats how I did it and write down the mold that I might be using for it. As for Capsize, well you got busy the head or posting some concepts, in which thats cool. Anyways, hmmm, just keep us updated on your progress and if got questions well their are alot of customizer, who would be happy to answer ya.

    it was just my 2 cents as well as this. i just thought it was rather fast for the name with only a couple thrown out there. i don't expect anybody to use my ideas unless they want to. i like capsize its just the titanic did not capsize. so i thouht i would add to the choices. i would never riot just picket thats all;)
