Sorry but that mode is too musculine to fit Arcee, especially with the big feet. I really like the paint job on it though.

Same here. How about something more feminine for her? Can't think of one though.

yeah, i hate the it's so broadchested, but the idea came more from the vehicle mode, white camaro with pink racing stripes..
Oh well, it was worth a shot

Well, I say finish her up still. It's a good paint job.

Bodybuilder Arcee

I like what you was thinking, taking the head off her motorcycle , and putting it on a car with pink racing stripes, just a shame that it didn't suit that mold. You were on to something there, just keep working it. Just change those stripes to another color and repaint that head, you might get someone you didn't expect. Some of the greatest inventions and recipes have been made by accident.

I think that the mold looks extremely thin for even BumbleBee.
So for Arcee it's more thin. Maybe the CCBB would be better?
Good attempt though. Looks very nice.

I wouldn't totally give up on this just yet... I think there's potential in it. It's a bit "masculine" now, but with a bit more bashing, this could really work.

A larger head in relation to the body would make the shoulders seem less broad. You wouldn't be able to use the Energon Arcee head, but maybe there's another head that would work? Maybe something bashed from an anime figure? Bumblebee's normal round head could even work if you drilled out his normal face, and replaced it with a more feminine one.

Also, you can tilt the chest of the Camaro upwards, to form more of a feminine "bust". If you mount the head so it can slide up higher on the neck, this will elongate the figure's proportions, also making the shoulder area less hulking.

Flipping the front of the car/chest up also makes the waist appear narrower, and accentuates the slight flare of the hips on this figure. Painting the hip area in a lighter colour would also draw attention to the curves there.

As well, I've kitbashed my BB classic Camaro so the hips swivel. This puts more of the car's structure on the lower legs, and with a little bit of cutting, the rear fender can flip around front to form much smaller feet. They could even be given "high heels" if you wanted to.

I don't have a picture of what I mean... hm.

Alternately, if you really wanted to do an Arcee bash, you could try working with RID Sideburn. That's actually a very feminine mold, and the car mode has lots of curves too. Best of all, if you wanted to place her with Movie transformers, the size, style and detail level of the RID cars isn't far off.

wow, thanks SMOG!! Those are all great ideas!! There is hope for this one

I'm definitely new to the bashing end of this, so I'll need to look up some of the technique (the swivel, for example)

I'll keep working on it, and update this thread when I can!! Thanks again!!
