not trying to pimp out my Wildrider in your thread, but I thought you might enjoy seeing how low you can go with the RSX.
with your reshelling skills, this shouldn't be a problem. Of course.... with your reshelling skills, you've probably already tried this and found it to not be possible....
anyways, best custom Alt I've seen in MONTHS. a dozen 1/24 scale thumbs up! | |

I'd consider trying to "disguise" the fusion cannon as a subwoofer or similar - mount it behind the seats and maybe slap a "BASS CANNON" sticker on it? |
Why, just cos the G1 toy was that way? Cartoon Megs had some pretty beefy legs...besides I find robots look better with bigger legs anyway 
As for the cannon, I'd originally intended for it go sowhere in the back. But for it to fit anyway in the rear, I'd had to remove a good chunk of the inner leg panel, resulting it less support for the rear window/trunk area during transformation. I specifically added MORE support there so I wouldn't break it and that meant leaving no room for the cannon. I figured the stabilty was worth more. Quote:

| Very nice Wildrider! And actually, I like the higher stance. I thought about fixing it early on(there is a bit of room to move, but not as much as Prowl, given these wheels are wider and bigger), but in the end I think I prefer it to the Skyline's official low-riding. | |
