    Okay so I feel like If you found Godmaster bracelets this would be a no brainer as they are much stronger but let’s say you find out you find a Headmaster suit when you get your car. You know of the Autobot vs Decepticon war and if you use it you will be drawn into it.

    Plus its whatever your own vehicle is is the only vehicle you can use it on. So no running to the car dealers to bond with the top of the range sports car. Performance stars wise your Robot form will be equivalent to the performance of your car. So if it’s a old run down car your robot form will be old and weak. If it’s a small sports car it’ll will be a quick but maybe lacking endurance. Keep this in mind because you’d be dragged into a war with probably average abilities.

    Car technology also improves all the time so even if your vehicle has performance that outshine for example the Fairlady Zs in their day they were more impressive.

    So would you do it?

    If my car was used, do I have the option to take the suit to the dry-cleaners first? I feel like those things would get sweaty fast.

    im sure they have strategic air conditioning ;) 

    Maybe it’s a helmet that becomes a suit.

    No.... I cant use most of the modern tech in my car already, so i would have no chance of controlling it in robot mode.

    I would defiantly go and get a newer vehicle. I would either get a Jeep or sneak into a hanger on the air force base where I would a hop in at A-10... On second thought fuck the Jeep.

    Can I "upgrade" my current vehicle? If I can then absolutely, hell yes.

    Yeah I guess if it was a feasible upgrade.

    Personally I’ve got a SAAB 9-3 turbo. It’s a wee bit older but has all the extras that most cars have. It’s built like an absolute tank and with the turbo it’s surprisingly fast and effortlessly so. Problem is it’s not great fuel economy and I guess it’s not sporty quick due to the size and weight.

    So I’m guessing it would be more of a bruiser. Still got all the tech of a modern Carbot. Not super strong but definitely more so than most carbots and tougher. Probably more akin to Trailbreaker. How he was a bit of an older model and had poor fuel efficiency.

    Would be worth a try but I’d definitely try not to bite off more than I can chew.

    A lot of people get carsick just from sitting in the back seat. So I can only imagine all the vomiting to come from having your body folded up in to an upside-down ball and then bouncing around on a running and jumping robot's shoulders.

    That said, yeah, I'd give it a whirl.

    I've had small roadsters in the past.
    A Datsun 2000 and an MR2 Spyder.

    So I'd figure, I'd be less "Headmaster" and more Mospeeda Cyclone.

    On the other hand, for work I drive a Tractor Trailer.

    Hmmm, so a Transector car that turns into Body armor and then cyberlinks with a tractor trailer?
    Well,,, that's not too bad.

    I'd want to be a 2005 Celica. I love that car.

    Meh, I'm out of practice.

    I really wanted to stay away from doing a "baby Prowl" but habits die hard, the Datsun 2000 is the precursor to the Z, and I couldn't really think of any other part of the car that would bring much interest to the chest.

    As demonstrated by the truck mode. Sigh.

    I wanted to use the whole trailer and keep away from the cab/chest cliché. Putting the cab on the shoulders was a start but I'd already drawn the head which should be obscured by the nearer shoulder. Trailer wheels would form the feet. I even considered using the trailer doors for the chest but figured that would look really dumb.

    Using that much broadside flat space is a gift and a curse. It's a lot of space to cover up and make a shell former, but if you have no idea how you'll deco the torso it just ends up a big rectangle.

    Ummm, can I assume you mean a fembot? Actually, never tried to do that before but I've always found the curves of the 90's Firebird Formula to be stunning. (Even if I hear they're nightmares to work on.)

    IMG_1730.JPG

    Honkamalonkadoo's, that's a brand of tire right? Well they are now, this is a FAMILY show kids! Actually never thought of moving the wheels inside the fenders, but it works. (Heck, it's been done.) detailing those taillights was a real pain.

    Okay, last one. I'm so out of practice.

    IMG_1731.JPG

    Sort of a G1 mini or modern legends vibe. Kinda Decepticon-ish too. Sorry.

    I know one of the artists here used to draw a pretty badass Celica based fembot a while back. Very cheesecake. Anyway, hope you like it.

    Thanks, when you said "Honkamalonkadoo's" I figured cleavage. Pontiac uses a lot of triangles so I thought I could go use that. But the rear fenders have such great curves. So I turned it around. Although I like anime, I never tried to draw in the anime style, so my base proportions are way off. I'd love to see some of the better artists fix my flaws.

    Also, I totally cheated on the transformation, I have no idea how I could get the bumper belt and the hood/front fenders skirt thing to work. But I am proud of the racing goggles/big anime eyes. I picture someone could put G1 style airbrushed reflections on it or maybe mirror the 80's tricolor taillight motif. (Think KITTs dashboard).

    More ideas in my head then what I can put on paper I'm afraid.
