    Got my hands on a pretender shell of carnivac for dirt cheap. I was thinking of repainting it as a pretender shell for Newage H-24 Macchio, if it fits. Was thinking beast machine noble colors. Not sure yet.[​IMG] [​IMG]

    Hey, there's a bunch of SG discussion in here, I just tossed in my opinion on the ideas of sg using a plethora of molds that aren't directly repaints of their g1 counterparts.


    Ecto was an ambulance, people think it was.a hearse, I think that would suit the atypical approach sg often used.


    If you want specific to the new age figure, I'm hoping to find out how much finagling and fan moding it would take to make the "cannon with wings and a tiny nose" look more like some type of space ship who flies like a leaf in the wind.

    Ecto-1 IS a hearse, never heard of it being an ambulance. It’s clearly a hearse. And randomly throwing in a post about a CHUG-retooled figure being retooled into SG Ratchet in a thread about New Age’s retool of G1 Galvatron into SG Megatron is more off topic than a lot of the other discussions.

    Actually it's a Cadillac ambulance. Some did get converted to hearses but historically it's a back loading ambulance.

    I was trying to discuss SG character models and retools, not derail the topic, but you do have a point about it being official. My bad there.

    "The Ectomobile, or Ecto-1 is a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Futura Duplex [1] limo-style endloader combination car (ambulance conversion)".

    Ectomobile - Wikipedia

    So, its basically an ambulance that was also used as a hearse in rural areas where it didn't make sense to have two separate vehicles.

    But to say it isn't an ambulance is pretty ignorant. Some super basic research easily shows otherwise.

    Another idea for a pretender shell would be a SG Galvatron shell with SG Megatron inside.

    There was a concept of a Galvatron shell from the club.

    Should this thread not be called SG Galvatron? Am I missing something.

    No it's very much Shattered Glass Megatron, he was made from Energon Megatron (who was inspired by G1 Galvatron) and SG Galvatron is made from Cyebrtron Evac.

    Awesome! I'm all paid up with showz just waiting for that incoming status, then with the shipping notice:) 

    These guys are sort of going to be their own thing in my collection. Taking names, kicking ass, wherever there is injustice, they'll be there! With karate skills! I still haven't looked up SG canon but will do at some point but I just felt compelled to get these guys from NA anyway.

    There's something appealing about having your favourite Decepticons probably not wanting to kill you.

    Sadly the only G1 character that transforms into a large enough helicopter to use as a base for an SG Galvatron, Springer, transforms into a totally different kind of helicopter.

    Paid up this morning too... actually really excited for this guy especially as I love the NA Galvatron mold.

    Be interesting to see how different this ends up being. :)

    What about Highbrow? Although I'm not sure how long it would take for NA to get to the headmasters.

    They could go really out there and use Battletrap or Spinster, but again that would be a long way away, they probably want to get through the earlier show characters first.

    Can't wait to see the quality SG photos mate... I ordered the last NA Black Ironhide from ShowZ this morning to have an autobot contingent... less than £20 on sale!!
    Could do with an MS SG Prime but doubt I'll find one them for decent money anywhere now... :(

    They could just make an Evac and repaint that if they wanted to.
