    The 2nd pic is a yellowing Protectobot Emergency Response Patrol 3 pack which I used as base. They are also an official repaint of Ratchet and Blazemaster

    Thanks. Honestly it was an accidental blotch in the middle but decided to leave it as looks right.

    The closest thing is Runabout but that is just not easily available as well. Anyway Windcharger is a Pontiac TransAm Firebird.. so I guess good enough

    I bought it cheap from a seller due to that condition. And plain colour was a perfect base for repaint

    Not many TF copter model can fit Airwolf since its based on a civilian heli Bell 222. Saw another old post someone used the rescue copter Evac.

    I love this! I also love the way Windcharger's helmet design kinda suggests a mullet.

    Love the concept. I prefer the G1 era myself so would've preferred to see combiner versions. Combiner wars First Aid, Breakdown and Vortex maybe?
    Retooled Offroad as a Lifeguard from Baywatch. Maybe Deadend as Face's car, or a Streethawk from Groove.

    Combiner idea is pretty awesome! The reservations is on Airwolf, which need that distinct heli model resemblance. Vortex's front part is perfect, just the body is elongated, but some colour illusion might do the trick. Still a very tempting idea though

    Yes, too bad about the height though. Did not have any good ideas on a deluxe size KITT crossover

    I swear I've always wanted a new show with all of the super vehicles from the 80's on the same team, Expendables style. This project is totally my jam.

    Those are the top 3 TV super vehicles of childhood. Definitely a dream come true if they are rebooted in a crossover ala Ready Player One
