    Agreed. When I was looking to make this mod myself, I was trying to find a way to utilize a pair of extra wings that could convert into a chassis for Lug to attach to. Then I got red biked by other projects.

    According to tfwiki her transformation is similar to TR mindwipe, Her legs are supposed to become the upper wings, but that would require a new pair of legs.

    Worth trying out if I can track down a cheap RID Windblade.

    This is still one of my very favorite conversions.

    For anyone who bought the kit (or if @SteamShield himself wants to chime in), I was wondering how difficult it would be to modify this kit for PotP Battleslash (removing his helicopter blade, natch) instead? I'm going to take a stab at making an Anode head for him from Sculpey -- and a Lug head for PotP Roadtrap -- and then repainting them both, but doing the wings and turbine/engine from scratch are way outside my noob skill level.

    Yes, they need to be detached to form the engine block of the alt mode.

    You bet. $10 for the figure and ~$20 for the STLs. Well worth it to get an Anode on the shelf.

    @SteamShield Did you remove the sticker from Windblade's chest or just paint over it?

    Removing it would be the best thing to do. Just peel it off and a little isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab should remove the leftover adhesive. I'm guessing that's what he did as well
