    Not much to say here. It was just a super quick custom. Sadly I didnt have any triple pipes to add to his arms/sides of the car but thats alright. hes still recognizable.

    thats surprisingly good. I wouldnt think sideswipes mold would make for a good hotrod but its not bad at all.

    i would suggest some straws for the pipes if you have some. cheap and effective.

    It feels like a custom from a world where the TFTM cast didn't get treated as equal in stature to the pre-Movie guys and so we have to kitbash our Hot Rods out of Sideswipes.

    It works pretty well, too!

    Wow! That character works well on that mold. It has a bit of the Alternators vibe to it.

    Nicely done!

    Robot mode is not my cup of tea but the alt mode looks great :thumb

    I always like to as in general what paints you used and what technique?
    Do you disassemble the figure and strip off the existing paint? Just paint over?
    Do you dye the parts?

    Probably, all you'd need is a new head, new spoiler, maybe if you wanted to you could find a way to get rid of the exhaust pipes.
