    So here's the beginning of the project. I want to make a G1 Cybertron Jazz out. I'm starting with Animated because I love the look of the alt mode, but I'm using the head and hands from RTS. The face will be painted steel, just wanted to show how I bought a RTS Jazz that came without paint on the face.
    He still transforms just fine.

    quick update: Realized you can't really see too well without paint on his face, so I did that, and figured out a hood mod from an old model kit. Right now it's just taped on until I get it filed a little more. Next up is the tail fin.

    With the blue front and huge spoiler it kind of reminds me of

    That's the idea! I'm trying to decide if I should cut off the side mirrors.

    Kinda want to get this fig and turn it into a crossover custom since the alt mode looks so much like the old Aston Martin from Bond.

    You could transplant them to be attached to the back like rocket boosters
