    Here is a little throwback to the G1 Ultra Pretender Roadblock.
    I used a SIEGE Ironhide and a Generations Roadbuster head. Added some more tires to the back and threw a barricade/plow on the front of the vehicle.
    I decided to mute the colors slightly from that bright aqua-marine color of the original.
    I used the targetmasters from Generations Scoop to make the Pretender bots. Since the whole unit was originally known as Roadblock I had to break it all down and give each bot its own identity.
    It was a fun project and I'm happy with it.
    It's available for sale if anyone is interested in filling out their SIEGE/Earthrise ranks.

    I love the way your mind works. Seriously. Where is the plow from? I had to look him up, because I pictured something else entirely

    Terrific idea! Only thing I'd change is the name of Detour (since there's already a Decepticon with that name) to Cutoff.

    Awesome, man! :thumbs2: :thumbs2: :thumbs2: 
    Looks really great. How did you attach the rear wheels? EDIT: And is the double cannon attached in alt mode or just sitting on the back?
    The only thing I would have done differently is to paint Roadbuster's visor blue. And is the windshield black or in a very dark purple?
    This mold has so much potential. Besides my G1-style custom of Crosshairs I have three different character conversion customs in planning for this mold (so far :lol ).

    Love the paint work and added plow. The extra set of wheels is pretty slick too!
