i used an FOC Prime torso and the legs from a classics deluxe prime. After lots of material removal this is what i've come up with so far. i really like the car mode, it looks Batmobilish or maybe could pass for Dragstrip (since its got two wheels in the front). the copter mode needs more material removal. the bot mode is decent. at least it doesn't look entirely like FOC prime in bot mode. i shaved down the head a bit in places to make it look slightly more like the G1 sandstorm head. sooooooooo yeah.... Update: I couldn't do what I originally intended with the arms. So I just left the arms like they are in car mode. I need to fill in the gap in the front of helicopter mode. I'm thinking of making a weapon to fill it. Untitled by twichyy, on Flickr Untitled by twichyy, on Flickr Untitled by twichyy, on Flickr Bot mode, with new head location. Will glue the head and arm rotation mechanism, since they will no long be necessary.

that upper torso looks kind of awkward. Maybe if you transformed the upper body normally it might look more natural
There is a huge gapping hole in his stomach... Untitled by twichyy, on Flickr The way I have it in bot mode is more like the G1 toy. The cockpit/cabin is facing downwards as his chest. Untitled by twichyy, on Flickr Plus filling in that hole would be a killer.
Energon quickstrike... The red helicopter. But I just put that there for a quick pic. Gonna try to find another rotor so I don't sacrifice my quickstrike. Thanks I would too. Lol.
I can see what you're going for. Maybe if you added a hinge to allow the arms to rotate downward to line up better. Having the shoulders sit at the same level as the head just looks off. or maybe work out a way to let the neck assembly flip higher up
i could figure out the car mode until i realized i was looking at it backwards haha looking real good
If I do anything to the arms I loose what hold the head in place. The head and arms depend on each other other. If you have a foc prime and take it apart you'll see what I mean. Thanks. I'm thinking I should go with something slightly smaller though. But ill keep the offer in mid. Lol. Prime legs usually do go in the back. I see how it could confuse.
I know how it works. But a rotation piece on the outside just under the ball joint would still be possible, wouldn't be the cleanest but it would bring the arms down to a more natural level
I love it! I think if you can make it so the head doesn't stick out so far, it'll look better. Like have it back in the hole?
Guess I'll have to figure out how to get him to stand like foc prime and not have a terrible stomach ulcer. I have epicness to contend with after all... Lol
perhaps you could switch the hands around and use the back as the chest. Then with some clever paint work you could make it look like the canopy of the vehicle
I don't know, the way the head sits on the body there, I could see that being a perfect Jhiaxus with a bit of work But all in all, looks pretty good. I think you'll figure something out.
