    This is something I'm working on for a friend, he wanted a green Sideswipe so this is the beginning of what I've started for him, still a few parts left to paint green, then some silver and deciding on eye color and detailing. He's got a bio I'm working on as well, Cannaboss and his partner Dimebag (Green RTS BB) supply Beachcomber with his Green Energon, made from oil of a plant found on Earth. :cool: 

    Some reference on Green Energon... :)  http://youtu.be/T_sBZx9ZGI8

    Thank you! I wasn't sure how my Cannabots would be received, or if there was much love here for this wonderful plant. I'm about to paint his roof and the doors are drying now.

    I love the idea! Unfortunately don't have a printer to make such things, but if you or anyone else might be inclined to make some, I'd love to help with a design. As of right now I was going to use some clear white reprolabels for he and Dimebag.

    I love you, too! :wink:

    Heh. That's a really nice green. The end result looks like it might be reminiscent of GoBot High Beam. (heh heh... "high" "beam"... heh heh.)

    EDIT: and here I thought I was being clever by having a fan-character named "Hotbox" (he's a Mini-Con that turns into one of those tow-behind barbeque smokers...)

    First off, really digging the shiny green. Secondly I'm digging the names even more!
    You should put a lightning bolt somewhere on the Dimebag custom you're making. You know, give it a little hidden homage.

    Roof minus tape.

    Thanks! Haha, lots of creative ideas here! I'll have to look up High Beam, lol. :) 

    Thank you, sir!

    Thank you, the color is a lot nicer than I even expected it to be. Really happy with the way he's turning out as is the friend he's going to. I might just do that, Dimebag has been taken apart, but haven't started painting him yet and as nice as Cannaboss is turning out I'm really looking forward to getting to work on Dimebag. :) 

    LMAO! :lol

    You never know who may run into that supports flowers. Definitely can't wait to see the two of the customs in a pic together.

    It was only a matter of time before a square tried to harsh the mellow.

    Its not about cool, man. If you want to talk facts, cannabis seeds are the best protein available for the human body. Cannabis oil cures Cancer, Diabetes, heals burns, repairs muscle damage, eliminates scar tissue and stretch marks. On top of that, it shares compounds with the human body that are found in our brains, spines and a mother's breast milk. Cannabis is not about cool, its about nutrition for the body and mind. If you would like to learn more about why you should learn more about this beautiful flower, I'd recommend checking out Phoenix Tears for a wealth of knowledge on the subject.
