[url="http://forums.TFormers.com/talk/inde...4&st=0&start=0"]http://forums.TFormers.com/talk/inde...4&a...t=0&start=0[/url] the head has gone through quite a few concepts until the final one seen in the painted pictures below. Originally I wanted to have glowing ears so I moded the side horns from cybertron downshift to attach to the sunstreaker head with a mouthplate made from modeling putty. I promptly lost one of said modded horns and so looked at the alternatives, the head that came with the body is now back as it was sans horns awaiting being placed onto sideswipe when he comes out and have used the cybertron downshift head (with sunstreaker ears) with it's neck widened to accomodate the balljoint inside the head. his legs simply look better to me transformed like that are are more stable without the feetdeployed in this alternative tf. he is fully transformable but his head catches unless it is rotated along with the legs for transformation. the reprolabels came yesterday and i applied them today. Still a few touch ups needed and the paint is not 100% even but by my standards I'm pretty happy with him. Of note is that without adding the stickers the mould gives off a Downshift vibe.
