Solscud007 Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 (edited) Ok I tried to look up the correct alternate tranformation for Lambo but could not find it. So here is my Sideswipe alternate transformation. I remember that the trunk was the chest and I thought the doors were opened like wings (from some TF website a while back) If you do this the trunk only closes so much on the chest. If the wings are open and the wheels are behind the shoulders facing backwards, the wheels block the fender from going over the shoulder. Now if you have the wings and wheels to the side of the shoulders then there is clearance for the wheel well to fit over the chest shoulders. Edited February 1, 2004 by Solscud007
Solscud007 Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 (edited) oh yeah this is what you need to do for the trunk mod Edited February 2, 2004 by Solscud007
Solscud007 Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 (edited) Also I didnt like jsut swapping the hands. I swapped arms. Now there is a problem if you do this. Do not swap the bicep portion of the arms. They are positioned in such a way as to being detrimental to transformation in car mode if swapped. Unscrew the screw in the bicep. Remove the lower portion of the arm and swap that forearm assembly with the other side. that way you dont have gaps on the outside of the arms. Edited February 2, 2004 by Solscud007
Solscud007 Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 See here is a pic of the wing open version.
Solscud007 Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 And here it is with the doors and wheels to the side of the arms. Much better huh?
eriku Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Looks great Solscud. Swipe's original bot mode is still my favorite though.
VF-1Guy Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Has anybody hear that the Mazda Alt is names Skids?I literally heard this 15 minutes ago from a coworker of mine. ??? His source? Link? This name had occured to me. I finally decided it was the shape of the door wings that caused the idea to pop into my head. I never had Skids, so I'm not sure what his head looks like. I still think Jazz would be a better fit, especially if the red color is not final.
Tiny Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Jazz should still be a porsche... keep them to their original makes and models . Bumblebee as the new bug, Inferno as a new fire truck, and so on and so forth.
eriku Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 Jazz should still be a porsche... keep them to their original makes and models . Bumblebee as the new bug, Inferno as a new fire truck, and so on and so forth. That would be nice, but as we've already established in the last 9 pages of this thread, there wont be any VW or Porsche Bin/Alt toys, meaning Bumblebee and Jazz will have to be other vehicles if their names are used.
Solscud007 Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Here is my detailed engine bay for sideswipe
Solscud007 Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Here is a full shot of the car with engine bay
UN Spacy Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Are you planning to mod Sideswipe anymore Solscud? I wonder if they're still going to make a Binaltech Prowl. If they use the Subaru mold (uh.....again) it'll probably look like THIS (E-BAY AUCTION LINK).
Solscud007 Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 (edited) Are you planning to mod Sideswipe anymore Solscud? Yep. I got a Viger GTS diecast and will put those rims on and when i get another sideswipe I will do a racing version. Jsut white stripes and Spoiler. Maybe it will be a sunstreak version. Edited February 2, 2004 by Solscud007
cube Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 awww...that prowl is PIMP! Too bad he didn't wait for silverstreak/bluestreak so he could get the stock hood.
Hoptimus Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Wow that Prowl is awesome. Hopefully we get an official one like that. Hmm Sideswipes alt transformation is cool but I like his default one.
Anubis Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 That prowl is sweet!! As for Sideswipe, I saw him in Target, but decided to hold off on buying him. It just never caught my eye as much as smokescreen did. Now, Hound, I will buy when he comes out.
chowyunskinny Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Wonder if that Prowl was inspired by these photoshop renditions... Cool Photoshop Binaltech/Alternators Check em out...He made Cliffjumper as a PT Cruiser and Bumblebee as a Mini Cooper.
1 VF-1 2NV Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Found Sideswipe at TRU today.snip Me too !
OptionZero Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Pics of my BT/Alt collection: one each of SS and SS loose, one each MISB, and one opened but boxed Alt Smokey...cna't find alt 'swipe yet.
JRock Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Has anybody hear that the Mazda Alt is names Skids?I literally heard this 15 minutes ago from a coworker of mine. ??? His source? Link? Unfortunately, He couldn't remember the link, since when he found out about it, it was 3 in the morning. But Apparantly, he wasn't half sleep when he saw it. http://www.2005boards.com/showthread.php?threadid=37291
pfunk Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Hmm Sideswipes alt transformation is cool but I like his default one. me 2
Solscud007 Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 (edited) And more mods to Sideswipe. Had to get rid of the bling bling dubs it was riding on and go for some real looking viper GTSR rims. snazzy huh? Edited February 4, 2004 by Solscud007
Solscud007 Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Close up. Oh I cant use teh cybertron radials cause the width and diammeters are a little off. So now I got it on goodyear tires
Solscud007 Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 I also added the racing gas cap liek that on the Mini Cooper S and this corvette that is in my APT complex
Hoptimus Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 LOL!! I love this. We are modding TF Alternators now. What wont MW'ers modify?
JRock Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 I managed to try out Sideswipe at work. Why they gotta make him bowlegged? I love the car mode better than the bot mode. Alternate transformation be damned.
muswp1 Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 It's because of how the grille transforms. I've been looking at that for a while, but there is no clean way to modify the feet because the headlights are too close to the feet to move the grille anywhere else.
1 VF-1 2NV Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 Stopped by my local Walmart, Toys r us, and target stores. There are alot of hasbro alternators smokescreen & sideswipe there for $20 a pop ! Can't wait for Silverstreak !
UN Spacy Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 I wasn't going to pick up anything from Wal Mart because I only needed to pick up my new eyeglasses. Well, I decided to make a detour, low and behold I found a Sideswipe Alternator amongst the hundreds of Energon pieces. SCORE!
eriku Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 (edited) Remy has some nice pics up of Alternators Hound. http://www.tfkenkon.com/collection/act191/ The funny thing is he doesn't have it listed yet. His numbered gallerys jump from 190 to 192, so out of curiosity I typed in "191" and found this. Nice little surprise. I must say, this has me even more excited for Hound. I think he's my favorite of the bunch so far. And check out that front and rear suspension! Nice touch. March can't come soon enough! Edited February 8, 2004 by eriku
eugimon Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 ugh... Hound looks great in car mode but I can't bring myself to like his robot mode... I dunno... he just looks really boxy with akward limbs to me.
eriku Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 ugh... Hound looks great in car mode but I can't bring myself to like his robot mode... I dunno... he just looks really boxy with akward limbs to me. Don't most Transformers fit that description? Personally, Hound's bot mode is my favorite of the Bin/Alts so far.
Opus Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 it's sorta lame that they put full doors and the Euro style bumper ends on Hound, but I'll still get one. I'll just do some mods. Stock Jeeps suck anyway.
NERV Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 wow hound is definitely my fav so far, good leg and part poseabilit, the feet r kinda weird but totherwise hes awesome
