Skids was always a natural for Crankcase although i'm sure you wont see any Scions like this one , it does look like Crankcase.

I gave him a couple of guns that he keeps stored in the roof box when not in use . The box itself is kept in place with magnets

plus i added the blue stripe and the rally style lights and i found that the tyres from the kit i stole the lights from fitted so i gave him bigger tyres

and having removed Swindle's spare for the Outback conversion i found it fitted nicely on the back door of my Crankcase

Outback works incredibly well.

Crankcase is wicked. The robot mode design matches up nicely with the G1 version, and the head is spot-on. Even the vehicle mode works well.

You should probably do something about that big Autobot symbol on his shoulder before you introduce him to his fellow Decepticons, though. Something tells me Shockwave/blast/whatever wouldn't approve...

Cheers Warcry i completely missed that , his bio always made him out to be the Con equivalent of Skids so it seemed appropriate.
