Alternators Arcee

Overdrive regrets getting drunk and wishes he'd been like the other mechs and just got an embarrassing tattoo

The head is Overdrive's original with some filing and the addition of a couple of Wheels from an Airfix Panther tank kit, i had with half the bits missing, and a bittl of plastic strip for the crest.

The chest is the bottom half of the Panther tank triimmed to fit with some of the rivets sanded off.

The only other alterations was some extra detailing to the knees (Panther Tank hatch covers and switching the hands round so they were the right way up with Overdrives body now facing the other way

The alt-mode looks surprisingly good...exactly the sort of girlie sportscar I'd expect to see wearing a bright pink paint job.

Robot mode is a bit iffy, IMO. The colour scheme works pretty well, but the design isn't very feminine, and it doesn't scream 'ARCEE' even with the nicely-done head. Even still, it works better than some official Alts, so I can hardly complain very strenuously about it.

All in all, a nice job. :)

I think it's a good work.
I like the choice of that vehicle, a pink aereodinamic spider.:up:

I gotta agree with Warcry, the robot mode isn't very feminine, though I don't think there is much that can be done to improve that situation.

Thanks , unfortunately the Alts don't really lend themselves to feminine curves.
