Or make movie leader Brawl into the Mauler.
Or cut the engines off Universe Powerglide/Stormcloud put them on the wings. And get an extra engine & stick it on the back to make a Cobra Rattler.
Personally, I couldn't be bothered. Too much trouble. The prizes aren't worth the effort. Just my opinion. Unclassified: good luck on this .. cant wait to see this.. Cobra Fox: Holy Cow!! I don't know about those transforming G.I.Joes vehicles. That's alot of work. vidmouse: I think it's worth it just to see some cool Joe Transformers come to life.
Guess I'm finally gonna have to finish mine... I'll be busy though, ugh. March will be here before we know it.
It's funny, I think I like the prizes for the humans category better than the Joe Transformers though, but maybe that's just me, b/c I have a lot of the Transformers stuff already... CdtWeasel: Cool contest, I'd love to enter. Though with fixing up the townhouse I bought don't think I'll have the time/money. vidmouse: Quote:

There are some Transformer vehicles out there already
that are "close" -- does it count if you just pick ANY
tank and repaint it as a MOBAT?
EDIT: i.e. if I picked a FANG copter to turn into a
transformer, could I use one of the Lanard toy's
versions instead, as long as in the end it looked like
a Fang, more or less? (not sure if I could get the
bubble cannon on the nose for example)
Also, what if in vehicle mode you have a sculpt that
is dead-on for Joe universe but the paint isn't because
of the robot mode colors needed for the Transformer?
Some leeway given here? Robowang: Can I just enter Energon Snowcat into the contest? 
Robowang COL Abernathy: Aw, when i was reading the contest descriptions I was hoping there'd be a "crossover" contest - u know, where u could build a Prowl that transformed into Snake Eyes or something. The BLAY: cant wait to see what you masters of customization churn out for us! Pyroclasm: Unfortunately, none of the categories fall into what I would have wanted to do for a GvT contest. The three categories prevent other creative interpretations. Good luck, guys! swafus: Rule #1: The entry must be a Human or Alien character from the Transformers Universe.
Soooooo... that's like 5 different choices, right? Imperial_Serpentor: Quote:

Spike

Daniel
Quintessons
Marissa Faireborn
Mr. Draft or daft or whoever (The one who worked with Cobra Commander)
The Golden One

Hell you could even do Flint as Marissa's Father or Old Snake the aged version of Cobra Commander
Then there's Kicker from the Energon cartoon, the list goes on and on. DESTRO: Quote:

| | Tuscan | | Post Deleted by on 12-31-1969 07:00 PM | Xerofall: I'm going to give it a go... a transforming Cobra vehicle. It probably won't look pretty, but in order to make it look good I'd have to be into plastic toy manufacturing...
But I'll give it a shot, and that's the point of this contest... to try your best. Xerofall: Disassembly and re-assemble almost complete, lol. Now I have to paint it and make up some cool added info.
It went a little easier than I thought, I might just have to do another one but the Transformers are bare right now. vidmouse: Hehheh... wonder how many Hiss tank Optimus's and Ironhides we'll get because of the comic book... Pyroclasm: I've been pondering some other ideas, and so I need to clear some stuff before I proceed.
The following pertain to the first category:
1) Are we allowed to add or switch parts from the Joe vehicle to make a modified version? For example, could I change the gun on a FANG to a camera, or add miniguns to a Firebat?
2) Does the Joe vehicle have to be the same color as the standard version? For example, would it be ok to paint a RAM pink?
3) Do the robot parts have to come from an actual Transformer, or can it be from any robot line such as EXO-Squad?
The following are for the second category:
1) Saw you mention Black Spiderman. Does that mean ANY character that has appeared in a crossover with the TFs qualify as being from the Transformers Universe?
And for the category 3 questions:
1) Can the characters be original or another series? As long as one is made of 25th parts, and the other is a Transformer? For example what if I wanted to make a 25th Mr. T with a Transforming Van?
2) What about if say the character I want to do is linked through another character to the Joe universe?
*Note the above questions have had some information altered to protect the identity of the toys involved.  Hope I didn't ask something that was obviously spelled out. DESTRO: 1) Are we allowed to add or switch parts from the Joe vehicle to make a modified version? For example, could I change the gun on a FANG to a camera, or add miniguns to a Firebat?
Yes as long as it looks like the FANG and or the FireBat when finished.
2) Does the Joe vehicle have to be the same color as the standard version? For example, would it be ok to paint a RAM pink?
I think its best to stick with the original colors for the Vehicle shell but the robot colors can be as needed.
3) Do the robot parts have to come from an actual Transformer, or can it be from any robot line such as EXO-Squad?
All Parts are fair game.
The following are for the second category:
1) Saw you mention Black Spiderman. Does that mean ANY character that has appeared in a crossover with the TFs qualify as being from the Transformers Universe?
Yes
And for the category 3 questions:
1) Can the characters be original or another series? As long as one is made of 25th parts, and the other is a Transformer? For example what if I wanted to make a 25th Mr. T with a Transforming Van?
They must be from the G.I. Joe and Transformers Universe. If you decide to do a character that is not well known it would be best to point out where they showed up in said universe.
2) What about if say the character I want to do is linked through another character to the Joe universe?
The character must have made an appearance in any from of Media in the G.I. Joe or Transformers Universe.
Hope that helps good luck. Jin Saotome: Hmmmmmmm...

I'm not really interested in making more specific Joe vehicles into transformers. I've already done a Landmine to AWE Striker and Powerglide to a Rattler. But I'd love to see a GI Joe/Transformers crossovers done in the style of how we have the Marvel Legends/Transformers crossovers. That way you can have TONS more creativity involved. Imagine an Arcee-to-Zarana, or a gang of TF motorcycle Dreadnoks with leather fringe and saddlebags. There's your winning contest. jezones: well i have taken the plunge. i started cutting up a vintage 20 year old joe vehicle. hold up thats crazy. that thing was sitting up in someones attic for like 20 years and then i buy it off ebay. it sits on my shelf for about a year and then one day a guy takes a dremel to it. poor toy.
at first i wasnt going to do this contest, i was really disapointed with the hiss tank contest. and i thought this was past my skill level. but for some reason after looking at some of the early entries i figured what the hell. all i have is a image in my head and some pretty big plans. wish me luck. If it comes out like i hope it will, it will be freakin awsome. gian7675: Xerofall@
Yo! Nice entry =) It makes me think that this is a G1 toy =) Nice filecard too LOL! TANK_DRIVER785: i have a question for the mods on the rules
if i need to add on to my custom like add styrene and such will it be a valid entry?
the majority of the outer "hull" is original but i need to "build it up to accomidate parts
just need to clarify thanks DESTRO: Quote:
