Classics Hot Rod

I used a Reveal the Shield Rodimus as base (not sure why they don't call him Hot Rod anymore..) but I retooled him a little, to make him more interesting and unique.

 

First of all, I never liked the head sculpt, since it looks nothing like the cartoon version, so I resculpted it, and gave him his signature helmet look. I also added removable arm exhaust stacks/blasters. He now has 3 stacks on each arm, just the way it should've been in the first place! : )

Finally, I added a new wrist mounted saw for his left arm, which can be attached to the orginal (very tiny) one.

The rest is my usual cartoon style, following the cartoon color scheme as close as the mold allowed, with cell shaded windshields in car mode, for a very retro look.
