WIP animated inferno

[purple-bot]

inspired by the Sick Kids Charity project.
i found this guy at tfcon for $10,
Batteries incuded!!!!!:D:D
his name is recuse roy from Tonka's 1-2-3 gobots line in 2000, i saw that Chansformers used a Charlie chopper from 123gobots as animated Blades, which was part of the Sick Kids Charity project Defensor

anyway
hes already very similar to inferno(in an animated way)
he had a siren sound and a horn, but then he said:
"transform me to robot mode"
"im rescue roy!!!"
"USE MY WATER CANNONS"
and "lets take to the sky"

somthing like that, but it drove me crazy so i cut out the speaker, he still has his headlights, and his flickering siren, and his light up eyes


so far all ive done is articulated the hips and neck,
i am going to redo his face but i want to keep the fireman hat in there a bit, i think it fits with animated.

more pics soon...

[encline]

[JLvatron]

[Buhawi]

if you have a second one, could you make it into a constructicon?

[purple-bot]

Update:
i came up with a basic idea of what i want the head to look like.
i had the idea of giving him a beard when i started him, i think it adds to him being a big old brute, as grumpy as ratchet, it also works with the fireman idea,
here is what i came up with,
hes not gonna have an autobot symbol on his head, i just wanted to try to make on in ms paint lol.

Nice head! :D

[Protoman]

You got an AMAZING idea going there PB

[plowking]

I think that'll work very well PB. As you said, it gives off that "old Brute" vibe.
