Title: Introducing... Serpentor's HATE Chariot!
Post by: GOLD5 on July 21, 2009, 01:22:22 AM

I took Mike's statement that he couldn't figure out how to make the air chariot not suck for the convention box set to heart and I grabbed one of the free extra chariots from the door. I decided to make this one gold like what the original should have looked like since HASBRO decided not to give us the metallic flaked plastic from the originals. Same with Bluestreak the Transformer G1 remake, he has metal paint on the metal and then the plastic parts were just gray. Is this type of plastic not available anymore, or what? I am working on a Silver one next! Hey do you guys still have any of those extra air chariots left? I need more! I guess I could use some Cobra stickers too. And I need to touch up the grill. I fixed the rear engine intake where the original was recessed and in the 25th version the vent is specially remade to fit on the outside of the rim thereby looking stupid and making less room for ol' Serpy's foot.

really nice work. The recessed intake looks nice and clean. Great job.

That looks pretty decent.

That does look decent. But the vehicle still sucks. ;-)

Actually, about 2 days before the Convention, I (or Morg) had the thought that we should of gotten all those Chariots chromed in Gold as well!

Also, you have a PM.

I liked it but I didn't realize how much work you put into it until the side-by-side comparison. It may not be a very useful vehicle, but a little love here brings it to life.

Really nice work!  I love the attention to detail with the controls.

I like it. The snake face looks really happy in the second pic.  :wink:

I've been thinking of doing this with one of my spare chariots. Maybe this will be the kick in the butt I need. Great work!

Love the controls! Side-by-side shows what a great job you did with the "interior".
I like the old school black parts a little more than silver, but I love the metallic gold.
Great job.
