This custom is a major pain in the butt, but real challenging and fun. So here's my digital conceptual rendering for her.
...to begin with, I took all the masculine looking features off, trimmed the legs and arms, and dremeled the hell out of the thighs and chest. I needed a better head than protoform optimus's, it wasn't gonna work, so I bought the Target exclusive arcee, hoping to use the G1 styled head. After popping it on, i discovered, it was wayyy to tiny. she looked funny. So I went out this morning, and grabbed the regular deluxe Arcee. The head fit perfectly! not only that, I was able to use many of the peices from both the Target and the deluxe arcees. Right now, she's all being glue'd/epoxy'd together and drying.
I was able to hit up the hobby shop, got some real nice colors for her, including a metallic pink and irredecent/pearl white. I have (so far) 4 different weapons for her. And her alt mode (the comet looking thing...) is gonna have motorcycle wheels hinting out from the bottom.
above is the head that fit perfectly, ball joint and all!
