I recently had an Idea for a potential modding/kitbashing project, because I'm a loser who loves to sperg about giant robots and making things because I am a loser and I've lost control of my life.
The next wave of Transformers figures being released is an entire sub-line of Headmasters (robots with heads that turn into smaller robots that can drive the larger ones).
After finding this out, I'm kinda tempted to mod one into Son-Chu with a tiny Chris as the pilot. Considering Son-Chu's design is just a ripoff of another figure to begin with it shouldn't be too hard. Then again I don't see any SUV/Mini vans in that line yet, so I'd probably need to find some crazy way to add the head to another figure if I wanted to do that.
A lot of Transformers figures have this fake car grill That goes on their chest instead of using the actual vehicle grill so Son-chu's physically impossible yellow chest could be pulled off with no problems whatsoever. The weird skateboard shield thing he's got going on would have to be a completely separate bit though. What confuses me is how he's got like a faceplate that also sometimes has a mouth on it. I'm guessing the best way to go about pulling that off in a way that looks good is a translucent yellow faceplate.
If anything ever comes out of this Idea I'll post pics in the fan art thread. If I do it it probably won't have the headmaster unless there's an accurate vehicle by then.
EDIT: Shit I forgot about Son-Chu Mk: II! That one's far easier, but I'll try it after this one.
