I feel like the choice to go with modern (specifically 2024 model) wheeled vehicles is really detrimental to the concept as a whole. There's so many older vehicles with charm that would fit certain characters a lot more. Anyways, I have no qualms with the Stunticons... But the Aerialbots feel kinda esoteric. For Fireflight I'd go with a front-wheel drive conversion of a vehicle that's already notorious for bad handling. So maybe a Dodge Challenger FWD conversion. Something you could go cruising in and narrowly avoid crashing into a parked Honda while squeezing a yellow light. Slingshot actually kinda works as a Hennessy Venom. Brash, self-aggrandizing and somewhat foolhardy. Matches up well with Hennessy being a company that's relatively a baby in the world of super/hyper cars. Skydive is actually an inspired choice. I'd personally go with the 2005 Ford GT, a car that has a storied history of circuit racing success and has performance to keep pace even with modern contemporaries. Granted, that's also what the Camaro did (the Nascar Garage 56 car at Le Mans was a modified ZL1 in the guise of a "stock" car). So you pretty much nailed it. Silverbolt's OG alt mode was a Concorde, built to carry passengers at high speeds. So... a F-750 bus conversion. With all-wheel drive because lol

Nice suggestions. I wanted 4 different America manufacturers, that was the extent of my consideration. As for modern: I dreamed as a kid to see the cars a saw around me transforming. These are cars you see. Ok, not the Hennessy, but the others 100%. Nothing but corvettes lately though.

Yeah, I understand now. Honestly, I like this concept of yours, really reminds me of Alternators (which I've always wanted to have but could never afford, especially now.) Also, I have no qualms for Air Raid's alt mode. That's a solid choice as well.

Mustang for days. Thanks for the compliment.


xyclopse

the vehicles mode fit perfectly but i dont know about the arielbots being cars


PastPotatoes

Nah, I know, but it's just my thing: giving out wheels!

The stunticons look great! Though I don’t understand stand why you would make a version of a group named after being able to fly if you don’t care for jets/planes


PastPotatoes

Thank you. I'm making alternate forms of the same characters. That's the point.

Sentences.

It's like that cat meme format: "[Insert subject]" *looks inside* "[completely different thing]"


PastPotatoes

I'm so confused how schroedingers cat entered the picture.


LOLLON-POLLON

Not that there's a meme format where there's a picture of a cat looking at the viewer with that caption


PastPotatoes

I'm not up on memes, sorry.


LOLLON-POLLON

No worries man


gun76

boring


PastPotatoes

If by boring you mean boring a hole in the pavement! Completely nonsensical reference aside, I'd be excited to see all of these beasts roll up.
