Glowing Autobot armrest!

[drake89]

Curse you, you beat me to the custom autobot grille idea!!!
I definitely want to see how it looks when you get your grille finished, would look awesome. You gonna hook it up so the symbol glows around the edge?

Im gonna get another one similar to the arm rest, but put inbetween the sun visors so that it illuminates when the door opens. Maybe this time blue and red led's so it's like the orignal cololur

I still have some transformer toys, i got the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime still in its box

Chris gave me 2 choices...

1) Badge made out of Perspex. (like urs) that can me illuminated.

2) 10mm Stainless Steel. Pitty is stainless isent transparent so illuminating it mighttttttttt not quite work.

I want it to look OEM cauz thats how transformers roll!

just get the 10mm Stainless Steel one with perxpex behind it have have it as outside glow . so you get the best of both worlds.

i think taht we can still iluminate the stainless grill to some effect. but once we start, then we can guage it all from there. i am 99% sure taht we can make it happen for you. in teh end, anything is possible

First of all happy birthday Spewman. Enjoy the original 80s series with the continual colour animation muck ups hehe. Get Beast Wars that was also good.

I think Blakey your idea will work if its a nice thin Glow for the night to outline the shape. But i also have to agree with Drake that a nice OEM finish would look best... bit hard to decide.

Its all in your hands Chris

[Blakey]

there is one problem with an OEM look.. its a autobots badge. but if you use 3mm leds and like 5mm perspex that way you barely see the perspex. and its still can be illuminated.

[drake89]

haha. ill be habby with just the plain 10mm.

i already have red grille LEDs so plain will do

[JazzyB]

plain - like u said u got illumination up front already and u wouldn't wanna get ur new autobots grill defected, stainless will look classy and will not have to be taken off if some cop's having a bad day

[drake89]

no i sed i wanted oem look. i dont want illumination cauz transformers dont illuminate theirs. lol

[JazzyB]

When u gettin ur arms and legs installed

Have to see if chris can hook u up, shouldn't be too much trouble

Could always jig something electric up to the doors, boot and bonnet.... auto opening or something.... not quite a transformer, but cool all the same!!

[Concord Customs]

automatic opening doors are definately a possibility.

we can a smoke screen to the back of your car so that you can keep infront of the rest....

scisoor doors would be a great feature

[mitch.honey]

i have seen scissor doors and they look pretty average aye
i am thinking shave handles and pop doors!!!!

[Teesh]

Can you make the doors make the transforming noise when they automatically open?

or can you make the optimus prime voice kick in and say 'autobots transform and roll out' when you turn the engine on? ....the novelty would wear of after 10 times then just get annoying hehe, but still is that possible?

[LZY_EYE]

I am sure there would be a way to do it!!! They can make toys that do that stuff, sure that you could make a car do it.....

Why don't you go back to Chris... I am sure he could find a way

[JazzyB]

why don't we stop wasting chris's time is more like it

lol - man I could go chris's job - seems interesting to say the least!
