Post subject:  Ghost - Transformer
Some of you know that the car I drive is a dark blue Pontiac Solstice, so of course I was excited when I found out that Jazz's car mode would be one in the movie. My car is not the GXP, but the small subtle differences didn't bother me. Let me know what you think!!

I did the following work to the Transformer:
- I made the trunk/top one section instead of having the division, and I removed the rear spoiler and filled the gaps. Doing this made it unable to give him his "shield"
- I filled in the extra gas lid on the passenger side (there was one on each side, don't know why).
- I removed some disc looking objects from the sides of his feet. I'm not sure what they were and they looked terrible in car mode.
- I exchanged the head with a BAAT (1993) from the GI Joe Star Brigade line.
- I changed the function of the "telescoping sword" to a shoulder mounted laser cannon.
For some images to compare the work, check out this site:

Of all the Ghost customs left to be done this one really surprised me. Way to think way, WAY outside the box on this. On top of a great idea you follwed through with smooth stylized execution. Fan-freaking-tastic job!

Really cool idea - and beautifully executed. The head really drives it home.

You're just going all out to come up with new Ghost ideas aren't you. It's like you're a multiverse unto yourself.

That being said, very nice capturing of the Ghost look on a Transformer. Bravo.

Owning a Solstice made this one just fall together.

I painted all the parts with Krylon Camo Black spray paint, then taped up the windows and wheels and transformed it into car mode. Once in car mode, I spray painted the car blue and let it dry.

Once dry, I painted the details and took the pics in car mode. Then, I transformed it into robot mode, brush painted any overspray, and I was finished.

I don't plan on transforming him a lot, but if I do, the black is easier to touch up :)

Thanks guys!!

Where is the other twin, does he get to be a TF as well?

Holy crap is that sweet! The fact that it's your actual car seals the deal!

Very nice.

That is one of the coolest ideas I think you've had in terms of all the Ghost customs. Execution is flawless. Great job. Now if only I could a TF of a 02 Explorer Sport I'd be set.

The BAAT head works perfectly, definately one of the best Ghosts yet.

Sweet, sweet, sweet. Love the paint job, love the Head choice, love the whole darn thing. I'd buy one if they came this way. I think it would be cool with the Decepticon Cobra symbol on the hood.

I agree with narceron, you have to to a 'Mayor' Transformer...

...if you don't you will mess up the space/time continuium because the universe is unbalanced from too many Ghost customs.

Like the great Sith quote: "Always Two"

Well, you made that piece of crap Jazz toy look a liiiiiittle better... but still not good enough for me to consider buying it even like that.
Clever choice on the head.
