Here's Blackjack, a Decepticon that's really ahead of his time. Or is that behind the times? Blackjack's alt mode is based on one of those old mobster cars, the original figure was an Autobot Hubcap. I changed his hands so they could hold weapons, removed the lower pipes, outfitted him with a new head from a Microman Jet-Mogler, and added bullet holes all over the left side of the car. He was given a grayscale type paint job as a nod to the era and now looks like he belongs in a classic black and white crime movie!

How'd you do the bulletholes without drilling straight through the plastic? It's not exactly thick stuff, as I recall.

Very, very, very carefully. I have a Dremel Stylus and I used the lowest RPM setting with my drillbit

KOtoys.com has die-cast versions of him. Yeah, he needs a deluxe or even voyager class
