So, I should mention that I've begun the first steps in working on the physical Animooted Hilltopper (AKA: The "Kitty Truck"). I've taken a spare Voyager Class Optimus Prime figure and have Dremeled off the actual 'light' portions of the lightbar.
As you could see in the previous digibashes, I planned on removing them from the get-go, and I'm rather happy with the results so far. Next up is figuring out what to use for the smokestacks (and how to mount them), then I will ponder how to go about doing the paintjob. (Do I dye the blue plastic black and paint the orange, or paint the whole damned thing?).
Best of all, due to the recent aquisition of ANOTHER Voyager Prime via a little trade through Seibertron.com; I have another Prime to use to either:
1)Make one for my mother (who *loves* the previous G1 Hilltopper).
or
2)Use in case I accidentally screw up the first one!
