Retalliation Bike tweaks

Post by nighthawk »

So, I managed to pick up the Iron Man motorcycle that the Ninja Speed Cycle was based on. I swapped the headlights on and the wheels as the Joe one looked really toyish with the red wheels. Removed the side pegs and now Snake Eyes has (what I think) a pretty cool ride. Don't mind the grey gloves on Snake Eyes. Just don't have any black ones right now that can grip the bars. Snake Eyes' neck joint was modified so he can look up more.

Without the pegs on the side, the figure's legs can touch the foot pedals really well and naturally looking.

So, I thought this would be a good bike for my Amazon Duke. Since it's Duke's bike now, there should be no Arashikage logos so I removed all three of them. I also removed the peg that goes into the figure's leg to hold him in place.

Here's Duke originally on it without his vest and neck joint not modified.

I managed to mod his neck joint a bit more so he can look up more even with his vest on. The pouches on the front keep him from being all the way forward. Oh well.

I just modified Duke's head a bit more so he can look more up and also look more natural doing it. I basically drilled another hole in his head so there's one hole the the peg goes into for the looking up position, but the original hole is still there for his looking forward normally position. I also managed to put him on the bike now with his knee pads.

If only I had a second of that Iron Man bike, then I'd convert the missile to headlights on the Flint bike too.

So as to not waste the donor vehicle, I decided to put a Ninja Viper on it.

Shouldn't that be in the Cobra forum? :)

Nice work, I reckon that, the green one would make a sweet ride for that new version of :quarrel: .

Haha, yeah, but I didn't want to start a new thread for that bike. Heck, I might change it to Red Shadows later on, cause I have another figure I can use on it maybe.

Think the Retalliation WV1 SE fits better on the bike than my Target rescue pack one. Just snapped a few pics for fun.
