Description
***Resubmitted after some revisions***A 'repaint' I did using the Instructions for Energon Towline that were included with the toy, that my friend ~SigmaCore scanned for me.
The next member of the “Gestalt Project” Protectobots, is First Aid here, the first (and I think ONLY) Transformer TRUE pacifist. Fortress Maximus and his group claimed to be, but they sure kept kicking Decepticon ass on Nebulon, so I think First Aid here is the only REAL one. Anyways, it was obvious which mold had to be used as First Aid, and the ONLY real Armada/Energon Deluxe that can be turned into an ambulance. I think I managed to do a pretty good job of turning a regular news van into an ambulance. My only problem with it, is the way the mold is designed, it’s near impossible to have the robot’s main color be the same main color of the vehicle. Makes it very hard to recolor it and turn it into a specific char. I think I did pretty good emulating First Aid’s vehicle colors, but his robot mode is quite a way off from the original. I still like it, and if you consider this an ‘updated’ version of First Aid, rather then just a straight homage, I think it works out ok. I have to admit though, I might have been able to come a little closer to the original’s colors, but I’m planning a Ratchet repaint of this mold too, and I wanted to keep as many differences between the two repaints as I could, so I just took this one for what it was, flaws and all.
While First aid here doesn’t have a Minicon like the Armada molds, I felt the need to name his Battle platform SOMETHING. Keeping in line with the Micromaster Theme, I decided to name the Battle platform his “Fixit Drone” and it’ll be his little automated helper drone. I obviously chose that name because that was the Micromaster ambulance, and I think it strangely fit the little tank…roller…drone…thing.

Ok, it might be me but the revisions you did are to subtle for me to see, but the only thing I think I see you modified was the grill on the front of the vehicle mode and maybe that black stripe behind the siren lights?

Heh, wrong on both accounts. Those were there in the original. I changed the background, i colored in all the "weapon hole ports" a dark, "shadowy" color, to show that they're holes...um...I lightened his spark crystal to make it further away from the color of the windows, and I colored the gears in the tank tread. I think that's all. Just minor stuff.

Cool. Like I said, subtle.
