Description
Years ago, I got a spare Energon Tow-Line with a broken weapon as part of a trade lot. I set it aside in my kitbashing area with the intent of making it into the A-Team van. And there it sat, gathering dust, for years. I finally got around to this project, dyeing much of the toy black so that seams wouldn't be obvious (the original toy has a lot of bright blue) and painting it in gloss black, gloss signal red and silver chrome. I did try painting a spare Energon Hot Shot gun clear red to give B.A., but wasn't happy with the results.

Anyway, this is a Crossovers Transformer, B.A. Baracus turning into a newer model van than the old Vandura. The Vandura had dark metallic gray above the red stripe, but I decided I preferred the looks of all black and red.

Finally, there's a Customized Toys category for dA. Some time when I have a few hours where I don't feel like doing anything else, I can go back and fix all the categories on my other kitbashes.
