Description
This kitbash is my interpretation of female autobot leader Elita One. The alternate mode didn't look so great as the car shell parts don't really fit perfectly, but I really like how the bot mode came out.Related content

I just came across your pic of Alita kitbash. Very very cool and creative. I wish I could do that. Be very cool. Sure the car mode doesn't fit perfectly but considering how good she looks in robot, who cares. Have you done any more kitbashing of femme characters?
I was reading above of what other wrote and I agree the pink does seem a bit predictable. You gave just enough to keep to the character but away from it to make her interesting.

You know, this is one of the best Transformers kitbashes I've ever seen! Sure, it's not the Elita-1 I know from the show, but she's pretty darn cool, all the same. Perhaps this is how she ends up looking once she follows Optimus Prime to Earth after "The Search for Alpha Trion", and is subsequentally reformatted into a terranean vehicular transform by Teletran-01...? I'm glad you opted to steer away from the whole pink motif, as I've always found it predictable (not to mention tacky) for a female character to be rendered in this hue - talk about cliche! How did you construct her; is the piece modelled from original parts or alterations from pre-existing moulds? I'm particularly taken with the face. It is a shame that she doesn't quite transform as efficiently as one might hope, but I'm sure these minor shortcomings could be amended with a little further work. All in all, a fantastic achievement - keep up the great work!

Thanks for the comments Citizen-Cybertron, when I was making her I had the same thoughts about this being an earth version of the character, I actually wrote a profile for the character, you can read it here:

I used a plastic car shell and parts from avrious action figures, the legs and face are from a WildC.A.T.S. Void figure. I have plans on making an Alternators version of Elita, this figure will work as a prototype and help me to not do the same mistakes.

Very cool, and thanks for the link; I found it to be an entertaining and informative read. There seems to be a lot of great kitbashing going on out there in Cyberspace, huh? Perhaps I should give it a go myself some time... Anyway, good luck with your Alternators rendition of Elita-1; I hope it turns out as well as you envision it. And make sure you post images of it here at DA, as I would be very interested to see what you eventually come up with. Keep up the good work!

Thanks again, and don't worry it may take me some time but I'll surely post the pics here.
By the way, if you ever atempt to make a kitbash, we have a forum back at Transtopia if you need some help, or just if you want to see other peoples works, lots of 2d artists there too.
