non-binding kitbash question

Okay guys....here it is.

I plan to make a G2 Ramjet from a "Classics" Ramjet. Obviously, this will require a certain amount of painting. But, I am torn about which head to use. Should I go with a straight recolor of "Classics" Ramjet in G2 colors? Or, should I got the extra mile and use a regular Decepticon head, and mimic the G2 card-art? (That depicted the toy as being "correctly" transformed with the nose-cose folded down towards the back, rather than up as it was in the cartoon.)

(Edit: I voted to reflect the opinion of somebody I asked. It is not my firm stance.)

While the regular flavour head would be neat in a sense, definitely a straight repaint in G2 colours. The conehead wins by far.

[Dominic]

Any particlular reason you are favoring making it a straight recolor?

Yes.

G2 is possibly my favorite TF story.

I know Ramjet had the cone-head in the comic. But, he was also white, as in G1. The G2 toy was purple, and depicted with the head-cone down.

Dom
-torn on this....

That's why the original Seeker design ruled.

[Dominic]

Because it was awkward in either form?

Gom
-has two, attached to his mint G1 Thrust.

The way I see it, if he's not a conehead, he's not Ramjet. He's just some seeker in indescribably cool colors.

So, yeah, pointy.
