Nightracer

 

 

 

Nightracer is a Botcon exclusive and is a recolored Bumbleebee/HighBeam from Generation 2.  I don't know if they didn't have the rights to the orignial template for the G2 figures at the time, but the original Tech Spec of Nightracer is pretty ugly, with an unforgivably long, redundant bio.  I have truncated it here although I was tempted to rewrite it.  I spent a surprisingly long amount of time trying to get the stat boxes edited.  The actual picture is slightly recolored from High Beam, and it is the closest approximation I could get since the picture on the original Tech is very small, and I have not seem a close up of the toy.  I managed to find the actual font used for Tech Specs (microgamma) but only the bold version, so I only used it for the name, function, and saying.  Again if you can find Microgamma narrow or regular, please e-mail me.

*Update 9-20 - I found out that this tech was done by Raksha without the help of Photoshop or any other sophisticated image editing tools, especially compared to what is out today.  I apologize for making fun of the quality since alot more work and thought was put into this tech than I cared to find out about at first.
