Maybe more than you want to know but...
If you can get someone to make CAD rendering of design you want, it can be output in 3-D plastic on a PRINTER. I have heard of people doing this to make models of their gaming avatars... No idea how much it costs for a one-off, but the technology is cool... Here link to one companies machine http://www.zcorp.com/ |

If you can sculpt, cast or rapid prototype your Autobot emblem in plastic, you can take it to certain jewelers (call around) to have it electroplated in your favorite metal. If you want chrome and can't find a jeweler to electroplate a chrome finish, then ask body shops where they send things to get chromed... or see if they'll handle it for you.
This just occurred to me, because I was chatting with a jeweler about how someone brought in a pistol's slide and lower receiver to be custom nickel-plated and engraved. So why not car badges? |

There's a chrome paint out there now, I have some and it actually works. You paint the part gloss black first, then apply the chrome spray. Thats it!

I is going to set you back, but maybe an outfit like this could make you an emblem that you could epoxy on?

If you draw it up on autoCAD, you can save it as a DWF file and bring it into a CNC shop and they can cut it out for you in no time what so ever..

or, have them cut out the reverse and then send it to a molder and have them plastic injection molded and finished in chrome. You are look at about $5g's to set it up, but you could end up making $25g's selling them... and that my friends is a GREAT ROI!! (return on investment) You won't get that playing the stock market...

BTW, I wanted to say that I'm very impressed at the amount of feedback on this thread, and the many interesting, creative ideas regarding how to build a custom emblem. Nice going, YW'ers!
