Upgrades

My first real attempt attempt at customs so my painting skills definitely have some room to grow, but I'm pretty pleased with these guys. Elita-1 is definitely the favorite of mine and who knew she could still balance and one wheel! The "combo" mode isn't much to look at but it's the best I could find. Color wise I looked at both the actual bikes and a few repaints that are already out there.View the Custom Gallery Here

Okay, this is something that was really bugging me, that no one seemed to notice in any reviews, so I made my own fix. Now Rodimus can stand with his back straight! It's probably not the most ELEGANT fix, but I figured it was at least worth sharing; honk if you find it helpful. *Disclaimer*:In case you hadn't noticed; this tutorial is about permanently removing plastic from a piece of your Animated Rodimus. I take NO RESPONSIBILITY for any long term loss of functionality or damage that may result from your personal undertaking of this project. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. :tfevil

The base for this figure is the MARS Converter version of TF's, but they are made very well. I retooled the head and made him a gun as well as repainting and adding decals. the final touch was real dice on the rear view (was a pair of dice I got from a star wars game of some kind) I loved how this guy turned out. It also gave me the chance to try out my new photo tent set-up thanks View the Custom Gallery Here

I'm trying to repaint Hubcap to look like Prime from the second GI Joe Transformers crossover. Soon as I saw the mold I thought this may look cool. I have included an image of what I'm using as a reference and a pic of the first coat. What do you think so far?

Here's Galvatron done War for Cybertron style. He was made from a WFC Megatron body, but while many people use the head he comes with, I opted to swap it out with Drift's noggin instead. Classics Galvatron's crown was modded on top and I altered his waist plate, shoulders, and knees, as well as removing those weird foot-flaps. His cannon came from an Energon Megatron and Galvatron was given a G1 paint scheme to complete the look. View the Custom Gallery Here

When I made Warpath a few weeks ago, the idea of Guzzle instantly came to mind.
