Ok. After subjecting you all to the torture of my 1.1 Megapixel camera's horrible close-up abilities, I finally borrowed mom's camera and took some spiffy new CLEAR pics!

 

First up, Alt Jazz:

 

 

 

 

(ok.. so a couple of these were a little blurry. I was still learning the ins and outs of the camera. :))

Next, my Energon Prime kitbash (still haven't done the new arms, though)

 

 

Sweet man. Jazz is starting to look good to me.

 

Prime and Arcee, looks good too.

Next, Energon Arcee. Note the replacement of her chest pipe with a snazzy clear bubble, and her original weapons have been swapped for the missile launchers from my two Energon Downshifts. :D

 

Next: Energon Wheeljack (yeah, yeah.. I know his name. Bite me. :D)

He now has Arcee's weapons in addition to the rifles from both of my Downshifts.

 

 

And his alt-mode now BRISTLES with firepower! :mwahaha

 

My biggest, most involved project: Beast Machines Arcee (inspired by BotCon Arcee)!

 

 

Also, since BM Arcee is an Autobot, I needed an Autobot Spark crystal. Turns out TFU Blackarachnia's Decepticon Spark is perfectly interchangable with TFU Silverbolt's Autobot Spark! And, his colors look more Decepticon-ish, anyway. Behold:

 

Those look amazing Dark Lord Prime. I wonder if Hasbro/Takara's taking notes. If not they need to be.

One of my smaller 'bashes.. Megatron no longer needs that stupid tank in order to wield his sword!

After my Energon Prime 'bash, I had the torso of Bendy Prime left over. I took the smokestacks from one arm, cut 'em apart and sanded 'em down slightly (so they'd fit in either Megatron's hand without getting stuck). Then I melted holes in the bottoms of the swords and glued the new handles into them.

 

My other current 'bash (alongside BM Arcee) is Energon Shockblast. I'm planning to give him two normal arms, and I'm turning the shock-cannon into a sleeve, sort of like Energon Prime's drones.

My second Shockblast is on the way from walmart.com, so I should be able to at least finish his left arm soon.

 

 

for the cannon, so far, I've cut the battery compartment out and enlarged the hole in the end that used to snap onto his factory-made shoulder. I still haven't figure out how to remove the barrel-tip, as it's glued in place, and if I don't do it right, I'm gonna end up snapping things I don't want snapped.

 

'k.. these last two aren't really kitbashes. Dino King (formerly known as Mega Dinobot) is only slightly customized: cleaned up his kibble by folding Swoop's arms up into Grim's back, and gave him the swords from a really bad Blast Punch Primal KO from Big Lots. (and those swords were the best part of that KO, lemme tell ya...)

 

 

 

And, finally, we have Alt Tracks, to whom I've done the "windshield mod":
