Hi All! This is my first customization project and I think it came out very nice so I wanted to share it with the community! He took quite a bit of time and tweaking to get the right look and to align his color scheme just right. I apologize for the small pic sizes...not sure how to get them bigger!

Metroplex: He is fully transformable without parts forming! With that being said it is just plain easier to take the arms and legs off to actually transform him just because of the nature of the construction and the strength of some of the parts. His legs went through 2 iterations with the first being slightly shorter and lacking the fold down "runway" (which was the hardest part to get right!). He has his trademark chest ramp and cavity, the fold-out helipad, and even the fold-up extra tower on his back! All in all he is fully G1-transformable. His rolling mode isn't as clean as I would like but with the scale it's ok. My only regret that I am sure everyone will notice is his missing red helmet cannons! There was no way to replicate this at this level without actually kit-bashing something. I wanted to keep him kit-bash free.



Scamper / Six Gun / Slammer: Scamper and Six Gun recreated as reasonably close to G1 as I could get. Slammer (the tank-thanks for the name noideaforaname!) I decided to give him a proper robot mode and make him "transformable" (treads simply flip around and legs bend). In doing this I removed his ability to become an extra tower on Metroplex himself. Add a few Reprolabel Autobot Insignias and done!

Very cool! Love how you made the whole gang, and that Metroplex and Slammer (the tank) are fully transformable. Scamper, Six-Gun, and Slammer look surprisingly nice with the plain chests (i.e. no "tech" decals or anything other than the ).


Kre-O really needs to get around to making a helmet with "pipe-ears" for bots like Metroplex, Ultra Magnus, Overlord, etc. There aren't really any options now that don't involve cutting or gluing.

Thanks for the tanks name! Couldn't think of it. I wanted to give Six-Gun a red vest but did not have one I liked, and Scamper has the car detailing on his back so he could actually transform by adding wheels to his hands and just laying him flat.

That's spectacular!

This has to be one of the greatest TF Lego builds ever. Especially because of the micro scale.
