After many customs, notably these:
Spaceship OptimusApetimus Supreme,
Pyroflash, and
Rustbucket.
Here's one that I'm very proud of.

Remember
Mother, Cybertronian Matron? She gave birth to her son. The son, uppon birth, had only one idea in head. To grow more powerful by eating some sparks. So, he turn on his closest victim, his mom. Alien 4 style. Fortunately for Mother, Apetimus Supreme managed to chase the newborn away, but not before some serious damage occured. Mother survived, but man, is she pissed! She got out of her body armor and she plan to fix her horrible mistake.
Thank you SKYWARPED_128 for this amazing picture!The son manage to kill and eat many unfortunate transformers on Cybertron. He grew, and grew, and became extremely powerful... Until he was beaten by Megatron. Megatron, seeing a stupid but dangerously strong monster, decided to use him as a living weapon against the Autobots. Using some sweet talk, he convinced the easely impressionable "baby" to work for the Decepticons. Megatron even gave him his name:
SPARKEATER Sparkeater did many missions and ate many sparks. Once he reached his maximum size, about as big as Omega Supreme or Trypticon, his growth stopped... However, the many sparks Sparkeater ate are still within him, alive, and they want to return to the All-Spark. This, combined with Sparkeater's unusual body could unleash something far more dangerous and horrible than mere size and stregnth.

Starscream noticed it and he'll be sure to use that to his adventage.
(Expect some "Akira" finale to that story!)

Okay, enough bad fanfics and on to the custom!
First of all, here's the MASSIVE vehicle mode. A cybertronian "Monster Tank":
Here's how he scale with G1 Optimus Prime:
And now, a simple, almost Gobots-like transformation:
Finally, Sparkeater in all his robot mode glory!
Once again, how he scale with G1 Optimus Prime:
Some close-ups:
The very expensive blue paint peeled off in many places when I removed the masking tape after painting the final tan color. Instead of raging, I was happy it gave an awesome battle-damaged look.
Sparkeater's eyes light with a switch under the back of his head:
By the way...
Sparkeater eat the sparks of his ennemies...
And the sparks are his...
...FOREVER!
So, what did you guys think? Personally, I find this my best creation to date. I'll come up with another crazy custom next time some idea come by.
