Care to share some pics? I have a TFA voyager Starscream as well, and I can't wait to try out the EMP charger thing!


What you need to do is to slide the null rays foward. The "EMP charger" will then deploy. He have this gimmick on both arms.

Once again, after years of owning this toy, I only discovered this feature using a scrap voyager Animated Screamers to build THIS CUSTOM.


Thanks for the pic! Tried it out and he looks absolutely awesome!

BTW, that Pyroflash custom is probably the best re-purposing of a 2007 voyager Starscream toy I've ever seen.

You are an absolute evil genius, Kanrabat! I don't know how you come up with these ideas.


Thanks! Still, the 2007 voyager Movie Starscream mold is easy to customise because the arms and legs are somewhat completely separated from the jet mode, whithout being overly ridiculous like Universe Sliverbolt. Change the arms and legs with anything! The possibilites are endless. Pyroflash is my last custom using this mold. It's also the best and my favorite. Maybe because this time, I chose legs and arms that actually come from planeforemers did help.

Next, I'll do the Brother's mom. **** will be crazy I tell you!

Brother's mom? Dude, you are such a tease! Keep me posted, dammit! :D

Seriously, it's a real pleasure looking at your work. I never know what to expect. I still remember that custom you did with the doll that transforms into a spider. That one was unique and awesome beyond words. :BOWDOWN:

She will take some time to build, mostly because she will not be based on any precise TF body. I'm still figuring out the specifics and how the hell I will make my ideas work. Still, I'm confident and once the scorching heatwave will end, I'll build her.

She will be horrible and sexy at the same time. 8)

BTW, heatwave? I admit I don't know that much about Canada, but I thought the climate there's pretty chilly.

Just realised, and probably quite late to the party, that FoC Shockwave's er.. ship.. mode shares some design similarities with Animated Lockdown's own vessel, the Death's Head! :D

Just got my new Transformers: Cybertron Snarl in the mail.

He's pretty cool, but he can also do something pretty damn amusing.

The instructions tell you to detach the tail during transformation to be used as a gun in robot mode, but you can technically complete the transformation without detaching it. And, if you do leave the tail on, you get something like this:

As do his fellow scramble city main bots hot spot, motor master and Onslaught. The scramble city limbs (*deep breath* Slingshot, fireflight, air raid, groove, streetwise, first aid, blades, dead end, wildrider, breakdown, dragstrip, brawl, vortex, blast off and swindle...I can't remember the other aerialbot -_-) can be combined with g1 Metroplex.

You can actually transform Armada Generations Starscream like the original by bending the elbows rather than folding thee arms into the wings. There's a gap in the wings but it's miniscule.

I recently sold a Cybertron Snarl through the Seibertron.com store. Did you purchase it from me?

Well I feel like an idiot. Despite owning probably over a dozen or more different versions of the Masterpiece Starscream / Seeker mold, I just discovered after 8 years that there is a tab in the upper wing that plugs into his upper backside shoulder area. Doh! I can't tell you how many times I've had to transform these guys over the last 8 years for their own galleries and then again for comparison shots. I can't believe I never noticed that. I only accidentally discovered it somehow on Hasbro's new Sunstorm and thought "wow, that was nice of them to modify the mold to do that." and then I realized that all of them have that. Problem solved with wings flopping backwards on the Masterpiece Seekers!

I thought those were pretty obvious. it's black things on hinges that move for a purpose and I noticed the slots right away. I transformed my old MP-03 and MP-03G several times and MP-11 have it too. I tought itr was pretty clever of them to hide those tabs this way for the perfect jet mode. However, they are nail-breaking hard to move.

Jeez... How long since I have my Armada Unicron? For how long did I have my Amazon Unicron? I even had Unicron 2010 for a few weeks as I was middlemanning him.

I never, ever noticed this until I took appart a spare Unicron leg for a custom I'm presently building.
The front of his lower legs can open to store some minicon or microbot.
That big mofo is still full of surprises!

Same thing happened to me when I got the new mold Thundercracker. I then went and posted it in this thread.

Do any of you have Thundertron and hate his weapon? Because I do. I found this amazing idea of what you can do with Thundertron with the parts given and how you can turn his foot weapon into an appropraite micron.

This is where I learnt it

Pretty much, you can get Thundertron to look like this:

Finally got myself a WFC Megatron and realized that, if you mistransform him in just such a way, he has the same arm-splitting gimmick as Optimus Minor:
