I don't know how much it might affect the necessary arm transformations to jet mode, though.

Do you have sketches, models, or mockups that show how things connect together?

well you said it pretty much how i was figuring and I dont have the Brawl toy so I never really got to look but heres a link

the pics might be a little blurry but the idea is that either the arms fold together into a turret on a pivot, or the waist of the robot itself is also the turret joint. on a pivot but attached so the pelvic area has a hing on the back to fold. In which case the arms would cover the chest/torso and turn at the waist on a pivot and in jet mode you would put the arms straight outwards(T shape) and rotate it so one arm was pointing towards the front of the plane and the other arm would be pointing back and they would be parallel with the tank treads(legs) would fold similar to animated Blitzwing (but not as obvious)

I have an idea, but it has been made.. sorta.. my idea is to remake armada starscream sword to fit and work with deluxe classics/universe starscream. i made a wooden sword for my starscream just to see if i can get an idea.. and i did.. can anyone out there a customized sword for starscream ?

I'm just throwing this out here because I figure Hasbro or Takara won't do it anyways. I think somebody should create an Omega Supreme based around the new game War for Cybertron. That'd be a nice feat for sure.

More love for Beast Wars characters would be nice, similar to the Botcon versions of their Cybertronian forms.

Currently I am working on kitbash of Classic Hounds to create a classics Ironfist figure. I'm even making a new head for it out of scratch, and intend to make a hard top for the jeep mode. As for the lightformer cannon, I want to be more to scale with the figure itself, and might make it so that it can be pulled apart to make two seperate guns if need be.


I'm also painting a couple of spare seekers into Sunstrom and Thundercracker, and creating an original Autobot character whose body is Generations Thrust, but the head belongs to acid storm.

I would love to find a spare classics non-conehead seeker to repaint it as a War Within Seeker drone.

Finally, I am trying to buy a loose Cybertron Defense Red Alert so i can repaint it as Pyro from the Wreckers.

BTW, a Japanese Kitbashing site gave me the idea for Pyro and Ironfist.

My idea which I will never be able to do on my life, but take a PCC Skyhammer and modify it to be a WFC Starscream. Of course changes will be made like removal of the blue pegs and a new molded head, a joint in the wings to fold up and onto the back like the cgi renderings of him are. And once Starscream is done all the others can be made. the coneheads... are another story. I wonder what figure would make a good WFC Conehead seeker?

hello, i don´t know if it´s appropriate post this in this forum, any way i´ll be happy to reading your opinion about my work.
Optimus Prime hand-made and own design, made ​​with pieces of plastic, screws, parts of other toys, appliances, etc.. The head was accomplished using another head of a toy of Optimus.
My dream is to design Transformers toys for some toys corporation... is it impossible?.....
Sorry my English is not so good, i´m from Salta, Argentina. I´m so sorry if you don´t want my post here...

I saw a bike junkion custom combiner awhile back and it got me thinking...

How fun would a Wreckgar combiner using his animated altmode be? A public works combiner :p

The constructions would be a great base for it, though I doubt anyone would risk altering something as expensive as the Hercules stuff. Change the back of the Dump Truck into a Trash Truck, alter the scoop of the tracker into a Snow Plow, Remove the blade and add some brushes to turn the Bulldozer into a Street Sweeper, turn the boom of the Crane into a cherry picker, make it a utilities truck. The cement mixer barrel could be replaced with a sewage truck tank.

Just a random idea thats been stuck in my head, figured might as well toss it out there.

Well...Nobody would see them coming!

I've got quite a few repaints and at least one or two customs. I was going to post them for the creative roundup, but I can't seem to find an official answer of where to do that. You can view my work at http://www.hougesandwich.blogspot.com
