Some decent size pics would help us see what needs criticism! It looks good but the pics are just too small to really see

Dude, these pics are still too small. In fact, mostly they're the same size is what you posted. If you don't have a decent camera of your own I recommend borrowing one. You need decent size/quality pics to show off your work! Size DOES matter!

I love the zoom function that most browsers have these days.

Dude, I gotta say, I absoloutely LOVE IT!

For starters, it's so nice to see someone take a G1 junker and give it a makeover. Most 'bashes these days are just based on the latest figures. Rarely do we see a G1 figure. For that, I applaud you.

Secondly, adding the lights? While i'm not a fan of lights and sounds in TF's, ADDING it to a G1 figure, which are essentially bricks, is bloody brilliant.

Well done dude!

"bloody brilliant"
can i say that this is the best compliament i ever got ?
thx for the kind words ,it really made me happy,cause as u i like to see more of the G1 bashes then the new lines.mostly i do only g1 bashing ,they were my toys as a kid and i have a soft spot for them.
adding the lights and sound was just a trial ,but it do love taking old stuff and bringing them some tech.
i have done it with my horribull headmaster bash a while ago.

and again tnx for support

I always felt there was a lot of potential in G1 figures. To me they're great for beginners as most of them are easy to disassemble. Then there's the prospect of adding articulation. And of course, you can often pick 'em a junker on e-bay cheaply as opposed to shelling out a lot of money on recent figures.

Yeah, i'm a tight-arse.

tight arse or not
i saw your work and i love the details i love the bio's
cool stuff


i have done some energon and cybertron figs as well but for me the g1 toys were where i got caught so there i'll stay.
and about the movie figs .... lets not go there

I looked at half of the pics (robot mode and truck mode) and couldn't find anything bigger than 3 inches!

Anyway, I like the hands but is there any way of disguising the wires in his chest?
