This is just a quick custom I worked up over the last week since I found out I wouldn't be able to attend.
I used the base robot from Silverbolt and grabbed some kibble from other bots and toys. Engine pieces do not transform as there is no way I could figure out how to attach and not overwhelm the chest. Threw in silver for the arms to break up the white and make paint repairs easier. Haven't painted the gun just yet, but will soon. Also gave him a drybrush treatment.
Cheating on the tank mode a little (classifying it as a hover tankIf you don't like it... it's my fiction, deal.) Kept the jet as a flat black to simulate stealth coloring.
Edit: BTW thanks for the suggestion to whoever put it in my head about separating the jet. I'm sorry I don't remember who you are.![]()
Now imagine this with a real budget. Sigh.

Though, I'd kinda like to see what it'd look like without the torso modified, since Fun Pub would have likely kept that unaltered, but that's just me.
How'd you make the two halves re-attachable?
Ah, okay. Just read "remolding" as "modifying" instead.Emperor Galvatron wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Not only did you go the extra mile of remolding the torso, but you also went and made the altmode split into to separate vehicles and STILL made it work!

No remolding was done. Used a E-Barricade foot for one side and a flat piece of plastic from the interior of the toy to use as a base for the guns. Engine pieces courtesy of a junker Rev and some space toy that I had parted out some years ago. Decepticon badge comes from a junked E-Sledge.
Jet halves use the clip that is present naturally and I ground down the posts for the screw on one end of the hinge to create a second clip. The post to attach the front end to the arm is just the sound and light button turned upside down internally so a large piece hangs from the bottom. Drilled a compatible hole in the arm to accomodate.

It’s all about the film and music industry wanting to stand up against file sharing and streamlining because they simply aren’t making the profits they used to. So they lobbied to politicians who deviated from the original vision and wrote a piece of legislation from a much broader spectrum in an effort to be politically correct. To them it sounds great on paper, but theoretically is impossible to enforce.
While that's part of it, the part that scares me is this: under SOPA, if you were to post a video of you singing to a song on Youtube, and then post that video here on Seibertron.com's open forums, and if someone reported it, my site gets removed by my host without any question and without any justice. I can face stiff fines and jail time for something you guys posted on my site. The worst part yet is that the initial complaint about the copyright violation doesn't even have to come from the owner of the intellectual property. ANYONE could make a complaint. Seibertron.com's server host would have to comply by blocking the domain within 7 days or else they could also be held liable. It's a **** up law that has NO place in our country.Rated X wrote:But if this piece of legislation gets passed, trust me those creeps at Hasbro will be the first ones to try to enforce it. People might not agree with me standing up for KOToys or comparing their “KO piracy” to the “online piracy” SOPA is trying to regulate. But it’s the same ideology that drives both forces. It’s about big corporations seeing dwindling profits in today’s dragging economy and making a statement by crying to law makers. It’s a last ditch effort to try and recoup lost profits. They have to pay for those Bentleys and bottles of Dom Pirignon they bought last year before their quarterly profit reports came in. I believe the only way a corporation can maintain a large profit margin is by staying innovative with today’s technology and the people that use it. If something doesn’t net the profit it used to bring in, come up with something better. People are not going go back to the 1990’s mentality and start buying CD’s and DVD’s again. The media companies need to stop living in the past. And the same goes for Hasbro. It’s time to stop worrying about who uses the Starscream mold that dates back to 2006. Get a new mold and move on. Corporations are not going to win by being a bunch of snitches and cry babies.
It's unfortunate to read what you wrote. Hasbro should have the right to protect their intellectual property. They should be worried about who is reproducing their old products. But I'm not here to argue that. Many of you have made it clear that you enjoy 3rd party products and I'm not going to waste my time debating the ethics or legalities of those products. I think it's very unfortunate that any of you think that any company has a right to make Transformers toys other than Hasbro, Takara Tomy, or companies that they license.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

This custom figure is AWESOME. Good job!
