I figured that he needed an upgrade after what happened to him in Sins of the Wreckers...

Not completed...yet. I would like to thank the good people at Shapeways for making this possible, especially the designer "Steam Shield's Bot Foundry" for taking the time to create it. The insert fits perfectly. More customizing to come...

I dyed the thighs blue to match the torso and touched up the red paint to make it more vibrant. I call him Scramble when not in combined form.

As a child I always wanted a transforming version of actionmaster Rollout. Thanks to Shapeways and RIT Synthetic dye I now have one. I just have to get a hold of a Titanmaster Ramhorn and it will be complete. Enjoy!

I can actually take him seriously now...

I'm glad I waited to order the BBTS version of Ginrai. I like the colors and feel that Godbomber will look even better with that version of prime at his side.

One of my personal favorites. Hoist is a solid figure and I'm thinking about making him a headmaster. I dyed the thighs to match the other blue parts. I will be painting the orange circles back on his knees and tightening his joints soon in hopes of having him ready to take on Siege on Cybertron Tidal Wave when he arrives this month.

I've never been a fan of the Titans Return Getaway figure so I decided to dye the legs and upper arms navy blue to match his hips. I had an extra Quake figure and thought that the face kind of resembled the Wal-Mart exclusive repaint of Cybertron Hotshot. I think the name Breakaway suits him now.

I used to like Generations Scoop until I stood him next to Titans Return Topspin and Broadside; he's way to small especially for a character that is supposed to turn into a construction vehicle. I once again ordered an adapter from Shapeways that would let me put Scoops noggin' on Transformers Prime Sargeant Kups body. I am going to dye the truck black and have the robot mode be predominately blue and white. I was going to call him Stakeout but the head doesn't fit the character. I thought Nightwatch sounded cool.

I sold off a lot of my Unicorn Trilogy Transformers. I always thought that Cybertron Metroplex was a decent figure and could serve another purpose. I have plans for him. A character lost in time and space in a new world of much larger Titans serving a universal sentence.

I gutted the figure getting rid of the the spinning head gimmick and installed a post for the head. I then dyed the head gray to match the shoulders and replaced the winch hook. All in all I think it came out okay...

If you've lost faith in Shapeways, it might not hurt to take another look. Checkout Steamshield on Shapeways for more incredible designs like this one.

I'm too poor to afford the exclusive lol

I never cared for the green tow truck version of the character. I like the armada version better because he was an original mold and no longer a remold of Trailbreaker. I dyed the legs machine blue and repainted the orange circles to match the orange on his helmet. Let me know what you think.

What if Dion became Ultra Magnus? I imagine Magnum to be a rebel who still believes in the Autobot cause but hates its' figureheads. He has a personal vendetta against Alpha Trion for leaving him for dead. He travels with Longarm, Skram, and Breaker. I dyed the head and legs royal blue, and painted the face silver. Let me know what you think...

It just happened...

Is it in poor taste to make Stakeout a tank?

I like Generations Tankor; the mold, not the character. I always thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if a vehicon droid went rogue. Which leads us to this custom. I dyed the head (Armada Hoist) dark gray to match the gray on the body and dyed the legs to match the blue on the chest and shoulders. This character is based on the movie Longarm and is one of Magnum's most dedicated soldiers.

This works surprisingly well...

I've always felt bad for Tomahawk as he is one of the few Transformers that has a G1 head with a Bayverse body. I also hate the name Tomahawk, so I renamed him Nightwatch. I dyed his legs and torso dark blue and touched up the black paint on his head and legs. I think it came out okay. I replaced Mindset's head with GDO Wheelie's. I know it looks crazy, but that is what I was going for. He's a walking ball of irony. More to come...

I've wanted to update this character for a while now. He's a military grade crowd control tank. The head "whiny Hauler" was designed by Steamshield, he customized it just for this occasion.

Anyone have a tfcc 2014 Treadshot they are looking to sell? I want to make this figure more official. Let me know. Thank you.

I've been trying to find a decent Bluestreak to display on my CHUG shelf. The universe mold seems a little dated when compared to the combiner wars figures and getting a hold of the tfcc version is pretty pricey. I used the head of an extra combiner wars Smokescreen I had and dyed it Barricade blue. I also dyed the figures legs and biceps the same color while adding some black. It looks like it could be Prowl but it's Bluestreak. Let me know what you think...

Sold on Ebay.

If you're looking for a story about the comings and goings of the Wreckers you go to Dipstick, if you're looking for a story that spans whole galaxies you go to Kup but if you're looking for a coming of age tale, or something else entirely, feel free to bother Ratchet. If you're ever in Maccadam's OIl Pub and if he has the time, you might want to ask Ratchet about his time with the Mechtech's at the end of the world. I guarantee Kup and Dipstick have nothing on this story...

Sold on Ebay.

As I dream of Ratchet's eventual Hasbro release...

Sold on Ebay.

I dyed his thighs to match his helmet...
