Holy crab cakes!

That's beyond words. What did you use for that and how soon can you ship that Cyclonus off to me?

But it'll be better if the nosecone portion is sleeker...

What mold is this custom based off? Great work though he looks sweet in alt mode, bot mode is a little clunky looking though but still nice.

Nice job there. Looks like what you'd imagine, and the paint is factory fresh!
Just love it.

One of the best I have seen. How did you add the head horn parts? I've often looked at that mold and thought "if only..."

by **zemper** » Sat Oct 13, 2007 6:18 pm

i never thought Storm Jet could amount to anything, but after seeing this mod, i'm compelled to look for one...impressive. any idea on what scale is Energon Storm Jet? deluxe or voyager? thanks!

Yes, it's from E. Jetstorm

One of the best I have seen. How did you add the head horn parts? I've often looked at that mold and thought "if only..."

The head is just made from the original head of E. Stormjet. I had to shave down the sides of the helmut to make it look more pointy and then add the "ears". Ears I had to make it so it can flip down in order for the head to fit into the slot in jet mode. Ears are just to pieces of styrene (shaved/sanded to shape) with a brass rod running through the head connecting the two pieces.

E. Jetstorm is a deluxe. You can see in one of the pics he is standing next to Classics Skywarp. He's a bit bigger than most deluxe sized figures.

For those interested. Here are bigger pics for detail.

Great work! I love the head sculpt.

by **zemper** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 5:37 am

i thought that he was a voyager, standing so tall next to Skywarp...

anyway, very nice paintjob. you really got the colors of Cyclonus down pat.

That's absolutely inspired, both Cyke and Nightstick. Brilliant idea, and brilliant fig! :grin:

Amazing work! I don't even remember Stormjet, so I probably saw him and brushed him off as useless, but you didn't! A stroke of genius sir!

Yah, it's been a while since I've done anything. Just getting back at it slowly. Hope to get back working on TWW Shockwave soon.
