Here's my version of what i think, or what i might want to see if they were to make the Stunticons appear on the 3rd movie. Using deluxe movie figures for the limbs and a voyager inferno for the main body, I wanted to maintain the deception look: insecti-like….. with claws and sharp teeth. I also made the custom Menasor slim, I always imagined him to be swift and quick. Also made the individual sports cars a very "street tuner" look, with all the logos and stripe paint jobs.

Heres Menasor

Stunticon Motormaster

Stunticon Dragstrip

Stunticon Deadend

Stunticon Breakdown

Stunticon Wildrider

Awesome! they all looks so good together

wish i could create a combiner as cool as this

Wild rider's my favourite, though i cant quite place the head you've used for him?

Very nice combiner.
And I believe he used the head from Protoform Starscream from '07.

not bad, clever use of the NBZ joints.

As many people make/draw Stunticons, you'd think HasTak would catch on and make new ones, or at least reissue them ala Piranacon

for wildrider, didnt swap any head, just used the ROTF swerve mold.

This literally looks like it jumped off of Mbays drawing boad..You nailed the movie verse feel 1000000%..What did you use for joints though? I read someone said NBZ joints but Im not familiar with those..Im actually working on a Menasor custom as well( thread is on the top somewhere) and I woudl love some advice on the combiner joints

or what to use for menasor's hands as well..Ive looked at tons of stuff but Im drawing a blank....

NBZ means NeoBlox Zoids, a line of super poseable model kits made by TakaraTomy a few years ago. I collect Zoids as well as Transformers, with NBZ being one of my favorite lines.

Woah, looks great!
Though, MotorMaster's head kinda sticks out, as does his blocky chest(but that's the mold's fault) but anyhow, you made a non movie figure fit into the movie look very well, and the Combiner's awesome as well!
Only thing is maybe Ratchet's head looks a little odd but oh well.
Not to mention the paint, which is flawless.
How can you even BE that good at painting? o_O

They all look splendid and amazingly well done but about the dark-red forearms on Menasor, what purpose do they serve when not in use.

And on a small note, i´d repaint Dragstrips nose, that red paint on the middle of his face reminds me too much of a clown, it doesnt look good on him. :-?

I was hinking about getting a Rapto Jaguar or an LB Gojulas - Which one is better? I really want a Goji because he's tall and has big guns.

I'm not personally much of a fan of Gojulas from a story perspective, but the NBZ(LZ as he's called) is a very solid kit. Between the two, Goji's the better armored and has the more impressive weaponry.
RaptoJaguar's the first of the Dinas NBZs and it shows. He has a very skeletal appearence and lite on both weaponry and armor, but his posability is nearly unmatched.

Like in all other fields, it comes down to choice. The RaptoJaguar holds a pose better, but Goji is the selection if you like the old look.

if you DO want the Gojulas, look for Gojulas MkII LBZ. He's called the Ogre for a reason.
