I posted the first few before, but I'd like to make a single thread for all my kitbashed Kreons:

Mindwipe

Senator Ratbat

Brawn (you can't see it from here, but he has a tire on his back)

Whirl, who really needs some off white-blue parts...

Sandstorm (and Prowl for some reason)

Ransack the Insecticon

Blitzwing, who's got a more appropriate helmet coming

G2 Grimlock

Astrotrain (needs some work still)

Devcon the Cloverfield-looking Decepticon from DotM

based on DotM concept art of a Mi-24 "Hind" Transformer, and purposely echoing Devcon above

Shrapnel

Hot Rod/imus Prime

Needlenose

Yes! Thank you!

You should just make a thread for each of your comedy genius products: one for artwork (check), one for Kreons (check) and one for photos (MISSING).

You just want to see that "pushing down the stairs" picture again, don't you? :lol:

I'll be more than happy to oblige when I get a chance.

Guilty as charged.

WIP Junkion, I'm quite fond of the muffler beating stick!

Original Insecticon somewhat inspired by a cockroach and praying mantis

I figure his name should follow the 'cannon fire' imagery of Kickback, Bombshell, and Shrapnel.

I'd love to see Junkion and Insecticon sets that are just a bunch of random parts cast in their colors and no clear instructions.

Loved the Devcon !

Devcon is one of my favorites, along with Whirl, who incidentally has been updated slightly since. A touch more MTMTE-esque

: Please ignore the unfortunate rotor blade...

And continuing the MTMTE theme:

: Overlord; overlord.jpg (100.97 KiB) Viewed 126654 times

: Swerve; swerve.jpg (171.87 KiB) Viewed 126655 times

Unfortunately, neither of those two are permanent additions to my collection since I don't have the necessary spare bits yet...

EDIT: Er, is it just me, or did the attachments work in two completely different ways?

You should tackle ultra magnus, I'd love to see your take on him. I started to make one, but I'm waiting on my wife to repaint the pieces. I bought another bruticus set, I used onslaught's body and the combiner leg/arm attachments to make him taller and bulkier. I used 2 rpgs from brick arms, cut down to stubs, for the shoulder missiles. The only issue I have are his hands, well the lack there of. I need something to stick into where the legs of a kreon goes on each combiner arm.

On a related note after building UM I stopped taking all the combiner parts off of the combiner leaders, except the second torso I take that out. It makes them much larger like they should be, I just need to lick the hand problem.

I don't think I have any fitting parts for Ultra Magnus. Yet.
I'd probably just make him a normal-sized Kreon, if/when I get parts. While I could use the combiner limbs to make him larger --like the Movie Devcon I made-- there really aren't any 'hands' for that.

On another note, decided to make Overlord a permanent part of my collection. Optimus Prime no longer has his helmet (or head), but I really didn't care for him anyways so it's all good!

Had to paint his legs (didn't want to take Hot Spot's from him), which ended up kinda sloppy. Too bad there aren't many cyan legs, much less outside combiner sets...

Also gave a new helmet to Kickback (same idea as Ransack's, just cut off the visor):

And it seems I forgot to post G2 Megatron in this thread:

G2 Grimlock, Shrapnel and Hot Rod are so awesome!
Keep up the good work, man! :BOWDOWN:

Slight tweak of Shrapnel - replaced the arms and torso with Kickback's parts

Another original Insecticon using spare bits. I'm kinda hooked on making a swarm now.

I'm sure the arm-wing setup could be used by someone else, can't recall any at the moment, though.

Making another set of Vehicons based on the varieties seen in the video game.
Tank Vehicon:

Truck Vehicon:

There's also a Helicopter Vehicon, but I don't have any spare copter rotor bits at the moment, so that'll have to wait.

I have a feeling some other custom will demand these little wings, but for now Shockwave's wearing them. To make him more like FoC Shockwave, you see.

Shockwave meets the Bee Gees.

Skids:

And once again Whirl gets an update, though he's virtually complete now:

News Credits: 7 · by **Noideaforaname** » Tue Dec 17, 2013 12:33 pm

Now Whirl is complete!

And Skids is looking better, too:

Drill Bit (from the Kre-O Devastator set):

Hightower (also from the Kre-O Devastator set):

And I also updated Needlenose:

Full-Tilt came about while I was making a custom Trypticon Kre-O build.

Yeah, Photobucket only allows a certain amount of bandwidth (i.e. views) per month. They usually give a warning when I'm about 75% of the way there, but not this time for whatever reasons.

Should be back up this weekend, the account's cycle starts the 11th.

I hate when that happens. It's happened to me twice so far but I haven't found a better host site.

Since I have a lot of red and blue parts, I thought I'd try making the Nexus Prime bots. So far I've got these three:
Heatwave

Skyfall

Landquake

Methinks I'm in dire need of a better image hosting site...

A li'l Wingthing to go with Soundwave:

The body comes from one of the Cityville Kreons (the Hazmat suit guy, specifically), which are perfect for tiny bots like Wingthing. Hopefully Soundwave's minions are done this way, both for scale and so we can get 2 at once.
