Like many others, I used the TFP Airachnid head and planted it onto BH DLX Starscream body and start from there.

I clipped out the front & rear elevators/horizontal-stabilizers, used a junk umbrella to do the spider legs and used some plastic sheets to reconstruct Airachnid's hip area to a more cartoon accurate design.

I also removed the main wings and replaced the 4mm rods into the standard 5mm rods as handles for the cleaver (?) weapons. Obviously, I also enlarged the holes on the fuselage where the wings are attached to 5mm...although I don't see the point as it makes no sense to transform it into airplane mode...but I do like to have the option

Thanks for the compliments, but the figure is not for sale :grin:

But really, if you follow the instructions & just use the tools I used, it should take no more than 15~20mins to do the spider legs modifications. Then the rest is just repaint time, and that's just an hour or two, max.
