Its a nice look, but yeah, its no longer Hot Rod with that deco. Still a cool looking figure though.

You know if you took off the wing and did him with that design with yellow stripes he could be a passable Deadend. Not perfect, but a decent.

Here is an interesting custom. I’m guessing it’s supposed to be Rodimus Prime, but am not positive as I can’t read kanji. I would love to know how he pulled it off.

Can't get that one to open up no matter what I try, you sure you got the whole link? I've tried copy and paste and everything.

The E-Rodimus and Cyb Bendy Prime parts are pretty obvious. The arms look to be off of a beastformer, but I have no idea which one. It's also got some Zoids parts up in the shoulder boxes.

You missunderstood him. He said he should contact the guy to try and make it.

Check my last post in the Big List O Galleries thread for the link to the creator's site. The guy makes tons of scratch builds.

Looks like someone came up with a major improvement for the Classics Optimus Prime/Megatron 2pack.

Nice mods there. Looks like they've wisely given Megatron that extra hand he so wanted.

By the way, regarding the Rodimus fig; apparently (according to the Babelfish translation) the arms contain bits of Stampy and Break, and I think Live Convoy had some input too (there's some mention of helicopter, orange and feet). There's also three or four other figs that were used, but it looks like their names (assuming the guy knows them, he didn't know any of the others) are untranslatable; after running them through Babelfish, they're still in kana. We'd need a Japanese reader to translate it better.

The guy who built it wrote:スパリンロディマス
USA convoy
Helicopter of スパリンブルーティカス (orange) foot
Shoulder of the rabbit of BW
The penguin of BW suddenly the original shoulder joint
ライオコンボイ even suddenly
Joint of ゾイドブロックス
Crotch joint of メタルスインフェルノ
The material is above.

The kitbasher did what he could..
That Optimus design is horrid. I really can't get over those "candy pieces" on his kneepads.

I want to see them painted like traffic lights myself

by **jimsloth** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 9:16 pm

HAHAHAHA!!!!

BTW, I like that they got rid of meg's spinny attack and gave him a spark crystal instead. Too bad they used purple for his highlights instead of red.

by **Gryphman** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 5:55 am

The same guy who did that Galaxy Force Bluestreak has made a new custom. This time it's Prowl. I like his new flip up sirens.

How is the head done? Is it a remold? Where is the head from originally? the same figure? it looks really good. now Jazz!

Yeah. It is a little bland.
it LOOKS like they gave him a proper elbow as well, but it's hard to tell if it has the freedom to move all the way. I personally would have liked it if the spark crystal were on the side of his elbow joint, because if there IS room to move it, it's on the other side meaning the spark crystal is on the underside like an elbow-pad. then again, I think the side of the cylinder of his elbow is part of the outside of the tank turret so you would probably need a nicer looking joint than a ball-and-socket.

by **tentagil** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 4:53 pm

The Jazz custom looks like the original head with the visor removed and a new crown molded on.

by **Tramp** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 4:02 pm

One thing bums me out about Livedoor though. They get rid of everything older than page 5, so all those old links are useless now.

Here’s an interesting new one. Any one know who it’s supposed to be? I don’t.

when the pic was small i thought cyclonus, but maybe it's just an original bot?

by **Ramrider** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 2:34 pm

I think it may be a version of BB/Max B from BW Neo (or is it II? I can never remember). I Babelfished it and there was mention of him being called B Strike.

by **Tramp** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 3:48 pm

Okay… Who is BB/MaxB?

Just checked... it is BWII he comes from. BB was Starscream's partner (the big guy from the Stealth Assault/G2 Darkwing mould).
http://www.tfu.info/1998/Destron/BB/bb.htm

Max B was his reformatted mode, which was a remould from Wolfang and K-9.
