I don't fancy the Mayhem Attack Squad route so I'm thinking of giving him some more thematic limbs, be they OCs or existing but fitting characters. Banzai-tron from the Brawl mold might work but beyond that I'm not sure. Any other thoughts on character concept ideas? I want to keep the Japanese theme, so keep that in mind.

You could turn a plane figure into Deadlock, and have him adopt the samurai/sword theme before becoming an Autobot.

Oh, definitely. The head should be swapped for something appropriate though.
Oh, and be very careful with the painting. Not making a goopy mess is very hard and bright orange will be hard to cover up. Better ask some tips on how to properly paint because it will be the main and hardest part of your custom.

No, really. Not any specific incarnation of The Fallen/Megatronus but more of a hodge-podge of various ideas: the blackened and burnt body of his old Dreamwave self, the flying alt mode of Movie!Fallen (albeit as an earth mode) and its more 'inner glow' heat than full on flames and a Tarn 3d Printed TR face as a nod to Aligned Fallen, who is generally depicted with some kind of helmet which served as the basis for the Decepticon insignia.
Thoughts?

Edit: what if I added some sculpted flames to the barrel of one of his gun, the one which become the exhaust or whatever that jet part is called.
