And speeking of Thundercracker i still need to post my latest custom; Combiner wars (deluxe class) Thundercracker. I have an idea to do a maching (deluxe) Skywarp, but to make him i would need a CW Airraid, a CW Skydive, a CW (G2)Airraid, a PotP Dreadwind and a 2014 Armada Starscream.

Since you seem to know your stuff with this: do you have a PotP Darkwing and if so, does his head function exactly like the previous aerialbots? Only use of this mold I got are the Liokaiser version (Hellbat and Guyhawk) and Dreadwind. Plus I'm still new to the whole customizing thing (my efforts so far are too crude and shameful to show) but I've been seriously considering making some deluxe seekers to go with Starscream. So do all Aeribots-type share similar head engineering?

So they all have the same balljoint on combiner peg except Darkwing. I don't have him yet however from what i have seen the balljoint for his head is on a hinge so he and Dreadwind can combine into the "Dreadwing Jet." Also the cockpit can now fold all the way around so the nosecone is pointing down. And just a tip best way to make them not slopy is to just not mess with the paint work

Guess I'll stay away from Blackwing, then, if he's not compatible with those Shapways seekers head. I've been slowy looking at various seeker parts for the CW Aerialbots trying to see how many variations could make while still keeping either a classic seeker head or a conehead. Really, it would come down to what wings one replace the originals ones with or not but I'm fairly certain that with enough money and dedication, someone could do nearly the entire seekers lineup with enough time, patience and willingness to blow money on the stuff.
Will I do it? Obviously not. Well, at least maybe not the full seeker lineup but I am tempted to at least get a Thundercracker, Skywarp and a Coneheads trio. Which I'm aware is more than the mandatory four limbs to attach to Starscream but it's just not the seekers without these two trios.

I mean, I could use Dreadwind as a base for these guys but it just would not quite be the same or quite right. And unfortunately, the most fitting Aerialbot mold (Air Raid, with his square blocks on his torso) is the least common of the bunch.

Tell me about it.

Care about that only if you want to make a "G1" style seeker.
But with the right tools and a good ammout of scrap jetformers, ANY CW deluxe can become a seeker. Yes, even the cars. You just have to mind the torso and the legs. All other parts are free game.
Skritz wrote:Unfortunately I don't really have the skills for it, relying on paint and 3d printed parts. At this point I'm even considering grabbing some shelf-warming Starscreams (I don't hate the mold as much as other people do) and give it a Thundercracker and Skywarp paintjob. While this will leave Starscream without seeker limbs it will complete the Seekers trinity, which my collectivization badly need right now. I'm waaay too late to even try to get some Classic Seekers mold and if I don't do it now I'll have to wait and hope the next Generations line has a decent deluxe or voyager Seeker mold to buy in bulk.

You absolutely want to know because you are stuck buying the thing on Ebay? I can understand not wanting to burn money, especially on shipping.
Also, dig up that Dremel. It's pretty much essencial.

By the way, since we are getting Octopunch and Bludgeon as two extra Decepticon Pretenders and I'm already doing bodies for Skullgrin, Submarauder and Bomb-Burst any idea for a good body for these guys? I'd rather avoid reusing an existing one, but I already used Hardhead/Quake for Skullgrin but there is no other tank mold to use for Bludgeon. There is also no crab for Octopunch so I'm tempted to go with Scourge's hovercraft mode. Thoughts?

What do you mean, "making bodies"? Those are not heads.

Eh, giving them repainted+green stuff bodies of Titans Return figures. Yeah, they're not 'heads' but the Prime Masters works as heads. So I guess I'm doing 'pretenders in reverse' or 'pretender headmasters' now. Or are you being technical because technically the inner robot is Liege Maximo, not Skullgrin?

They are WAY too expensive for my tastes, but it's a way for doing things.
Still, I REALLY love my power suit idea. I may just do this. Maybe not with the Prime Masters, but some other minicons.

It's why originally I had settled for 'dumbass insignia faces' (which I don't mind as much as people). I'm no veteran customizer like you, but once I get to properly paint the stuff and finish at least Skullgrin, I swear it will look better than it sound on paper! Unfortunately, my house is horribly cramped right now.
As for the power suit idea, would you go for an original character or are you trying to find a character which suit (heh!) the idea?
