Real nice work. I'd replace that jewelry clasp with something thatv looks more like a tow chain hook :-?

Only things I'm not digging are the shiney jewel and jewelry clasp on the chain. other than that, nice work...the metal looks like...metal!

It's his spark!..the clasp is so you wrap the chain round stuff and then fix it to keep it tight.I did try a conventional hook and it didn't work as well! Functionality won out over aesthetics this time.

good idea nice contrast to the battered look you gave the rest of him

nice custom! the grease on the alt mode looks a bit oversone though... but robot mode is awesome. wish i could custom my Longarm like this also, but i'm not a big fan of reworking my bots.

what did you use to sculpt the head details?

:MAX:

Looks good. I like the chain idea

That's great, love the head.
But, I'd agree, sometimes functionality has to win out.

manip,wouldn't know whether it was the model or the real thing.

That is one of the best customs I've ever seen!

I was wondering when we'd see what you did to him! That's one hard-core bot! The clasp looks fine to me. There are big chains that have clasps like that. Did you free-hand sculpt the symbol on his forehead? Either way, it looks terrific!

That's a nice custom you got there. I really liked the chain idea, makes him look more hardcore, if he wasn't already with weathering you gave Longarm. Nice work.

Nah,my eyesight isn't as good as it use to be.The autobot sigil is a double mould from leader Prime's front grille!
