In case you guys were wondering what Lobo was talking about, here are some alt mode photos:
To answer plowking, the mods I made to the head are minimal. I of course dremeled a hole to suit the ball joint of the neck. I did sand the "ears" so they were mre straight instead of sticking out. Other than that I just painted it.
In terms of firepower, it's a bit dual-sided (pun intended). In bot mode, he's packing some heavy artillery; in alt mode, they both transform into bass boxes and Laserbeak transforms into a set of box speakers!
I really set out to make him look cold and evil. The main element i used were the pitch black tinted windows (flat and gloss blacks + Future).
It's rare that I follow a G1 scheme as close as I did, but that was also an intent of mine going in. I didn't want to force the scheme (such as making the hood a tape deck door), but I did want to use design to allude to G1 (the decals on the back glass most notably, as well as the front glass decal and the leg apps significatly. Also with the weapons and the placement of the shoulder cannon (just dremeled a hole in the vent piece).
All in all, I had a lot of fun with Soundblaster and he'll make a good addition to my customs collection.
