WST STUNTICONS / MENASOR

I just finished my version of the smallest Transformers Stunticons.
As everybody knows WST Menasor/Stunticons come with 2 Technobots instead of Dead End and Wildrider. So had to rebuild them.
Wildrider was made of a 2nd Breakdown.
I cut the rear wing, and did some modifications with putty. The figure was colored then in the right colors.
Dead End wasn't that easy. As I had no third Wildrider, I had to do something different. First I used Drag strip and tried to combine it with a Micromaster. But that didn't work.
Then I used 2 different Micromasters. The upper part and the lower part are 2 different Micromaster figures. I had to fill the gap between with some putty and small bits of styrene. After all the figure was sanded a little bit to get the final look.
Man I can tell you, there is nothing difficult than working on such small figures!
Ok, the feet tranformation is not right, but I don't care! I tried to make it the right way, but the lower part always broke when transforming it.
But it still looks nice!
Menasor's sword was scratch built as the WST version doesn't have one.
Hope you like it!

are these knockoffs or something?

Yes! There are no official combiners from the World's Smallest Transformers line. These are all knock offs in perfect scale to all the other smallest Transformers figures. I've repainted most of them, because they didn't come all in the right colors.

I made a pic with BT Tracks and WST Starscream for size comparisson:

Sweet. are these big lots specials? I found a devastator there that was yellow grey and orange and it looks awsome. each of the figures are about the height of the wst dinobots. that and the joints are tighter than the full size knockoffs I have.

No, this is not a big lots special. Each set was bought individually from a seller in Hong Kong some months ago.
The sellers name is jean_paul_valley (on ebay)
The figures are smaller than the WST Dinobots. The individual figures are the same scale like the most of the WST figures (which are also smaller than the Dinobots).
I've never seen the bootleg small version in any other color than green, so I think the figures you have seen are not the same.

Looks good. Are they stil “Scramble City”? Will each limb-bot still function as either an arm or leg? I ask because you have Dragstrip as a leg when he usually functions as an arm.

Yeh, Jean-Paul Valley....Charges 35$ shipping to send in a paper bag without bubble wrap, and took 35 days to receive... I remember him.
Nice work BTW!

I'm afraid I can't change them "Scramble City"-style. But I can live with that.
First I planed to do so, but Drag Strip was also constructed the easy way from the manufacturing company. So he also couldn't be replaced as an arm.
Yes, packing is very poor from him...but I didn't pay that much. Shipping was also very quick. I received my items within a week! So I can't tell nothing negative about him.
At this moment I have 3 "WST Technobots" - only 2 missing.
Scattershot will be tough to make.
But I think it will take some weeks, since I have so much work to do in my main job at the moment, and my wife is not really amused about my hobby....

I remember a scene where Motormaster and Optimus Prime fought each other by making a head on collision with each other. I thought it was really cool because Motormaster used to be able to smash anything by crashing into it and when Motormaster charged Prime in truckmode and Prime did the same it was really exciting to see who would win. I half expected Motormaster to smash prime into pulp, but ofcourse Prime won...

Anyone knows which episode this appeared in?

I think it was 'Masquerade'
The one where Prime, Sideswipe, Jazz, Windcharger and Mirage pretend to be Menasor.
