I just finished my last WST project. I made the world's smallest Technobots!
I have made a quick picture. Couldn't do any transformations at the moment, because Scattershot's paint has to dry.
Pictures in alternative and gestalt mode and withe the other WST combiners will follow soon.
They all transform fully like their old G1 counterparts and they off course build Computron.
At the pic you can see all the parts, and all 5 Technobots. For size comparison I included WST Jazz and a AAA battery.
I can tell you, I will never do such small kitbashes again! It's much more difficult than building regular sized robots...
so here we go...

Bye the way, here's a sneak at my next project (thanks to menchoy fo starting this for me) - gues who it is?

Man I love the WST line, I'm starting to collect them starting with the dinobots. Are the non oficial combiners quality any good?

By the way you are doing a good job on jetifire so far. I'm glad it went to good hands. It looks like you used clear styrene plastic, how did you connect the edges, while keeping the see through look?

Your Technobots are very cool. Scattershot is a bit rough. I imagine that's because he needed the most work since there wasn't a really good bot to base him off of. I can't wait to see some pictures of Computron!

Scattershot and Strafe are... what? Modded mini-knockoffs of Silverbolt and... Fireflight, is that?

No! I took some parts from them, but they are mainly scratch built. To finish them I needed parts from all 5 Aerialbots. This is not just a simple repaint.
Transformations are almost like original on all Technotbots!

The non official KOs are made of quite good quality. It's not good like licensed products, but I like them, and they are really worth the money.

I'm afraid I can't build it as fast as you build your amazing kitbashes, but I'm trying my best. I have changed the feet transformation at the moment, and I made a cockpit glass, as I couldn't find any matching part from another toy....some other minor changes were done also....
I used clear styrene, as you have seen right. First I cut the upper part, then the side parts. After that I simply glued the side parts under the top with a modelling glue. I tried first at a example part, if it will be seen after drying, but the glue stayed clear.
Beeing the first time I did a clear part - it turned out quite good. I used Tamiya clear blue spray to paint the glas blue at the end. Currently I'm thinking about putting some electronics in it...If I find something cool with sound...
But first of all I'm on vacation in two weeks for about a month! So this will wait until then...

Awesome, I'm gonna go get myself a WST Devastator. I'd say put some electronic work on jetfire, judging from what a good job you did with Ultra Magnus.

Here are the final pics of WST Computron:

It's not perfect, but I can live with that!
As I said previously it's real hard to work and make details on such small figures.
