This is my very first kitbash, so go easy on me. He doesn't transform.
He's made out of an RX-71..no..wait...RX-78 2 Gundam action figure, a Reissue Bumblebee keychain, expoxy repair strips, hot glue, sliver, black, and yellow paint.

Pretty cool, like a better version of the action masters...

Though those pictures where his back is to the camera really makes him look like he's depressed and comtemplating jumping.

Some of the molding is a little weird.

Also, it's RX-78-2 Gundam. I've never even heard of RX-71.

Yeah...whatever Gundam it was, it worked out. That yellow paint was an ass to work with and it took a good 5 or so coats of the stuff to actually get the color I was looking for. The moulding on the legs is kind of weird, it doesn't even look all that mechanical, but more of like lumpy armor. I need to take GrimSqueaker's advice and work with the expoxy in layers and use actual tools, seeing as how the moulding was worked from using only my hands. If I can some some expoxy, I'll try and make another bot...or Con.

Another Action Master most likely. :P
