The Energon Pub

Seeing Bighanks got my butt into gear and I finished this guy up.

Started as the HA Whirl. I took a Macross head and drilled into the eyes section and replaced with a rod from a Gundam frame. I added an antenna and earpiece made from various fodder.

Whirls hands (clamps) are from the DoTM Top Spin. A brand spanking new paint job later Whirl is looking like his G1 self!

Hella Awesome. His head is perfect too. I was wondering why they couldn't do a head more like we got with Swindle/Camshaft or dreadwing/overcast from the first movie line. But you got it perfectly.

Absolutely stunning!

I like this a lot.

Truly awesome!

BTW, is that head from a Yamato VF-1A? Please tell me that's a spare head, because the Macross Valk from Yamato would easily set you back 120 dollars. Can't imagine you'd rip the head off a hundred dollar fig.

Thanks! To answer your question.

I actually used the body to make a Thundercracker about a year ago for a charity auction. This was the head I popped of the VF.

i knew someone had to do it

Glad to know the rest was used for a good cause. BTW, I notice you recycled the missile pods, too. Cool.

In any case, do you have a link to some pics of the custom Thundercracker you mentioned? I'd love to see how it looks.

Heheh, out of frustration while transforming it, maybe?

SWEET! Looks awesome. Even if he does have a pot-belly . Looking spiffy!
