I felt Kranix and Arblus would be better served as complete heads rather than helmets, so I'm running a little experiment.

I also felt obligated to embellish Scrounge a little, since his head is so simple.

I can honestly say I've never had any interest in those guys... but the heads look good

Was Scrounge the guy that was in the comics.. turned into a wheel or something... and was only in one issue long enough to get tossed into a pool of molten metal?

Yeah, Scrounge was Blaster's sidekick on Cybertron in the Marvel run...although I always felt like his face design was the least Transformers-like approach they could have taken. It was almost as if the editors told the artist: "Make a Transformer that doesn't fit at all into the aesthetic we've used so far...make it look like some kind of modern art sculpture...I dunno, just stick a pyramid on its neck and plop two eyes on it. It doesn't have to be that good; he's dead in a few panels anyway."

As for the Lithones...I always liked them. I think it was from reading the long descriptions in the TF Universe comics that Marvel sold, so I felt like I was in on some kind of obscure secret when watching the movie.

okay cool man. Have you run out of G1 Characters to do yet?

OOooooo maybe you could start working on parts that will allow customers to take the new combiner limbs and make their own Kreon OTHER combiners... like Computron, Menasaur, or Defensor
