Canceled from Classics, canceled from Titanium...he may never see the light of day (if the overhead fluorescent lighting of Toys R Us can really be considered the light of day...)

Well this might help. It's a repaint of the Real Gear binoculars. Long View, I think it's called.

Its not just a repaint though, theres an added part on top which appears to be the chest of Energon Skyblast. But other then that, a beautifully done modification. ;)^

There's also some none TF parts added over what were the lenses to form his boosters. There are also digi-bashes over at Transtopia of Soundwave, Blaster and Perceptor done out of Real Gears.

That's a pretty cool RG repaint! It looks just like Soundwave!

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!!

Those designs really work perfectly for those things!!! :cool: Me like.

It would be nice to see Soundwave, Blaster, and Perceptor be made a little bit larger though, but either way, wow. I like those designs. TAKE NOTES HABRO!!!

Cosmos still looks like a pair of binocs though. :(

With those paintjobs I'd consider the binocular and game machine moulds. Those would be great!

It really is too bad that Cosmos got cancelled from both lines. I wish Hasbro would make up their minds. Just because the Movie is doing so well doesn't mean we don't want other stuff. I would have loved to see all those Titaniums that were cancelled. That would've been the ONLY G1 accurate Arcee. Oh well, TS. Anyways, those repaints look very cool indeed. I love Soundwave (Naturally 8) ) & Blaster & Perceptor don't look too bad either. Cosmos looks great though. Actually looks like a flying saucer. In some odd sort of way................ :?

Functionally, I don't think that Cosmos design would work (the skyblast chest magically disappears in robot mode). Still awesome look, though.

I love that Soundwave.

Actually, the Skyblast part is attached to the smaller plate so it stays on the back in robot mode.

The Skyblast chest is in the back when it's in robot mode.
Glad you like Cosmos...I had no choice of making one since I won't find it in stores.
