I just finished my latest kitbash of Cybertron Shrapnel and wanted to share it with you.
Hope you enjoy!

Lots more pictures can be seen here on pages one and two.

Very inventive! I'm loving the lightning bolt look with the yellow wire.

Nice Job!

Yeah, the yellow wire really caught my attention.

I love the paint apps. Especially the missile--you did an excellent job with it. And the pincers are a great touch.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone!!!

I was a little skeptical of how this was going to go over with him being a car and all, but the crosswise toy had so many features on it already that were very reminiscent of the shrapnel toy that I thought it would work. I thought the honeycomb inner grill that the toy had gave him a neat little waspinator feel aka beastwars

.

The head is from crosswise's front face section and was added onto the helmet of a knockoff insect from one of those dollar stores. The pinchers are off of the same knockoff toy also. I shortened the flame of his weapon so the loading section was less noticeable. The red headlights (have to redo one cause of glue mist) are from one of those original red sheets of plastic used to read the old techspecs and glued onto the inner chest piece. The yellow wire as a lightning bolt was a last minute idea and I'm glad you all enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty funny myself :lol:
