great custom figure he forgot the stearing wheel drone.
would be kinda nice if hasbro decide to make an officail version of this figure in the leader, or voyager class where it shoots small cans out of its chest

And seeming as that these are things we all pretty much want, I hope Hasbro is taking notes!

Nice custom, and the Megatron head makes a decent substitute.
Hope he gets a very pretty penny for it.

It's a shame Hasbro won't make one (and I'm sure they have legitimate reasons behind that decision) but it's nice to see our fellow fans going above and beyond what's required of them.
And I too can see the vehicle mode of Payload in the Vending Machine mode, and I'll admit, the transformation is a bit of a cheat considering, but...it's an excellent custom, it covers the movie model look, and it's finally existent in toy form.
I can't complain, except where do I find another Payload, and where do I get the skills to make my own?
BTW: My guesses as to why they won't make one are as follows:
1.) Licensing problems.
2.) Other than us...who's going to buy a vending machine TransFormer? Kids surely won't be interested, casual fans certainly won't be. This item is pure fanwank and nothing but. That kinda thing just doesn't sell well.
