    Something I do not recall seeing when searching Shapeways was new feet for the Fall of Cybertron Brawl toy. I am aware that it is common in popular third party upgrades to have better balanced feet for Brawl but some cannot afford those immediately or do not have (or want) the full combiner. From this, I would like to see a pair of better balanced feet for the FOC Brawl mold. Of course, I could not have searched hard enough.

    Also something I would like to see are parts to bulk up the Deluxe Onslaught in robot mode and any unsightly things in vehicle mode, if possible.

    This is actually on my to-do list, I have a number of things I want to do with the Brawl mould but there's a lot on my plate right now. :)

    Cool to hear, it will be neat to see after you complete everything on your plate. :) 

    This is more of a general "challenge". Something I would be interested in seeing are small pistols inspired by the likes of Bumblebee's pea shooter and other small pistols for the Generations Legends toys with 5mm peg holes, now I am aware ]that somebody has done something similar before but they seem more like short Legends rifles, I'm referring to cool looking little guns scaled as standard pistols for Legends.

    I'll also propose this again for any inspiration seekers out there:
    An Ultra Magnus chest that can attach onto the Fall of Cybertron Deluxe Ultra Magnus to make him have a more distinct from Prime look. One that would work with his transformation would be great and would certainly help with making the vehicle modes different. Maybe some arm panels to plug into the 5mm holes on the mold's wrists as well.

    Wrecker Rack 'n' Ruin Conversion/Kit Idea

    I want to suggest a Rack'n'Ruin - Transformers Wiki conversion/kit...consisting of two heads, one with orange optics and the other blue...a hammer and anvil that attach to the hand, right for Rack and left for Ruin...and possibly a connector piece to conjoin the two that would allow for some articulation at that point of connection...the figure the conversion/kit would be built for would be : Transformers (2007) Air Raid (Movie - Transformers Wiki)...my reasoning for requesting the conversion/kit is after seeing the custom by LeakinLubricant, I realized a conversion/kit for this figure would make a near perfect update for the conjoined Wrecker members who have been hinted at having flight capable alts before the experimental surgery...










    Some reference pics of Rack 'n' Ruins head and weapons from the Legends game...

    I remember a dude making a Rack 'n' Ruin conversion kit that used the Gundam HG Loto Twin Set as a basis.

    Junkion Nancy Conversion/Kit Idea

    I suggest a Nancy - Transformers Wiki conversion/kit...it would include a new head...Junkion style melee weapon(s)...and maybe a new chest piece not to dis-similar to the chest upgrades/kits from the (MJ) from a few years back...not 100% that the chest idea would work...the figure the conversion/kit would be built for would be Prime: First Edition: NYCC Arcee... reasoning for suggestion of the conversion/kit would be that most CHUG or neo-G1 collectors were using the NYCC Arcee as a CHUG or neo-G1 Arcee...now that Hasbro/Takara have finally release a G1 Arcee the figure has no purpose in a lot of collections...similar color scheme and alt help in seeing this figure as Nancy...









    Some reference pics of Nancy I found...

    That is a clever way to reuse the toy. I think it would be good for those interested.

    Well, this is different from the norm in my suggestions but I got an idea for those displays and photo comic people. The idea is props made for Transformers toys to interact with and increase depth. Street lights, stop lights, mailboxes etc. for settings on Earth and parts able to be assembled different ways, arches, computers and other parts of Cybertronian architecture for settings on Cybertron. These may get pricey so I would suggest to hollow out the props.

    Autobot Firestar Conversion/Kit Idea

    How about a Firestar (G1 - Transformers Wiki) conversion/kit...it would need a new head...maybe new weapon(s)...most definetly would need her signature chest wings even if part were to be glued on...would also suggest a load of Energon cubes...the figure the conversion/kit would be built for would be GDO Swerve...my reasoning for suggesting the conversion/kit is now that alot of folks have switched over to the legends Swerve in their collection this figure needs new purpose...similare alt and deco would also help this conversion/kit out...

    Autobot Vibes Upgrade/Kit Idea

    My next suggestion is a Vibes - Transformers Wiki upgrade/kit...I'm suggesting a new head, maybe with toned down ponytails to better fit the space needed...and two rifles a she is pictured with, that have the ability to be mounted in vehicle mode...the figure Im suggesting the upgrade/kit for is FOC Sideswipe...the similar deco...smallish somewhat feminine frame of figure...the fact that Vibes hits me as a female Jazz and Sideswipe being a remoulding of Jazz...just seems to perfect of an idea...

    Autobot Road Rage and Gobots Guardian Sparky Conversion/Kit Idea

    Next in my list of suggestions is a conversion/kit to create Road Rage or Guardian Sparky...for both all that is needed would be new heads based on either their cartoon or toy model...the figure I'm suggesting the conversion/kit for is Timelines SG Tracks which is an homage to the eHobby Road Rage as is but could use a more feminine head that better resembles her comic appearances in my opinion...and Sparky would just be cool as a Gobots nod...

    Omnibots Overdrive & Downshift Conversion/Kits Idea

    Bringing up a suggestion I've shared before...I'll suggest a Overdrive - Transformers Wiki conversion/kit and a Downshift (G1 - Transformers Wiki) conversion/kit...both would require new heads...CHUG styled G1 weapons...bonus would be a torso piece that allows the Overdrive chest look and maybe different feet/bumpers for Downshift...Overdrive would also need the dual blaters and wings for third mode...the figures I'm suggesting the conversion/kits for would be Universe 2.0 Sideswipe for Overdrive and Generations Wheeljack for Downshift...the color scheme if mostly there for both base figures...as is vehicle style and transformation...with the addition of these few parts beginning customizers and veteran customizers alike can enjoy updated versions of these two characters...

    CHUG or WFC Mainframe Conversion/Kit Idea

    Have an idea for a CHUG or WFC/FOC Mainframe...the conversion/kit would require a new head...a CHUG styled Vibro Pulverizer...and his Action/Targetmaster partner Push-Button...the base figure for the conversion/kit would be WFC Soundwave...would obviously need some red paint to get the job done...but when you consider the demotion WFC Soundwave received once most collectors upgraded to FOC Soundwave...and the similar bot mode silhouette it makes sense...

    Triggermasters Backstreet, Override & Ruckus Conversion/Kit Ideas

    My next idea is for conversion/kits for Ransack (Cybertron) - Transformers Wiki, Hardtop (Cybertron) - Transformers Wiki & Clocker (Cybertron) - Transformers Wiki...the conversion/kits would transform them into the Triggerbot Override , Triggerbot Backstreet & Triggercon Ruckus ...all would just require new heads...maybe new keys with Autobot or Decepticon faction symbols...the rest would require paint...in Ransacks case blue over white...if using Movie Clocker orange over blues...and Hardtop would be green to tan...none seem like work a novice painter couldn't handle...all three would compliment the Triggercon Crankcase homage) also made from a Cybertron mold...
