    Got AOE Lockdown just last week. Love the car mode, robot is a little dwarfish (even discounting he should be a voyager) with the short legs. So I got to work to mod this figure.

    Codpiece is a random Geneblock I found and painted metallic black and held together with a copper rod (detachable).

    Feet were made using Geneblock bricks and held tight using black twist ties. Feet can move front-back and side-to-side.

    Fist is from certain Gundam Garage Kit that I found in my parts bin.

    I made the feet attachable to the cannon and others parts (fist & codpiece) able to be store in the various nook and crannies in alt mode.

    It now stands shoulder-to-shoulder to Voyager Hound.

    Awesome ingenuity here! Not sure I like the look of the extended ankles in certain poses, but I admire that you found uses for those pieces once they are pulled off and made into kibble. Bravo!

    Yeah it's still a work in progress as I find the legs a bit too lanky, I just need to find the right material to make the calves & quadriceps meatier looking.

    He's too good for my eyes! Truly, this is good. It's detachable, right? So he can still transform?

    Yes, as shown in the 5th & 6th pics, everything can be securely stored in alt mode, no loose parts needed to set aside. :D
