    Chromedome from RID 2015 Bumblebee, moved the head up, cut a huge chunk of the chest out, and a full repaint. Working on some heels for him that double as a vehicle mode front bumper. Also need to order a second gun, enjoy.

    Edit: forgot to mention I have to remove the top half of the chest to accommodate vehicle mode, I have a few ideas to remedy this, but a little antsy about executing any of them. Vehicle mode pics tomorrow or after if anyone is interested.

    What's the head situation? Post, hole? How difficult is a head swap on this mold?

    Beautiful finish. So smooth.

    The head is on a ball joint, but there isn't a lot of room to work with, I had to raise the entire neck up a few millimeters so the headmaster could fit in robot mode.

    this custom makes me wish they'd do a Generations version as chromedome, minor retooling to fold away more kibble and add a few joints.

    thanks guys!!

    I'd like that too, though I should point out that articulation really isn't that much less than what we get in generations, really all he'd need are wrist swivels and heels.

    One more pic for the heck of it

    yeah, a wrist joint and a foot joint would be what I'd hope for, aside from a more compact way of folding up the leg kibble, just, one more joint to streamline it.
