    The Combiner Wars Supersion comes with very ugly hands and feet, and so far I only saw one 3rd party (PE) will release new hands and feet for it. God knows when and the price might be steep, so I decide to make my own.

    1) Hands, that's easy, just use the hulk tank's hand, I won't bother explain more on it. Just take it off and find a proper connector.

    2) Feet. I choose Cybertron Optimus Prime's feet, plus the Lego toy's joints, like the one in this picture. BTW, this Lego toy's joint is very good quality, feel like a ratchet joint, highly recommended!

    Need to cut off inside the red rectangle part, so Lego parts can fit. Lego parts will provide the ankle articulation.

    This is finished feet, secured with screws, so very stable.

    Here is the final effect. (I chose to paint both hands and feet in white)

    With FOC Bruticus, same size, similar look and feel.

    Hope you enjoy this simple tutorial, and do your own version. Let's make Combiner Wars robots better.

    The FP addon's are only 33 dollars and come with feet, hands, and 8 guns.
    Cybertron Prime runs for 60+ in most places.

    While I don't normally like seeing LEGO parts cut and glued into kitbashes, I will point out that there is a ratchet piece like the one you have, except without the part you cut off.

    Who will use a full Cybertron Prime to do the DIY project? Of course I used the broken one that can easily find which cost 2 to 3 dollars.

    Yes, the crossover transformers, Hulk can turn into a tank. It's quite famous for DIY projects mostly because of the hands.

    It's not hard to find a junker in most cases.

    I applaud you for a nice job, hands look great, feet look good. I like that it has a ankle tilt, but it does look a little like he is about to shoot some hoops with another combiner. Like its some sneakers.

    It's not quite a junker but it's far from complete and it's not $60 but I'm currently selling one...
