    I modified some spare Laserbeak boosters for Microchange Falco(chrome KO). He did come with guns but I wanted him to look more like the original Condor cassettes. I think he fits it pretty well as a Cybertronian version. I am considering painting the boosters blue in some places as well as some other blue accents so that he could be the third Microchange Condor that was blue and was never on Earth. He could hang out with Shockwave.

    To make these I glued the boosters together and cut notches so that he fit snugly and then added some tabs so that he could clip into either side of the wings. The guns were replaced with longer blasters from a Matchbox Parasites figure.

    The last pic is a fan mode of a Cybertronian hoverjet mode with some minor modifications. I might paint yellow on the front for a cockpit.

    Forgot a photo of the Meteor mode so I posted this catalogue image. His meteor mode was unchanged.

    On a last note Falco is significantly larger than the cassette condors and would scale in nice with G.I.Joe. Will try to post a comparison pic later.

    *eyes painted with clear red model paint for painting police cherry lights.

    Thanks for looking,
