    Hello folks I have just got the test prints of my CW Battlechargers head from mail yesterday. Spend half a day painting them to show their effects - hope you'll like them!

    Runabout:

    The deluxe Runabout head is made to fit Breakdown/Wheeljack mold:

    It has a removable battlemask

    Runamuck:

    Again the deluxe Runamuck is designed for the upcoming CW Wheeljack:

    It has a battlemask too, which I lost in the sink!

    Next up are my legends sized battlecharger customs. I created a reduced set of Runamuck/Runabout heads to replace the stock head (which represents Runabout pretty nicely)

    The heads has only the visors that can be painted separately and achieve light piping effects. I am still fixing some loose fitment issue but will release them in a day!

    Unless you are hung up with scale I think legends is no brainer. Cheap and easy to paint. There's no good CW deluxe mold for them now, honestly. Wheeljack may be close but not released.

    hmm do the deluxe size heads use the alpha bravo sized ball sockets? asking because the alpha bravo socket size is perfect for the RTS/Generation Tracks/Wheeljack mold

    No, they have 4mm ball socket for the CW cars. Let me know if you need them for Gen Wheeljack - shouldn't be hard.

    hi there mr steam shield I am enquiring into whether these will also be able to fit the generations wheel jack old also, or if it will be difficult to modify the head to do so
    Kind regards

    Looks like I should seriously consider this as a project, since you are already the second person asking this. I'll take apart my Gen Wheeljack today and see if I can do something there.

    Thank you Mr Steam shield, would be awesome to get 2 of these heads for my generations wheeljacks i have sitting in prep to make these guys, i was going to mod the heads but if you end up making these available i will get these, it saves on time so the projects become simple repaint projects and minor mods.
    Kind Regards

    Lo and Behold! I just modded these heads to sit on a 6mm ball joint, ready to go on Gen. Wheeljack/RTS Tracks!

    I am not sure, you mean the yellow from Shapeways? I didn't do this custom myself, but I'd try to paint it instead of ordering the stained one from shapeways.
