    I made these two to fill in the gaps on my shelf. Started with a Kup, a Swerve and some heads from Shapeways(SteamShield).

    Interesting mold choice but they turned out very well. Love to see the ALT modes.

    Nice! I love it when a chance is taken on design and it pays off.
    And this has paid off!!

    Wow, those colours look amaze! :) 

    I'm curious why you chose the 'earthen' Kup mold?

    I've always liked this mold for some reason to make customs from. I think it's because it is easy to disassemble. I've made a few Huffers and Gears with it and even a Jazz. Both of them still transform like before but the chest rubs the frame work when moving it around. It did that before paint so I don't really like transform them out of fear of scratching the paint off. Thanks for all the great feedback. I just joined this site and this was my first post.

    That works. Heck the best way to show of tfs is in bot mode anyway.

    Oh, I hadn't read this. Scratch that car-mode request then! :) 

    Great work and welcome to the board!

    Would you have suggestions on how to modify this mold into Kup's original G1 mode?
    Re-Kup it, if you will! :)

    Comparing with the G1 toys, their heads seem to be swapped... Runamuck should have a flat face plate and Runabout have an additional "jaw" component.

    That's my overly complicated way of saying, "Nice work!"
