    Hah, nothing at this moment. I haven't had the opportunity to throw together that leg attachment, so he's sitting on the ground in front of the "full" Unicron leg.

    As I stated, a bit of imagination is still required to see the end result :)

    I haven't had an opportunity to measure him yet, but words like "big" and "ginormous" come to mind.

    On a neat side note, I'm LOVING this arm setup. He can shrug his shoulders, salute Megatron, even scratch his arse if he likes.

    Thanks for the kind words!

    The question of the hour is, multiple gun barrels or a single giant one?

    Hook will actually replace the orange areas that contain Unicron's old fists(the "spikey" areas). I'll likely take the "partsformer" route with the shoulders/arms by attaching them to the blue plate over Longhaul.

    Yep, he's quite solid.

    Added a picture of his in-progress chest shield.

    It seems Mixmaster is the hardest to make (understandably since there is no already made one). And the ones that I have seen so far are either hurting due to it being a partsformer or not looking so great in alt mode. Your mixmaster has potential to be the best all around. One question though, does the mixer drum have to be moved to the side like that in leg mode? Also the chest shield seems bulky. It seems it'll make his chest protrude quite a bit.

    I appreciate the kind words in relation to Mix. His barrel is on double-elbow joints as well as a swivel, in addition to the base of the "arm" being able to rotate 360 degrees on top of the truck.

    To make that long story short, there are many places the cement barrel can go in combiner mode. Witness:

    In regards to the chest shield, the picture above may make it look a bit clunky, but I assure you it's sleek and slim(and still incomplete):

    I think the Chest shield fits this guy perfectly. Where did those wings come from? Either way, should make for some nice detail paint/drybrushing.

    The wings are from one of my Cybertron Optimus Primes. He was going to lose them for a custom project anyway, then it occured to me where they could go to good use.

    I posted a pictue with the shield wired on temporarily. Keep in mind the width of this guy's shoulders before passing judgement :)
