Universe Skullcruncher

Ever since we got Weirdwolf as the Botcon '07 exclusive I was obsessed with somehow updating the Decepticon Headmasters. I worked on Skullcruncher, Snapdragon and Apeface back in early 2008, but didn't get a decent camera until recently.
I used the Cybertron Beast Megatron as the base for this, I thought the mold worked as a great update for Skullcruncher despite him being a T-Rex instead of a gator, especially the face.

Creative people are hardly ever in charge when they do their best work. They're just sort of rolling along with their eyes shut yelling "WHEEEEE!"

Those are AMAZING.

Really great work, Grimlock works so well as Snapdragon. In that mode, at least

Awesome, truely fantastic. Skullcruncher was always my favorite Transformer and it's always nice seeing him recreated in these Radicon Customs.

You did a great job.

Many thanks! I love the Universe mold for it being everyone except Grimlock, I own the Overkill mold and think that works better as well! Surprisingly, I think the Universe Grimlock head is almost a dead ringer for Snapdragon's, I'll try to get a thread started for him on Monday.

Thank you sir! I remember seeing someone use the Classics Grimlock for him as a base and was surprised by how well it works on him, it really is a shame that they haven't revisited them a little more in the Universe line. Although, it's nice to see Hardhead getting some attention finally.
