I am currently working on my 2nd custom kitbash. I am making a Menasor out of the universe line figures like most have. I actually like the setup that frenzyrumble did on his with the shoulders, but not sure how I am going to make the top vehicles attach. I am still trying to figure that out because I don't want to do a carbon copy. I am using 2 universe sideswipes, silverstreak, and dragstrip (fracture pictured for reference only). I am using galaxy force prime as well. I am making a trailer for Motormaster out of a k-mart semi truck. I cut off the back wheels of the trailer and welded on the galaxy force wheels. I am planning on adding an extra axle to dragstrip from the fracture here.

I replaced the wheels on the sideswipes because the original wheels made the lambo look like it had cheap hubcaps on it. I used the wheels off of rotf deadend and jolt. I think that it makes them look tons better and will define the 2 as different cars as well as me changing out one of the roofs.

suggestions, advice welcome.

The Lambos look great. Did you run into any problems during the wheel swap? Did you have to mod the wheels in any way?

 

not really, only a little bit from deadend and jolt with removal. I had to trim out the wheel wells and trim down the hub where the wheel sits onto, so it sits flush with the side of the car. I didn't put a pic up but I do have the shoulder pieces completed with the unicron, turbo tank, and additional gfp pieces and ports.

 

haha just like me.

ken that so imprssive ,do start another one

i love the wheels swap

 

  I am not using the deadend or hotrod (even though I wanted to but couldn't find one) I like the way you did yours, except the hands. but good job.

Thanks alot! I am already working on my bruticus but he is going to be a big sonofabitch. I am planning on using voyager size figures for all and leader for onslaught. keep an eye out for him.

 

looks like you got a steady plan there, good luck.

 

Thanks alot, I just need to find more time to work on him   I am contemplating on using classics rodimus as one of the guys too.

 

im lovin the wheels on the lambos. Im planning on doing a wheel swap on mine as i want them bigger maybe try and find some deep dish wheels for them. cant wait to see how u connect the arms

 

the only thing with that is there isn't alot of room to "tub" it out enough for deep dish wheels. but I would like to see it if you pull it off

 

thanks for the advice iv been trying to find some that will fit but i reckon im going to have to make my own so hopefully they will come out alright.

 

I have done more work to him in the last few days.. I need to finish up the leg connections, feet and mod the head. I am doing a trailer too. I took the wheels off of the prime trailer and put them onto a generic trailer from k'mart. I think it will look good though.

 

Ugh, It's killing me...what are the shoulder joints made from?

 

from the shoulder joints of unicron.

 

Smooov!

 

lol.. thanks!

 

Lookin good so far, comin along nicely.

 

lookin good kenny! Cant wait to see this finished... I wish I had some where warm to work in to finish my customs. Damn it..

 

Thanks man... That rodimus looks bad ass! you should post it in the "transformers on ebay" thread for more traffic

do you have a basement or anything like that?

 

I have him near completion with the wings on his head left do to. then I have to start painting him. The joints on the feet proved to be a challenge for me, but I feel I got it now!
