    Thank you guys for all the props and kind words.

    I just talked to my buddy Spoonman and we both decided that we will cast this kit as well as make an upgrade kit for the other FP Insecticons.

    The Shrapnel kit will consist of 1 set of pinchers,1 head and 1 G1 gun(not pictured).You will also have the choice of buying individual parts as well.PLEASE NO ASKING ABOUT PRICES OR ORDERS ON THIS THREAD.We will be posting a thread on the development of parts similar to Maiden Japans Junkion thread and also a commissioners thread for actual purchase info.

    Just wanted to put the word out and we will keep everyone informed

    Thanks again

    Fantastic work here Rumble...amazingly small mods that make a huge difference in the figure.

    I can't believe how much that simple head swap makes this one more desirable!

    Thanks Chuck.I'm still really surprised how the mods made a huge difference.

    The funny thing is I was going though my MTMTE Guidebook for some references last night and came across the Shrapnel pic.I think FP used this pic as a reference because there's a lot of similarities between the pic and the figure,especially the legs which made me even more happy that he turned out the way he did!!!!!

    When I fist saw this I loved it. I got my Thundershred yesterday and I wish FP added pincers to it. They finish the character off perfectly. It's a shame there is no where to put the claws in insect mode though. I jumped on ebay to see if I can get a junker Shrapned to do this but will just wait until you make the kit available.

    Love it! I'm planning on using FP's Bugs to be the clone-back-ups to my/your G1 Bugs, kits to super-duper G1'ify them sound like a great idea!
