Looks seriously sweet! Tho' I didn't mind this version of him either: The shield and head that's on the new one would've been equally as cool on your original take.
Sorry, but the whole reason why I made these guys was to NOT use Unicron parts. I'd have to redo the WHOLE project just to accommodate Unicron legs, which is something that I don't what to do.
But I'm happy with him and to tell you the truth, pictures really don't really do him justice. In person he looks really good.
Bruticus Update! Here he is folks, the moment you all have been waiting for: BRUTICUS! Measuring out at 18 1/2 inches, this mammoth is my first successful combiner. For size comparison, here he is next to FOC Optimus. Close-up: That's all folks! Thanks you all for your support and patronage. All of your support and encouragement has been appreciated immensely. Enjoy!
