    I modified Fans Project Insecticons by adding oversized KO G1 Insecticon wings, pincers, and horns to them, along with oversized weapons and normal G1 heads for Shrapnel and Kickback. A lot of dremelling to get parts to fit on certain parts. Most difficult was getting Kickback's head to fit and be able to rotate for transformation, and Kickback's wings, and Shrapnel's Pincers.

    Their ninja weapons are not wasted though, as they can still use them for hand-to-hand combat. :D

    thanks! I still want to remove the orange-red color from Shrapnel's cockpit, and I want to add the yellow circles to Bombshell's bug eyes.

    thanks so much for this idea! My Fansproject Insecticons arrived today along with the oversized KOs. I did the same mods you did minus the head swaps.
