    Take note Hasbro, updated Duocons could be done at a deluxe price point. 2 vehicles, 1 robot (the opposite of the Ice Cream Twins).

    Amazing paint job and very creative with the parts! I hated the idea of duocons when they first came out, but if they woulda been anything like this then I woulda bought one.

    Amazing and inspirational work as always, man. I always thought that the duocons needed a little more attention; it was a great concept in theory, though a lot was left to be desired in the way of articulation. But they still combined, so they deserve a little TF street cred. Anywho, your execution and design quality continue to motivate me to get my customs done and finished and put up on here for some c&c. Thumbs way up, and keep the good work a comin'.

    This is a really awesome version of a 'bot that doesn't get enough attention. Your paint job is superb, and the creativity involved with merging these two...well...it's just a really good job...

    how'd you get the head to stay on there? does that part parts-form, or did you work out a way for the little head mount on the helicopter to swing back all of the way?

    Thanks alot for the kind words guys:D 



    No parts forming,i used a ball joint & socket from HFTD Insecticon that swings right back.

    Back when the PCC were first announced i kind of assumed they were going to be Duocons Redux LOL
    Here's a pic of when i first did it

    Cheers:thumb 
    It's just a groove,you have to be really carefull to file it to just the right size so that the 2 lugs on either side of the copters cockpit slide in

    Coming from one of the finest painters around that means alot,thanks dude.

    I second this.

    Battletrap looks phenominal!!!

    Great use of existing molds.

    Seeing this custom brightened up a dull day at work today
