    Superb AM.
    The calculator chest piece is insane (in the best possible way)
    I love it.

    It may not be perfect (the skinny legs) but is one heck of an awesome and unique job. Especially Scattershot. Excellent job.

    Alpha Magnus, Do you have a full time job making these customs? You are just cranking out tons of these customs and they are all awesome.

    Keep up the good work.

    I do not make any money doing this, although I am hoping to start. I work on alot of projects at once, I have just been finishing alot of them lately.

    I am open to commissions , but I do have an Ebay project I have been working on(not a gestalt)

    This is awesome! Yes the legs could be a little bigger but it looks amazing nonetheless :) 

    Great work on this

    Yea, definitely one of the best combiners of 2009 thus far even though it's still relatively early.

    Awesome work AM.

    I understand the sacrifice of the unicron legs for this gestalt, and I like the step you took to avoid using them, however - like others have said, the legs look a bit thin. The fig you used for scattershot looked like he had legs large enough, I don't know though.

    The colors look awesome. I am very excited to work on mine after seeing this one. The calculator is a great touch too. I might do something similar on my chest plate.

    EDIT: just got an idea....MP3 player screen chest. Thinking an ipod size or something like that. keeping it working of course, and possibly speakers as a jet pack looking thing for his back, that connect to the MP3 player.

    THIS IS AMAZING! And mad props to you not cheating by using Unicron/Primus parts. There's nothing worse to me than having an entire body sitting around idle while the team members are in their own molds. Really fantastic work and I just can't say enough in favor of this.

    Calculator reads 9000+

    2 divided by 0 does not compute.

    Freakin' awesome man! I am so happy he turned out so well, as I could see from the individual bot's threads that you were really working hard to make these guys. He looks great, and the fun touches you put in really work. I love the paint that you use. Very impressive my friend!

    Thanks SB you're half the the reason I finished this ! I completely overhauled my Afterburner after i saw yours. not that I tried at all to copy it, but yours raised my own standards.

    also I have started an Abominus after yours as well. it won't be a carbon copy at all, but I do like alot of what you've done already.

    about the paint, the bulk of each bot was covered on krylon fusion. the shiny parts were done with Testors acrylics and enamels, the flat colors were mostly Citadel paints (thanks Spurt ;) )
