    another Triplechanger entry

    Doubledealer was from a Cyb def Red Alert. I added wings and modified the claw to look like a bird head with a "Dragons" knight toy.

    Special thanks to Chansformers for showing his version of Doubledealer, I probably wouldn't have done this for awhile if I hadn't seen his.

    Incredible. One of the best custom double dealers I've seen yet. The inferno head works really well on that mold.

    I'm continually impressed at how vertistile the cyber red alert mold is.

    What did you use to make the little bat powermaster?

    Well done!

    I REALLY like the work you did on ol' 'Dealer here. There is a lot of cleverness employed with quite a few of the choices made (the base mold, the treatment of the missile, etc.). I think this is a good textbook example of what I like to see in a well-done kitbash and a kitbash thread (yep, I notice the very robust gallery you shoot with your work :) ).

    Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work :thumb

    this was one if those customs that had to be done, yes the bird mode is awkward, but so was the g1 bird mode.

    the bat was part mini neoshifter with e cruellocks head and the wings were from the waist of the captain America megamorph

    the bird mode does not look awkward, it looks menacing and true to the g1 style with nice modern mods. This was one of my favorite toys as a kid, well done! :)

    Wowzer, the paint is brilliant! The bird mode is cracking!

    How much spare time you get? I mean, this and sixshot must've taken some time!!

    The bird mode is flawed, IMO, but this is still a very courageous effort.

    Ha! I have had one of these on my desk for a while now, and it looks like we almost went the same way with it. I had my bird-mode neck just the same as yours, though the wings and legs were quite different... not sure whether I like yours or mine better yet! :) 

    Nice job on the paint too... and the Powermasters of course. Lots of great pics coming out of Alphamagnus' workshop today! :D
