    Lovin' it!

    I agree that maybe a fold down panel on the lower legs would cover the exposed upper legs in tape deck mode, but it's not really a big deal.

    The Robot Heroes head is great! I knew that some of those guys would make for good kitbash heads... the ones without goofy grins at least. Here's hoping they keep on with those, and maybe chill out the cartoony facial expressions just a little. There are still some classic kitbashes I have in mind that I need heads for. :) 

    I have to say, I'm kind of wondering what some speakers would look like on the sides of the tape deck. Not G1-accurate, but I think they would look good (since he looks a bit more like a ghetto blaster than a walkman anyway).

    Awesome. I really like what you did with him. I hope I can do similar justice with my Classics Shockwave bash that I'm currently working on (link to it in my sig, *shamless plug*). Keep up the good work.

    Thanks guys!
    Some of you pm'd me to get more info so I posted another picture on top to explain what I did so that others may do the same in their own way. Hope this helps

    Man, I am SO doing this. I was going to spare his crotch for principal alone, but screw it. Now I just gotta find a ramjet. Wal-Mart's got Classics on Clearance, so maybe I'll get lucky on my lunch break.

    Thanks for the guts picture, though I wasn't one of the people asking about it. I'll probably do this myself, that is, if I can get a hold of the necessary parts, and once I get a good amount of work done on my Shockwave.

    I just did the waist/leg/knee mod to mine. I had already dissected a Classic Starscream as I have been working on wings for a Classic Thrust, so I had the needed parts.

    Thank you very much for the Pictures, and instuction, Ptitvite. Titanium Soundwave has gone from being one of my least liked Titaniums, to one of my favorites!

    It makes my day to read comments like this.
    The titanium figure has potential and with very limited effort or money, you can improve it so much.

    Just got the pieces all disassembled. Legs are pretty much good to go. Any chance I can get a detail shot on the crotch (sounds dirty)? I can't see how to connect it in such a way as to not hinder the range of motion in the leg. it's really annoying the crap out of me.
