    Well guys thanks for all the imput, the materials are on the way. I am in contact with a great kitbasher who I am sending a few heads to test out and hopefully he wouldnt mind reviewing them. Are certain alt heads more popular than others for bashing?

    i'd love to help you where i can. i've sent ken parts to repro, and he's put them up, so i'd be willing to donate parts as well. and from someone who knows what your about to get into, don't hesitate to ask for help.

    ;)

    A lot of people have used Alt Silverstreak's head for "Seekers"
    I recall seeing a few people looking for Alt Prowl's head too.
    I've seen Alt Swerve's head make a great Insecticon head.

    Maybe you could start a poll here to see what people would like to see as far as Alt Heads go....

    I know I would love a red translucent Wheeljack head piece for my custom....if you end up making some of these, deffinetly put me down for one :thumb

    Something else you might consider would be weapons/accessories for Alternators and Classics. Swords, shoulder weapons, etc. I'd bet that there are people who could supply originals if you wanted/needed.

    Id bet there is not shortage of people who'd buy from you if you were prepared to make the stuff. Id love some s2000 gun barrels and many heads can be used for kbing

    Anything where characters were swapped last second.

    i.e. Trailbreaker, Ironhide, etc.

    I'd definetly get a couple Alt. Grimlock swords for some of my TF's. Like I mentioned in my other post, I'm also interested in some movie repro stuff, mainly heads, and I also seem to be the only one, lol.

    If you could repro the shoulder missle launchers for a cheap price, I bet you could sell those like hot cakes. The one that comes with Smokescreen.

    I know I spent a lot of money on Binaltech Arming to outfit all my BTs.
