    just finished this dude up...a lil quicker than I expected.

    I owe the idea to LeoBreaker1977. Had it not been for J planting the seed, I never would have thought to do this one.

    Thanks bro.

    It’s the Deluxe Soundwave head, with the shoulder cannon from the new RID Soundwave, and of course a RTS Jazz body. The head was a direct fit, with the exception of trimming the head spikes a lil to fit in alt mode. Paint is stainless steel, a blue/silver mix for the windows and lights, and a basic black. All under a coat of Future for that shine. I used a few more bits and pieces from that Movie Soundwave here and there, where I could.

    Pics:

    You can see on the speakers there I used some of the bits from the Movie Soundwave.

    I always try to add something different each time. This dude here worked out well in that aspect IMO.

    Full Battle Mode:

    I wanted it to look like his arms TF’d I to these weapons. I came up with these clips that I mounted inside the old shoulder areas. They clip right over the hands, and hold firmly.

    Thanks for looking!!

    It scares me how many figures you've made out of this mold.

    Ohhh... I see it now. Neat. Never got the figure, so I couldn't tell until I googled some images. Good reuse.
