    Hi Guys, this is my first posting on these boards and I bid everyone greetings! For those that may know me from other forum groups you know I not much of a socialite, but I loves me some custom toys and while I am not new to the world of custom figures I am still a noob to Transformers customs (which I consider a whole different ball game). I thought I'd start my first post with my most recent custom which is a simple repaint of Straxus my way. While he still does transform I thought it'd be cooler to be able to display him with his alt mode at the same time. Hope you guys like him.

    I plan on doing more TF's customs so I'll be around...

    I am absolutely loving that, Stronox. Much better than, and a great improvement over, the simple blue molded plastic of the original.

    I'm getting an either a Banzai-tron or Bludgeon type of vibe with this custom...maybe its the color. Anyways Straxus looks badass and IMHO should be christen as Dark Straxus.
