    Did I mention I have heads and helmets?

    Here's some headgear for combiner teams (vests are also available for all of these). Can you guess who is who?

    I also have replacement heads for the individual Predacons, and headgear for most of the cast of the G1 movie...

    If you are looking for the gestaults themselves, I'd recommend trying Wulongti's shop. He's got those covered.

    I'm seriously considering that Protectobot set... You're planning on doing the seacon and terrorcons too right? (and technobots, why not?)

    Hey, just for you, I swapped Hotspot's head for a helmet. I know you were skeptical of the hollowed out eyes.

    First Aid is still a head though. Seems a waste of a head piece since he has no eyes.

    I will eventually get around to the other combiner teams. From most of the reference art I've seen, the design teams got pretty lazy with those heads. It should be a piece of cake.

    UPDATE: And here are vests to go with them!

    Here's a request I'm finishing up. Assuming my aim is true, the cannon barrel should swivel so that it can point around to the front of the character (the turret should also swivel since it has a 4.9mm peg port on the bottom).

    Do you still want me to get rid of that joint on the cannon barrel?

    Oh, and look what I found...

    Cool, cool.

    Now...uhm...this next one involved a lot of artistic license. Getting the play features you wanted on it seemed to conflict mightily with retaining a "show-accurate" vest. I added some texture to the vest so it didn't look bland...but I'm not sure you'd look at it without the drone and think "Oh, Soundwave...duh."

    Hmm.. I see your point. The pic with the drone looks great. I'm thinking.. Is there anything on the bottom of the drone other then the peg, or is it flat?

    At the moment, the bottom of the drone is flat. It would be possible to replace that with a pattern that locks into place with a corresponding pattern on the chest, but given the scale we are talking, it still might not look Soundwavish.

    The other problem in this case is the Laserbeak itself. If he has to fit on the chest, you don't want him to be much bigger than 14mmx13mm. Otherwise, he'll interfere with the arms and legs. (The one in the picture is already wider than the Kreon torso...)

    Understandable. I had an idea, which I messaged you and sent you a pic on shapeways, which is actually almost what you just described. The drone itself doesn't have to be detailed, if it can just be made smaller to fit on the chest edge to edge

    Actually, I think I fixed it...a 3mm peg on Laserbeak...that way Soundwave can hold it!

    And, barring the hole in the center, the chest almost even evokes his Prime version...

    Hey, guys! Thanks for the positive reinforcement! Obviously, it is very much appreciated.

    I've added a list of everything I've made so far (or at least everything that I can remember making) to the first post of the thread. If you can't find something, PM me!
