    Hi Guys, I was toying with the idea of making a custom combiner using the combiner wars figures, has anyone else given this a try? And if so, what did you make? I like the interchangeability of the figures, so I'm sure there's some fun customization ideas out there.

    I'm toying with the idea of repainting onslaught, firefly, wheeljack, Rook, Alpha Bravo and Powerglide into a crimson, gold and black Maximal combiner named Imperatron.

    I have some I'me working on.

    First I have Scattershot's "Betatron" using the FOC Wreckers as limbs thanks to some combiner port adapters I got from shapeways.

    I'm working a Gobots/Machine Robo inspired combiner that started because I wanted to repurpose Hound as Jeeper Creeper, and then saw the tank turret head fan mode for Brawl that resembles the Gobot Destroyer. Onslaught will be the core, but I actually can't complete the combiner until Computron and Liokaiser come out because I need the blue drill tank and Strafe for some of the limbs.

    I'm also starting on a custom Magnaboss based on the Beast Wars II version using what will be my extra Scattershot as Skywarp, Offroad as Santon and Sunstreaker as Lio Junior. Eventually I'll have Lightsteed as Randy/Razorbeast and Afterburner as Armordillo/Bump when Computron is out.

    And I have yet another Combiner, this one nearly complete, that's themed on the Brave series. Although only two of the members are actually based on Brave series characters.

    I have BC Prime as Energon Check Point and one Prowl being slightly modded to homage Energon Swat Prowl. Then I have another Prowl being modded into Deckerd from Brave Police J-Decker as well as First Aid being customized into Duke from J-Decker. Then Rook rounds out the limbs with Legends class Groove in a fan target master mode as a shoulder cannon. Also looking into adding Alpha Bravo to the mix as some sort of jetpack...

    I don't do true customs, but I've got an optimus that will be paired with groove, alpha bravo, rook, and prowl. All kind of in the police/military realm, all autobots, and all red, white, and/or blue. Seems like something optimus would like. Not necessarily my favourite thing in the world, but it seems fitting for optimus.

    Oh, well If I hat one of those lying around I might try and turn it into a Slipstream, then pair it with 4 different coloured blastoffs to create a seeker combiner.
