    Nice! I need to grab me some of those Tamashii battle effects parts.

    Good eye! I'm currently in the midst of kitbashing some additional parts on to HA Soundwave's legs since I was somewhat dissatisfied by how short he was compared to the other HA's. I still like his HA figure since he's a fun if fiddly toy (alt mode is aces), and aside from the lack of silver paint (I may rectify this some day soon), I wanted to bring him closer to his CGI design (which was taller and had fuller "normal" legs similar to Bumblebee's).

    I sacrificed a junker Voyager Blackout and TFP/RID Megatron I had laying around for his new shin and foot parts, and they simply clip (very solidly) on to Soundwave's stock feet without damaging the original HA figure in any way (so they can be removed and put on anytime I want without having to interfere with transformation). He currently has a chicken leg thing going on (similar to Starscream and Barricade's designs) but I hope to graft additional car parts (still a WIP) so it's not quite so obvious.

    But I'm liking how much taller and more proportional he looks at the moment, thanks! At the end of the day, I'm using this kitbash for inspiration http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/creative-general-discussion/475865-moros-ellipsis-dmk-dotm-soundwave.html and hope the end result looks half as good as this!

    I'd love it, and I'm sure others would too, if you would post a "how to" thread over in the Radicon section.

    Thanks, I'll think about it. I'm still trying to work out how to attach additional (car) parts on to his new donor legs, not to mention figuring out where to scavenge said parts. :D  I'll probably post once I make more progress in that regard.

    I think it's two or three Transformers Go! Hishomarus combined together, and it actually looks great. I always thought he looked like one of the least sucky swordbots.

    Thanks! The paint and rust effects really are impressive on him, as are the tangle of wires and little (working) pistons he has on some of his joints. The cloak is especially nice since it's made from real (stiffened) canvas and molded to look like it's blowing in the desert wind. He's just so massive and weighty too!

    is it just me, or do you usually have a VAST majority of your pics showing decepticons winning over autobots? nothing wrong with it, but I was just wondering if I had noticed a pattern or not.

    that looks really good haze! whatdidyado? take a soldering iron to him? I happen to have one of those...

    that custom is S-I-I-I-I-ICK!!! I love the reflective faceplate! MAN, I wish I could customize!! and who is the beefier one on the far right? arms micron?

    great job on the posing thee! I feel that im gonna have to start doing this to my collection instead of only having them 1 row deep.

    that is such an awesome pic! using that as a wallpaper on mah phone!:confused2  we cant see it, but starscream just dropped a huge deuce!

    Amazing shot, and a great reference to one of the iconic shots of AoT

    Forced prospective. Angle of the camera and such make things seem much larger than they actually are. I'd love to see some more Forced Prospective shots like this. Maybe with a Leader Class and some 3-3/4 in figures.
