    Good evening gents, I present you my Metto Squad. None of them combine like the originals. It was a gimmick i hated as a kid, as most of the tail end Charlies didn"t work individually in alt mode.



    First up is Powerrun. Made From an Energon Shortround, the arms and feet were modified to get rid of that Lobster boy look

    Next up is Wheelblaze, made from a TFP Ultra Magnus, with the boom from a Salvation Junk toy, modded to make a cannon

    Next up is Oiler, who I call Oilslide due to his combined form. It just worked for me. A Dark of the Moon Megatron, with gundam hands to hold the oil cannon.

    Team shots and various other shots, because I screwed up the order and don't know how to fix it.

    I hope you enjoyed my first Micromaster post. Oilslide was my first Micromaster custom. Comments and critique is welcomed. Thanks for looking.

    Okay, for your first customs, these are truly amazing! You really captured the essence of the original figures in a way that isn't common, and is quite refreshing.
    Can't wait to see your next project!

    Thanks for the replys and positive feedback guys.
    Yaujta, Only Oilslide was my first Micromaster custom. My first custom was the Gobot Tank, posted a couple weeks ago. Heads up, I've got lots of customs coming.
    2Sixshot, lol, thanks man. Was trying for something dynamic, but it looks like he's squaring up for a dance off.
    WEEGEE, what can I say. You've really learned self control ;)  Thanks for the reply!

    Shiftypenguin, thanks!

    If I didn't know better, someone has a dog, possibly a husky or other northern type or mix.....

    anyways, this works so much better than it has a right too. I might just end up copying this. I would have never thought of just having them as one. You are right, I too didn't much care for front and back for some of these guys. The Transports bases were okay though. Wonder what you'd come up with them.

    Took me a second then looked back at the pics. Definitely something with a little longer fur contributing to these works.

    Nonetheless, not bad

    LOL, I've discovered that my phone picks up things that my eyes do not anymore. As for the dog, she's a black Jack-Shitz-Poo (Jack-Russell, Shitzu Poodle mix.) That might be one of my gray beard hairs....

    I've had ideas about the bases, but nothing has gelled yet.
    Thanks for the comments.
