Another "I like this Siege figure, but not enough to replace my Universe" custom. Hound's boxy truck mode and dark green seemed well suited to the old Gobot Geeper-Creeper, so I removed the battle damage and Autobot symbol then added a new head I drew up and had printed at Shapeways. I had considered including details to call back to the spare tire and gas can on the original, but I wanted to keep it fully transformable so I settled for just the head box.

 

Sweet fancy Moses, but do I love that head. Geeper Creeper has been one of my desk bots for years, and I've often debated customizing a Hound into him, but never got myself past that stage. This is great work. Does he have the bright yellow hood star in altmode?

EDIT: Also, if you wanted to give him a gun that's a bit more accurate to the original toy, might I suggest the rifle from the Classics Deluxe Optimus Prime (from the two-pack with Megatron)? But that's by no means a detraction - he looks great with the standard gun, as well!

 

That head is great! Is it available on shapeways to the general public? How about an alt mode?

 

I really like the head nice job!

 

Geeper Creeper, where'd you get that peeper?

 

I clicked on this thread think "oh no, not Geeper Creeper", but that head is killer. Works perfectly, great work!

 

Great work! Let us know where we can get one.  

 

Man...that looks great.

if you decide to sell that head to the GP, add me to your list.

 

Thanks, guys!

Oh, great idea - I don't think I have one of those, but I'll check to see if I can find one for cheap to steal his gun. Thanks!

This was my first TF part, so it needed a little massaging to work with Hound's neck (I usually draw up parts for models, where some final adjustments are always needed). As long as you don't mind doing the same, I can absolutely change the file to be available to everyone.

Here's his alt mode. I left the gold star in place, figuring it was close to Geeper-Creeper's hood and fit this design:

 

I would be totally interested it this head! Make it so!

 

Done!

awesome! i have a CW mold version, including a head wheel. this is awesome, i love the custom sculpt.

 

Thanks, guys!

 

Geeper Creeper is simultaneously the worst and best go-bot name ever.

 

Thanks!

 

No, it is the best! As a kid, it never failed to send me into song!

 

Got the head today. It looks great! All I need now is some of that paint and I’ll be set.

Thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks, and you're welcome! The paint I used was Mini Engine Green (I think also called "Mowog Green"), mostly because it was already on-hand and looked closer than anything else I had. I'm sure there has to be a better/cheaper alternative
