    Started this a quick fuzor and it kind of snow balled into a custom im really proud of.

    For 22 years you waited...

    Obviously a little creative liberty but im happy regardless.

    If anyone knows the artist please tag them.

    Let me know what you think!

    Looks quite interesting, but I'm not really sure where the "waited 20 years" in the guessing thread came from.

    The art came from a convention contest years back. I remember saving a few of the pics, specifically the goth-like Blackarachnia.

    Looks pretty nice :thumbs2: 
    I've seen an ursa-gryph Optimus Prime before made out of TF Prime Beast Hunters Grimwing/Darksteel. But this one looks like way more work of course.
    And sorry, but I love to analyze custom figures:
    robot head has already been mentioned a couple of times
    alt mode head and back panel - BW Airazor
    torso panel - BW TM2 Iguanus
    robot arms, crotch, thighs and middle legs - BW Bonecrusher/Big Horn
    alt mode arms - BW B'boom/Apache
    lower legs + feet - BW TM/Armada Terrorsaur
    tail - BW TM Rattrap
    wings and tail feathers - some bird Transformer
    mane - ?

    Wow very good job. There is technically no Bw airrazor... Well... Its a knock off AR. The wings tail feather. Head.

    You can actually see general grevious poking his eyes out under the beast head.

    And a small hinge from a energon? Bruticus combiner in there.

    Mane is from a knock off bw prowl.

    Uh, those wings and tail feather are definitely differently sculpted :D 
    I like to know my stuff. Helps me with my customs although I don't tend to kit bash that many different figures together. I have a lot of respect for people who are able to do that successfully.
    So I tip my hat to you, sir!
