    Shattered Glass fan idea: SG Hardhead from Titans Return Quake.

    I recommend transplanting the face from Titans Return Hardhead in the Chasm Titan Master.

    Motto: "Whatever man..."
    Function: Ground Assault

    No Autobot is more uncommitted to the cause than Hardhead. Will agree with just about anything others say. Binary bonded to the pushy and sarcastic Duros.

    Note: Of course the remaining parts make SG Quake!

    Motto: "War! What is it good for?"
    Function: Ground Defense

    Dedicated to peace, quake would rather plsnt flowers than fight, but knows as long as the Autobots threaten worlds, he mush not give up his guns. Binary bonded with the talkative and blunder prone Chasm.

    Note: Chasm is Wheatley from Portal. Duros is Glados.

    You could repurpose Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager class Predaking as The Last Knight Infernocus and vice versa.

    I've always thought of Prime Predaking as a good stand-in for Onyx Prime.

    That’s true. They both have the wings and horns.

    Hmm, judging by that art Zeta seems to be inspired by Animated Sentinel Prime, so that'd probably be a better match.

    Repurposed these guys as SG in light of the new upcoming figures. Of course I spent part of last year buying and customizing some figures to repurpose for SG and they announce a whole subline. My goal is to only buy characters I don’t have and stick with what I’ve already bought (particularly since I painted a Megatron), but that may depend on how the new ones turn out.

    Obviously the Quintesson Drone works perfect for SG Ironhide. I went with Select’s Deep Cover for Sideswipe (even though the colors don’t match to the “official” SG Sideswipe but eh). I probably should’ve gone with the Netflix one for the battle damage, but I just like the way the Selects one looks. I decided I didn’t want to paint the figure since it’s a Selects (and could therefor be harder to find one day), so I did my best to use the sticker in such a way that it looked like there was a damaged gash underneath the Autobot one? Is it great? No. But works for me.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Ooh! That's a great idea, especially the Predaking as Infernocus. It kinda seems like a "perfect" version of him. I kinda wanna make some sort of backstory for him.

    (Bad memory of the movie does not help with writing this.) After the final battle of the movie, Quintessa arrives on Earth at Stonehenge. After the battle is over, and the Decepticons have lost, Quintessa revives and rejuvenates a dead Infernocus and draws energy from Earthicron to power him up. The minds of Gorge, Glug, Rupture, Thrash, and Skulk merge perfectly into Infernocus one last time. Their minds and personalities perfectly melded together along with their bodies. There was a blinding light before a reborn Infernocus emerges. With a new energy surging through him, he swears his allegiance to Quintessa. The pair fly off in search of Optimus Prime and the rest of the Autobots, eager to finish what they've started.

    Slap a Decepticon insignia onto the Autobot one and repaint the eyes red.

    Back in 1996 Marvel and DC had a crossover event "DC vs Marvel". I don't know much of the story but I heard that it was not very good. But either way, I believe the vector prime from Cybertron mold would good representation of the 2 brothers (Marvel, and DC) and the Minicons could be repurposed as Access.

    Could siege hound be used for Ruckus as well?
