I liked the version of the G1 cassettes in the Transformers Comic story "Nefarious" by Simon Furman which is the story that took place after ROTF movie. I thought the use of Beastbox, Rumble and Ratbat were awesome and wish they did have a movie appearance but since they were only in the comic and we would never get actual toys of these characters, I decide to custom make my own. So, here is my take on Beastbox, Rumble, and Squawktalk in a modern form. Haven't done a Ratbat yet until I find the right mold. Sound off below and let me know...WHATCHA THINK??? lol
Hey I think the images in your second post broke. Mind reuploading them or posting a link to an external host? Also, have you tried making "Squawkbox" by using Squawktalk as a wing pack for Beastbox? That said, I totally get it if the paint's too delicate to risk transforming like this. The fanmode's by Ariel Lemon/Fakebuster and inspired by Magmatron custom.
I love these. One of my favorite Transformers is the MMC IDW Ravage and these remind me of that a lot. Fantastic idea.
Ya, disregard that 2nd post, it's been awhile since I posted a custom on here so I had some trouble at first. My customs can be seen at Figurerealm.com under DevconSupreme.
Ya, was thinking IF a combined mode was possible during the process of customizing but really didn't see how it would work.
