    This time, a fly and a dutch rabbit.
    Cut the eyes and back wings off a Cicadacon and sculpted him larger new eyes to make him at least somehat closer to looking like a fly before painting.
    Cut the ears to half length on Stampy then did lots of sculpt work to make him a chunkier bunny for his new dutch rabbit repaint.
    On these 2 I was only paid to do repaints, but I felt they needed more to hit the mark well at all. The customer was super okay with that. :)

    Now that's a cool and cute bunny!. Don't care about the fly though, eww...

    Your work on organic vertebrate animal Beast Wars toys is always awesome and I love 'em! (e.g. zebra, hippo, ostrich, mandrill, poison dart frog, rats, etc.)

    Do you suppose you could make a Robot Masters Optimus Primal into an orangutan perhaps?. Maybe even with realistic fur all over it?.

    Ah yes. Bug's bunny.

    Great job! My question is, can the fly still combine with the other members of the predacus council? Also, do they have names?

    Leap and Swatback were my ideas, but yours totally could pass for Japanese Beast Wars names.

    Its possible, but I always have commissions piled up so its hard to even fit in any custom work for my own figures as it is.

    I've never heard of that, but it does look neat.

    Yes, still combinable and I did some simple paint work on the combiner head in the fly too.
    Names I came up for the fly were Bramble and SWAT, Bramble being the name of Jeff Goldbloom's character in the movie The Fly, and SWAT is pretty obvious.
    For the bunny all I had in mind was Dutch and Hopper, but I couldn't really decide on anything.

    Great work! I'm especially excited to see the fly. During the original run of Beast Wars, my brother and I made up a fly Predacon. His name was PESTOR. And for the bunny's name, I like HARERAZOR, but if he's meant to be a companion to Stampy, I like SPOTTY. And if he was a real bunny, I'd name him OREO.

    It's either that or a bunch of golden shards of nothing.

    Some people still have intact Torcas, so I find your argument dubious.
