    I'm DONE!!! This has to be my fav one yet, as I said it was the reason I started bashing. Only other thing I'm going to add is pegs to the cannons to fit in to the hands in bot mode.

    Satomiblood - keep with it, it is well worth it.

    Wheeljack - thanks man, hope you like the finals.

    Damnnit, is there any reason for all of these kick @$$ customs on the board at the same time!! This one is sweet, the red looks vibrant. Great work, Kalron!

    I just got an Energon Megatron for $25 off eBay and I plan on borrowing your idea for Strafe. Credit is due to you and others that have played around with the idea.

    I've also got an Energon Windrazor that I may consider modding into a Strafe. We shall see.

    That's absolutely awesome! I didn't see it at first, with the green and the skyblast deco, but now in the correct colors it looks mighty fine!

    Really nice, can't wait to see the whole Computron. Are you going to use the Starscream or the Jetfire?? I personally don't like th Jetfire mold. his arms are kinda' floppy.

    Where can you even find a Cybertron Starscream voyager at a decent price? Or is $50 decent enough?

    That's a good question... Cybertron Voyager Starscream and his Galaxy Force counterpart are pretty hard to find, especially at a fair price. Even the KO versions that were around a while back (I got myself one of these and it's actually pretty awesome!) seem to have dried up.

    However, I did fluke out and win this auction about 2 weeks back, so there's hope for anyone out there... if they're patient and lucky... Yay me! :D

    On the other hand, reports indicate that there's probably a (only slightly damaged) Botcon Exclusive Shattered Glass Starscream sitting on the roof of an undisclosed Cincinnati motel. You could make it a road trip. :wink:

    I would suggest holding out until late summer/fall when Universe 2.0 hits. There will be the Target Exclusive Dirge/Roadblaster 2 pack. Dirge will be a repaint of Voyager Cybertron/GF Starscream.

    Otherwise, $50 is the low end of the scale for prices I have seen, mine was that much shipped.

    As for Energon Megs, did you get the Voyager or Leader class, $25 is a gread price for the Voyager as it was an exclusive (I think I paid $45 for mine).

    To everyone else...thanks!!! I am stoked about this one...more coming soon. Scattershot will be last as I am still flip-flopping between the 2 molds.

    Right! I totally forgot about that Dirge repaint upcoming... that will make it a bit easier to get this mold...

    Well, since you asked...I'm still waiting on an Energon Jetfire, watching a few on eBay, so he is out. Nosecone would be easy, but he is my least fav. That leaves Lightspeed and Afterburner...*flips coin*...Afterburner.

    and $25 for the Voyager is a great deal seriously.






    (I actually flipped a coin)
