    Whoa talk about resurrection! And i'm glad too, cause kalron, you made this?! This guy is awesome! I very much rather have this than the Henkei Ultra class on my shelf. Excellent work buddy!

    WOW Zombie Thread!!!

    Thanks for bringing this one back up, it has been awhile since I have done some bashing, but Powerglide is my personal fav so far.

    Check here, it's most likely the cheapest you will find a conehead:

    Ramjet White - Classics & Classics 2.0 at KOTOYS.COM

    As for a tutoral, I would have to make another from scratch, but here is the lowdown.

    Uses Tankor/Octane Wings, removing the propellers and covering with Epoxy Putty.

    The Seeker arms are attached to the wings.

    Head was dremeled down and sanded. The face plate is Epoxy Putty.

    The chest is part of Tankor/Octane's removable scissor weapon/tanker. and the mid section is from Deluxe G2 Megatron's arm cannon.

    The rear tail wings are cut and paste from the rear wings of Tankor/Octane.

    Some dremeling along the sides of the Seeker mold were required to get the wings to sit flush.

    I think that was it...any question please feel free to PM me.

    Thanks again guys!

    I wish Hasbro did this with Powerglide instead of the Ultra whatever.

    Great job!

    I forgot all about this. And now since I've replaced both figures from my collection with their Henkei counterparts, I have these figures to spare!
