    Hello,

    Just thought I'd show off some custom Kreons I've made from playing about with various parts. From L-R;

    GRIMLOCK

    Sideswipe helmet, Crankshaft head (coloured black around the eyes), Sentinel Prime torso, Starscream arms & legs, black hands, Sentinel gun

    IMPACTOR

    Prime BB helmet, Autobot head (can't remember which one), Shockwave body, arms and hands, hands switched over and Bluestreak legs - yellow legs didn't seem to fit right

    CORONATION STARSCREAM

    Shown previously on these boards - basically Starscream with Lego crown and cape

    CUSTOM RED SEEKER (RAGE??)

    Cross between Sentinel Prime, Starscream & Skywarp, with Prime Megatron head

    MEGATRON

    Megatron with back cannon added

    I'm hoping to do some more of these soon, as these Kreons are so easy to mix and match!

    Cool. Are these all done just from swapping parts?!! Looks good.

    I got those oversized ones from Family Mart here (Optimus, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Megatron, and Starscream). I think I could make a big Grimlock out of them following your idea here. Any other possibilities you could think of that would look good as an oversized kreon?

    Yep, just swapping parts. I'll have a think over what you can make with the larger ones, but it's more limited, due to there only being five of them.

    Here's the link to them;

    They all look pretty good, but I'm definitely loving that Grimlock.

    It's crazy how easy it is to create recognisable characters just through parts swapping. Bravo! Makes me want to get more.

    This is the great thing about kreons. Even if Hasbro doesn't make the character you want, you can make a pretty damn close representation just by swapping parts.

    Definitely - that's the best part about them!

    SANDSTORM

    Sunstorm's torso and waist with Vortex's arms, Skywarp's legs and helmet and Red Alert's head and gun. Trying to find something suitable to put on the back for the 'copter parts, but orange lego is not easy to come by!!

    MOTORMASTER

    Love Sharpies - coloured Skywarp's head pinky-purple and put it onto Crankshaft's torso and arms, with 'Warp's legs.

    These are all fantastic!

    Also, the red Seeker could pass for Armada Starscream.
