    I present tonight my latest custom, the Autobot Wipe-out
    Wipe-out was a courier before the war. He was cursed with a faulty gyroscope and had difficulty staying upright and maneuvering in alt mode. His sidecar was a blessing, adding stability when traversing the streets of Cybertron. This didn't stop him from being the object of ridicule though. When the war broke out, he remained with his friends out of a sense of security, being small and often ridiculed for his disability. He eventually was transferred to the Joint Operations Executive division, where he was transfered to Earth to work with the indiginous life forms to disrupt Decepticon infiltration units. He was initially teamed with the human Rock & Roll, who introduced him to Earth music, amongst other things. Watching Wipe-out try to maneuver without his sidecar, Rock & Roll likened it to watching a fledging surfer struggle to ride the waves. Working together, Wipe-out has developed a new, chaotic way of flying into battle, zig zagging across the battlefield, running and gunning, cackling loudly to his new theme song, the Beach Boy's Wipeout

    The bot is RotF Reverb parts on a CW Groove body. The mini gun is part CW Optimus gun, various lego parts and pretender barrel

    Thanks for looking, comments and critisisms welcome

    Thanks for the compliments guys.
    The head is from the Universe combaticons Brawl, heavily modified to fit under the chest piece.

    That's REALLY nice.

    I'm guessing the minifig can't actually "ride" the bike, but they look really good together regardless.

    Very nicely done, and the backstory to go with it is great.

    That's a good looking Rock 'n Roll. More TF collectors need to incorporate Mega figures into their displays so the line won't struggle as it has been.

    It appears that his shells are loaded backwards though.

    Yeah, it looks a little awkward riding it, but surfing it is another matter entirely.

    Oh crap, you'r right. I'm getting old...

    As for the Mega Construx figures, I agree, they really work nicely for what I need. I love that Walmart is stocking them again.

    Yeah, I've never been a big fan of the base figure because of the tiny head, but it's great for modification.
