    Thank you guys! I've slowed down my output but I haven't stopped. I suggest checking in once a week or a few times a month for new pieces. I really enjoy making them.

    So I get to be the only one that has a response other than how cool they look, which they do, don't get me wrong. Why do you have three different mold choices for the Seekers, but the Coneheads are all the Classics version? And where's Warpath?

    You're the only person to ask questions! To answer your first question about mold choices and Seekers- I wanted to have a variety in molds for the Seekers. I was weighing between having all the Seekers use the original Classics mold (which I really like) or throwing in some variety and using different molds for the first three Seekers. What do you guys think is better- uniformity with molds across all the Seekers or having some variety?

    Warpath is number A-37. I'll eventually get to him. I skipped him to draw some of the Season 3 movie characters. One of my plans is to draw 128 Autobots and Decepticons each. I'm skipping around to draw characters from each Season/Year. I'm tentatively planning on drawing some Season 4/Year 4 characters next. But I'm going super slow now because my life's gotten hectic.

    Personally? I like the Seekers all the same, kind of a long history, you know? I remember someone did an art collection where they all had different alt modes and different visual cues, it simply didn't work. Frankly, the art was poor as well, but I was more focuses on what the intent was.

    These are great. Any particular reason for certain molds? Like the Nerf Gun Megatron especially. That's a really cool version of the character you don't see floating around too often.

    Gotcha. I think I'll switch to having them all use the original Classics mold. I agree with you, with the Seekers, the uniformity is part of their character. This project is supposed to reflect the G1 aspect of all the characters and for Seekers that includes them all having the same mold.

    This is a huge project and this it is barely the tip of the iceberg. For this part of my project I'm making art on the "CHUG" versions of G1. Some characters have multiple CHUG figures and some don't have any official CHUG figures. I chose "nerf gun" Megatron because that was his original CHUG figure. I'm open to suggestions though.

    I'm going to change some of the art on some of the characters. For example, I'm using masterpiece Soundwave as the mold for Soundwave in this project since there is no official CHUG Soundwave. In the future I'm going switch that mold to Music Label Soundwave. In a far, future project, I'm going to draw "Cybertron" versions of G1-- that's when I'll use FOC or WFC Soundwave for Soundwave.

    I'm currently working on Gnaw. He has no CHUG version so I'll be using iGears version of it. I sometimes don't know which figure would be the best fit though.
