He looks, well, Grand, very impressive and a damn good custom. Whatever beat it in the competition had better be truly great.
Now THAT is a proper and fully realized upgrade. Intelligence and skill combined and had one kick-ass baby.
Mate, That is absolutely f#ck'n awesome. I don't know why this guy only placed 3rd @ Botcon because your Grandus was by far the best custom there on the day. By Far. Let me shout you a 'cos I hear Grandus can knock back a few!
Your attention to detail is fantastic and the finish looks top notch I have that aircraft carrier and dream of getting the parts together for a Grandus, Broadside or Tidal Wave, until then it is just awesome for minicons/legends.
I totally agree with these two sentiments (along with everyone else's "wow"). I really enjoy the genius in the kitbashing elements, and the simplicity to the harmony to everything. The way it's done makes it seem so obvious that it SHOULD have been officially made from those parts. I think that is one of the hallmarks to a great custom.
