    So this guy has been a customizing holy grail for me for a while now and finally came together.

    I wanted to make these guys without using Combiner Wars figures, but I ended up using a bunch of combiner wars figure parts so there’s no real escape from that. Anyway here we go:

    Wing and Waver

    Faces

    Alt modes

    And now Wingwaver

    Waver is going to get his legs changed up. White paint is awful so I splurged on a Rook to use.

    Mach and Tackle

    Machtackle

    Just need some thrusters to add onto Mach.

    Next Dash and Tacker

    Combined weapon in progress

    The Altmodes are a bit siege Astrotrainy, Waver needs a leg redux and a lot of the paint needs touch ups but ultimately this is it. Thanks for checking it out.

    The combined mode looks like the old FOC Bruticus toy but WORLDS better looking and also the fact that the thing is six figures

    Waver’s new legs lock in better for Landcross’ thighs and make a better overall silhouette.

    The effort you put into this combiner is mind-boggling to me, as you managed to 'modernize' the simpler designs from long ago into this take on them.

    On an unrelated note, it is thanks to your project that I learned the name of a transformer I had on its lonesome ... which was a pirated version of Waver.

    It is good to see G1: Victory still on the mind of viewers, as that series was part of my childhood--dim memory of it as it remains. But the way that two bots could combine into a bigger one? Mindblowing, back then! :D

    Astonishing, absolutely incredible. I love Wave (assuming that's the boat, it's been a while since I've studied Japanese characters) as he pulls off the most amazing boat form ever. Hoping we get more boat-formers in general, and I hope Hasbro, Takara or both take on your designs if they decide to make a Landcross. You should be a hecka proud for what you have pulled off! Cannot wait to see another, more and future works.
