    Just wanted to see what everyone thought of this idea, many of you may remember my original foc Kup was made with a modded foc onslaught but I was tinkering with foc U.M. and the tank Megs from the 2 pack that came out a while back and came up with this so far, definitely would be done in the same paints as my first and would do a bit more modding first.... so I guess the question is should I change him or leave him be and if I leave him be any ideas on what character the new body should be?

    This mold works way better as Kup than it does Onslaught. Great job!

    I actually really like the Onslaught body as Kup, what you have done with it is fantastic! As for the new body, that is a pretty cool idea and looks good as a half-track style Cybertronian vehicle. I think it would make for a cool take on a WFC Pyro!

    Stick with what you have. It looks great and I don't really dig the treads on Kup.

    If you went that route you could even use a FoC Optimus head or use the FoC Ultra Magnus head and add a faceplate.

    I think what you have there with the UM halftrack is an awesome start to an FOC Inferno/grapple

    Those are both great ideas and I don't think there have been too many WFC/FOC takes on either of those two.

    I think you should make both. Both of those are really slammin'.

    So what do you guys think about these based on your input. I had a couple left over starscream heads and wasn't sure what to do with them but they fit perfectly and thought they'd work for g1 inferno and grapple. Was thinking U.M. for grapple and O.P. as inferno. Then I modded a foc prime head and putt on foc swindles body with idw scoops legs for a possible pyro. What do you guys think?

    Looking good so far man! If you can find a way to do Inferno's signature head "wings" that would really kick it up a notch! Pyro is looking awesome,if I may suggest, try to grab the Pyro gun off Shapeways, it's sold desperate from the inferno/grapple/botcon Sparks to Lsotw Pyro conversion kit and would be an awesome BFG for him ( since the gun is scaled for a Voyager) only other thing I can think of other than paint would be a shoulder Gatling for Pyro, not sure how that would be accomplished though.

    enh, looks like Dion more than anything else.

    Don't like that you killed a scoop for not much of a change in aesthetics and puny legs though.

    Otherwise neat ideas for magnus/prime
