    I'm working on a G2 (not IDW) Jhiaxus custom, but I need a head. I'm thinking if I take one of these and hollow it out:

    Then, take one of these, trim it down, and stuff it inside Starscream's "helmet":

    I can achieve this look:

    It's basically a seeker helmet with a mean, too-human-looking-but-still-clearly-a-robot face and a mohawk. Am I nuts? Is there another head (or combo of heads) I should be considering?

    Seems like that would work quite well for what you want. I say go for it

    I really like the idea. Do the heads scale well to each other?

    I don't have the Voyager Starscream yet, but I thiiiiink it'll work. Finding a junker Starscream head has been the hardest part so far. :p

    I don't know how big the Hulk head is, but it looks like Hulk's face is wider than Starscream's head. So you may be better off cutting the Starscream head into componants that you glue on to the Hulk head, and then fill in space with putty/green stuff, rather than going to all the effort of trying to hollow out the helmet.

    i agree with that, or just use putty to sculpt the helmet on hulk to match the picture (since there is a difference from Jhiaxus and starscream's helmet)
