Yeah, so it turns out I couldn't just leave it at Groundbreaker and Special Edition Solus needed a shell.
Seeing as the Decepticon version was Octopunch, who better to be the Autobot Solus but the other aquatic Autobot pretender?

 

Cool custom

 

Cheers! I'll be glad when they're out of my system!  

 

That's awesome! How'd you do the chest?

 

Milliput (Superfine white) sculpting, then carved the shark eyes into it, it turns out Metalhawk/Vector Prime's abs and torso muscles are already nicely toothsome when repainted right!

 

Great work, but it makes me sad for the missed opportunities in the PotP line.

 

That's a driving factor behind these customs to be honest.

 

I really wish they'd at least have made Waverider. He was my only Pretender as a kid and I wanted a new official one.

 

That really bugged me, especially as we know the moulding exists from the failed Grand Max kickstarter.
It'd be a nice surprise if the Select Series threw us a bone and did the missing main Pretender and a few more wee suit fellas, I doubt it though.

 

Just Beautiful
