    Thanks! For Thrust I needed:
    1 Classics Ramjet
    1 Classics Starscream
    1 set of original G1 Thrust wings

    -taking Starscream body, you switch heads and put Ramjets head instead.
    -Crazy glue the wing hinges...They do not need to rotate anymore.
    -Starscream's wings need to be cut *
    -G1 Thrust's wings need to be cut *
    *You decide of the style of wings you want
    -crazyglue 2 remaining parts together (sanding and lacque thinner needed to soften the plastics so they glue very well together.)
    You may want to trim the wings to give your new ramjet more posability
    because if you dont, the wings will be in the way of his legs and his arms.
    When transforming him, you have to remove the wings and switch sides.
    Thus the need to perfectly glue the g1 wing with the classics starscream wing
    The way I did my wings, you cant see the glue joint. It's under the thrusters red "hood".

    I think I would have modified the body a bit more for Cosmo, but still a great looking custom.

    I never would've thought in a million years to make Cosmos out of a pair of binoculars, but it works really well.

    Awesome work! I, too planned my custom seekers long b4 the botcon set came out...

    ANYWAY, what did you make the top part of cosmos out of? Did you build on something or totally create the top section?

    Who did you use for Long Haul? It looks good! Cosmos too! Repeinture-le aux couleurs du Canadien et renomme le Cosom (comme dans hockey cosom). :p
