Turning Fancy Cell Toys' Transportation Captain into a proper MP Astrotrain. Boots are entirely scratch built styrene and add more than a half inch to the figure. Modified Solar Storm Grapple head adds another 1/4" for a combined height of almost a full inch to the figure, scaling him up to proper MP scale. The rear, booster section had to be heavily rebuilt to enlarge the cavity and accept the new head. Hands are from an MP seeker and the rifle is an original G1 Astrotrain rifle. Smaller than the stock one which, I feel, helps adds to his mass.
Really dig that head! I used Chirguh's myself but I'm tempted to swap as that's alot less detailed/more MP like.
Why didn't they make it this way to begin with? If another 3rd party ( or the one that made this for that matter ) released this as an upgrade kit, I'd buy the toy.
