Ever since we got Weirdwolf as the Botcon '07 exclusive I was obsessed with somehow updating the Decepticon Headmasters. I worked on Skullcruncher, Snapdragon and Apeface back in early 2008, but didn't get a decent camera until recently. I used the Cybertron Beast Megatron as the base for this, I thought the mold worked as a great update for Skullcruncher despite him being a T-Rex instead of a gator, especially the face.
Awesome, truely fantastic. Skullcruncher was always my favorite Transformer and it's always nice seeing him recreated in these Radicon Customs. You did a great job.
Thanks! I'll see if I can get more shots of them posted soon. Many thanks! I love the Universe mold for it being everyone except Grimlock, I own the Overkill mold and think that works better as well! Surprisingly, I think the Universe Grimlock head is almost a dead ringer for Snapdragon's, I'll try to get a thread started for him on Monday. Thank you sir! I remember seeing someone use the Classics Grimlock for him as a base and was surprised by how well it works on him, it really is a shame that they haven't revisited them a little more in the Universe line. Although, it's nice to see Hardhead getting some attention finally.
i really really like this! ive seen this done similarly with classics Grimlock before but i think this mold may actually work better
I must have missed the cyb beast megs when he came out, but WOW! I'm soo diggin' this group man, I love it when ppl recreate full teams in the universe line. I'm so trying this!!! :ideas stolen: HAHA!
ok this is what i call take a mold which was severally lacking and turning it into something i would by two off. great job and i love the flow of the deco
The group shot is awesome. I think you did a great job making homages to the Headmasters (Decepticon side).
Hey how come you never showed me these! I love 'em, Snapdragon looks especially great! You've really hit a new level over the last year or so! D/L
wow man, i love those...i wanted to make skullcruncher and mindwipe, just haven't gotten to it yet...but using that mold as skullcruncher works really well...and i love apeface and snapdragon...those are two i wish they'd redo in universe and make real triple changers out of, but that's a SUPER long shot...i may have to attempt to copy you on these... you going to make mindwipe?
I have to concur here dude. I'm going to totally rip you off and copy your Snapdragon and Skullcruncher right after I finish Grapple... and Omega Supreme... and everything else I have on the go, haha. Also I echo Lumpy: we want Mindwipe!
Many, many thanks everyone, I'm really glad you're enjoying this custom! My goal is to eventually get all of the Decepticon Headmasters 'updated'. I've been kicking ideas around for Fangry, Horri-Bull, and Squeezeplay and hope to have them customized in the near future. Thank you sir! I don't know why, but for some reason I thought I'd sent you pics of these! I may have rethought on account of my old camera being horrible. Not to worry though, I'll be peppering you with w.i.p pics now that I have a camera that doesn't think it's a camera-phone. I'm flattered and honored if I've inspired anyone , definitely post some pics when you finish! Mindwipe is on the list, I got may hands on the K.O deluxe Nightscream from beast machines that I thought would work well for him, but replacing the head is a big fat pain.
There's a KO Deluxe Nightscream? Replacing Nightscreams head can only be an improvement! They all look great dude!
