    That would be cool! I just wanna wait to see how it comes out first so y'all can see it and decide if you want him to proceed. If the update is good enough, then yeah! I'll pay ya to ship it out.

    Yeah, sounds good. Anyhow, it'd be a month or more for me to get the replacement (BBTS pre-order...) so if you come up with something that works before then, go with that. Oh, and if it turns out good and I get a copy, I may need to find someone to paint it for me--not one of my talents.

    Sounds good!
    He is pretty good at painting! He actually makes tabletop miniatures and paints them himself.
    I have been trying to get him into making transformer upgrades for a while and he actually likes the IDW designs a lot, that's why he finally said yes! Lol

    I'm crossing my fingers it comes out looking great.

    I'd love a replacement supercharger for the Earthrise Sunstreaker/Cordon/Spinout mold that transforms into a gun, something more complex than just sticking it as-is into the figure's hand.

    A Perfect Effect God Neptune hands & feet set. Perhaps a repaint of their Volcanicus kit? I don’t ask for much.

    Doorwings for Newage Jazz.

    Going with Sword for SS86 Grimlock. I'd love a new core Primal for PotP Optimal Optimus similar to PE's Jinrai Prime or whatever they called that figure, too. Also, a bit of an odd one, but I'd honestly love for someone to take and make a scaled up take on Iron Factory's old City Commander hammer for Siege Magnus. That hammer seems like such a great way to work around Magnus's gauntlet, I'd love to see it done up there. Also, just like...a bunch of blast effect kits would be nice!

    Shoes for Siege sideswipe. His feet are flat and he could do with being a little taller.

    While far from needed, it would be cool to have new spider legs for Kingdom BA that were orange and hyper-articulated.

    Something I would like a lot more is a replacement turret piece for ER G2 Megatron that could convert to a more G2-styled shoulder gun in robot mode. (honestly an upgrade for the turret-sword thing would be nice in general, it's not very elegant imo, the Siege sword was better).

    Instead of the IDW Sword for Cyclonus, I would love to see a pair based off of his Animated appearance.

    Different heels for the Runna twins to get rid of the stupid fake wheel. (I don't care for G1 accuracy)

    And if anyone feels like going back to old figures, some arm covers for TLK Voyager Megatron.

    I'd like a replacement chest panel for SS 86 Grimlock (clear) and a G1 toy sword.

    I'd also like more humans in the style of Warrior Workshop Scientist Couple.

    Once the Galactic Odyssey Modulator set comes out, a color-matched set of weapons and space-themed attachments for it and Sky Lynx - radar dish, extra ramp pieces, replacement right hand attachment for Ironworks (maybe a grappling arm?), I wouldn't say no to new heads to differentiate them, stuff like that.

    Whoa!! That looks fucking BRILLIANT!!! The only change I would make would be to draw the sides of the face in thinner when viewed front on - particularly at the jaw hinge. Otherwise that is BANG ON THE MONEY

    @SuperGiantThing I think these show the shape of his jaw and cheekbones better.

    I'd like to see a replacement trailer for Earthrise/Kingdom Optimus Prime. The current one is too small, the artillery robot is WAY too small and looks like an afterthought, the rear door/shield gimmick is a joke, the bottom of the trailer and the rear wheel "box" look way too hollow, and the entire thing looks flimsy and cheap. I'd also like to see a better option for the wheel on Prime's torso in robot mode; they look weird on his back.
