    Another go on the Energon-to-Classics Shockwave custom.

    Last time I went with Treadshot's arms entirely, a different cannon, and no LED.

    This time I am decided I wanted to keep the Energon shoulders but still swapped out his arms and built a new cannon. I will also be installing an eye LED. He will be transformable.

    UPDATE: Upper body 95% finished (paint and LED installed with switch on back and battery inside the figure (easy to remove).

    Here's my previous version - I will go for a similar paint job but different purple and probably less black.

    A good choice in arms is the Cybertron Scattershot mold, on my custom on here they worked quite well.

    Sounds good if you can keep the light from being too bright. Just my opinion but I think a nice glow is much more realistic than small suns for eyes (of AN eye in this case).
    Either way though, that paint job in the last pic of the one you did before is mind bogglingly beautiful.
