    Don't know why or how this works, but it works for me.I was trying to femme up deluxe Beast Hunters Starscream to be a better fembot, and had a headless Arcee BH sitting around and decided to Frankenstein them together. Modified SS biceps to take a ball that would fit for Arcee's fore arms. Then wanted to try and switch the thighs out, but couldn't figure it out. I just started folding the attached Arcee legs already on SS when viola! A VTOL jet emerged from the carnage by surprise. Cool. I was already going to call this OC Flatspin before this, on account of being a fembot not having much of a chest...and being a plane, but this just made it even better with two rotating blades made from the old moto wheel. Score! Cut and trimmed a bit to take away some unneeded spikes and curves, trimmed the waist to give her more posability and stuck a place holder GDO Sandstorm head on. Needs all sorts of paint and mods but kinda cool so far. Dunno if anyone has found this yet but the pieces fit together rather strangely well. Reminds me of Prime Megatron all itty bitty like.

    Will probably get this Talon head to finish it before painting.

    Go for it bud! I may not get around to finishing this for a while. It just kinda came from iced-in boredom, and now is on the project list. Love to see what comes out from y'all doing one too! Just a hint though, the front claw wing things on the nosecone have to be cut off in order for the legs to sit more flush up front, and the legs will only fold one certain way to make it look right...Have fun with it!

    Nice! That could make for a good Thrust, too.
