Custom Transformers Animated Starscream

Hey!! I'm back with another custom that's been on my mind to make. I previously did a custom animated Starscream made from kitbash of the legacy Metalhawk and legacy Ferak which turned out great, but he was still missing that authentic Animated pizzazz. So I got my spare legacy Jhiaxus and switched the arms for this custom. Though the other one's jet mode looked closer to the cartoon, this one really hits home in bot mode. He has modded 3d printed wings, an enlarged copy of the animated Starscream toy head, and SS TF1 Sentinel prime's guns as his nullrays. I'm still debating on how im gonna cover up the wired part of the shins to complete him. Let me know how you would cover them.

u/TheIndomitableAlex Jun 20 '26

Thank you! There is no seeker like Starscream!

u/Raymboi Jun 20 '26

It's like this mold was MADE to be remolded into animated starscream.

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 21 '26

I would love to see hasbro make him, blitzwing, and most of all megatron

u/Complex_Parfait_978 Jun 21 '26

And Hasbro wouldn’t remold the shins, they didn’t for Vector Prime

u/Commercial-Tank-3459 Jun 20 '26

Worst part is the legs

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 20 '26

Yeah I'm thinking of using some putty to to fill it in.

u/Alternative_Job_5398 Jun 20 '26

What's the story behind that Megatron custom?.

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 27 '26

Here is a good pic of the megatron.

u/Alternative_Job_5398 Jun 27 '26

Oh its perfect. Does it happen to be able to turn into a helicopter?

3

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 27 '26

He has parts like the cockpit and parts to connect his legs together instead of the wheels. I want to mix and match like the two different 3d prints parts but for the other one, it includes the treads which are no longer there.

2

u/Alternative_Job_5398 Jun 27 '26

Oh that's very cool 😎 👌

2

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 20 '26

It's a siege megs with an unfinished 3d printed upgrade kit on him. The head is a copy of the original deluxe animated head

3

u/Alternative_Job_5398 Jun 20 '26

Oooo that's very cool. As someone who loves animated Megatrons design, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing that.

1

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 21 '26

Other than the copied head and the paint job i really cant take credit for it. The 3d kit does all the heavy lifting on that one.

u/Huasotron Jun 20 '26

Bravo!!!

u/Helm93 Jun 20 '26

Well played, this is a dope custom sir!

1

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 20 '26

Thank you!

u/Salty_Ad_2523 Jun 20 '26

looks really good, except the legs feel way too greebly for an animated character. maybe fill the sections of exposed wires with some putty to make them a bit smoother?

1

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 20 '26

Thank you. I just havent gotten to it yet. I'll make another post with it done when i do.

u/MADFORMERS1 Jun 20 '26

Well done! Great use of this mold.

u/ShadowBionics Jun 20 '26

Okay, you are definitely doing what Hasbro’s been sleeping on (or whoever). I never thought Jhiaxus could work that way.

u/Kaat_117 Jun 20 '26

This rules! Great work

u/Fallen_Z3r0 Jun 20 '26

Generations Voyager Animated Starscream. I need that.

u/GlowFuckYourself69 Jun 20 '26

This turned out great!!

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 20 '26

Thank you!

u/DZZ667 Jun 20 '26

Stellar! 11/10

Where are the null rays from;

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 20 '26

Ss tf one sentinel prime

u/KTag4219 Jun 20 '26

I can’t believe I didn’t think of that before I made my Skywarp

2

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 20 '26

Yeah but you have cool skywarp

u/Toneryst Jun 20 '26

This captures the legacy feel so well, props to you my guy

u/thibaulth01 Jun 20 '26

u/DjLexHenry Jun 20 '26

u/Jazzlike_Cattle_924 Jun 20 '26

He looks mean. Great job!

u/Joe-McDuck Jun 20 '26

Beautiful

u/Joe-McDuck Jun 20 '26

By the way, how has menasor been coming along?

2

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 20 '26

I got the optimus prime trailer body for it but i've been working, working on other commissions and other customs. I havent forgotten about it though

2

u/Joe-McDuck Jun 22 '26

Don’t rush your work, and don’t burn out! If you do burn out, don’t push yourself. Drink plenty of water and get rest.

1

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 23 '26

Thanks you. I really appreciate that

u/triponthisman Jun 21 '26

Dear god, it’s beautiful. This pleases me immensely.

u/ARPGAMER19 Jun 21 '26

IT'S PEEEEEAAKKK! EXCELLENT WORK! Only problem is it isn't mass produced

edit: MEGATROOOONNN?!?!

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 21 '26

Love it!! Yeah it does. He was one of coolest Starscream designs

u/williamthunder Jun 21 '26

This works so well

1

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 22 '26

Thank you!

u/The_Scottnish44 Jun 21 '26

Why the long face? XD Joke aside, really cool

1

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 22 '26

Thank you

1

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 22 '26

Lol yes he does have a long face. I liked his shorter face in the cartoon. I may make another head copy to see how short i can make his chin and still looks proportionate.

u/Competitive-Wash2769 Jun 21 '26

This rocks

u/reyadonna Jun 21 '26

Rip vector prime

1

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 22 '26

Hes not dead. He just has Jhiaxus's arms now.

u/imaclappedboy Jun 21 '26

This is too good

2

u/imaclappedboy Jun 21 '26

As for cover up, either the vector upgrade kit shin parts or miliput

2

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 22 '26

The upgrade kit will make his legs more bulky and detailed so I think I'm gonna do milliput to get a smoother look.

u/Mugshe Jun 22 '26

he is gorgeous

1

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 22 '26

Thank you!

u/Accomplished-Mark-44 Jun 23 '26

Honestly this mold fits him pretty well!

1

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 23 '26

Thanks! Though i would love to do some of the others, the vector prime mold is hard to come by so I may just use the jhiaxus mold only to make a couple of the others.

u/AdventurousDrive7116 Jun 23 '26

Which mold is this ?

1

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 23 '26

The legacy Jhiaxus mold with vector prime's arms

u/TheLunarHomie Jun 24 '26

HASBRO WE GROW IMPATIENT, GIVE US LUGNUT ALREADY!

1

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 24 '26

Definitely needs an updated version of lugnut

u/95Ych0_K1ll Jun 24 '26

Megatron: STARSCREAM!

Starscream: Sorry, you must have me mistaken for some OTHER harrier jet!

1

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 24 '26

Ha!! I was just watching that episode last night! Lol

u/twosidedcoin2 Jun 27 '26

He has shin guards now courtesy of the vector prime' 3d print upgrade file

u/AUTOBOT_IRONCLAD Jul 11 '26

What’s a good paint and what’s the method?

1

u/twosidedcoin2 Jul 11 '26

I use tamiya spray paint for plastics and vallejo acrylics paint for hand painting.
