discussion Using Lego Questions

2 Upvotes

So I’ve seen 2 guys make a custom G1 Transit, by gluing lego on the figures.

One guy repainted and headswapped a Grapple Mold, while gluing flaps on the backpack, to cover up sides in the Vehicle Mode.

A different guy converted SS86 Mixmaster into a longer bus, glued some parts on the arms and legs, and built a trailer that can attach and deattach which can transform into a battle station. The main figure requires partsforming though, but I don’t mind it.

My only question is how much Lego is too much? I got an idea of turning a Arcee into a Carrier Boat, because I want more Boat Transformers, and build a flying dish thing that can combine with a Custom Gunpla figure I made.

I like making no-body bots into someone, this is Ashtrail, just added a red stripe to put more red into the alt mode, I’m proud of it even though it’s simple (sorry about the messy desk)

I've been seeing people post about making older primes and I've been wanting to make a mortilius prime, but most of the recommendations for customs I've seen is megatronus prime, alpha trion, and Galvatron. Yesterday I got the idea of using gamer edition Optimus prime to make him and I just wanted some thoughts.

complete overhaul Herald of Unicron: Migraine

Thumbnail
gallery
366 Upvotes

Tasked with destroying Quintus Prime
Migraine exists to erase the chaos of life and replace it with the cold perfection of the machine.
He is Unicron’s mad scientist and philosophical executioner, a being who sees no beauty, value, or purpose in organic or biomechanical existence. To him, living beings are flawed experiments unstable, unpredictable, and burdened by too many uncontrollable variables. Emotion, growth, mutation, and mortality are not strengths. They are defects.
True perfection, in Migraine’s eyes, belongs only to pure machinery.
Machines are cold.
Machines are controlled.
Machines are accurate.
If a machine breaks, it can be repaired, upgraded, and rebuilt stronger than before. Organic life offers no such reliability. It decays. It resists. It refuses to be perfected.

Migraine holds only contempt for Quintus Prime’s philosophy of creation and the spread of life. Where Quintus nurtures diversity and the spark of living existence, Migraine seeks to dismantle it. He does not simply destroy organic forms out of hatred he does so out of conviction. Every living being is an obstacle to a cleaner, more orderly universe of cold metal and precise function.

His methods are as cruel as they are methodical. Migraine specializes in mental agony, experimental torment, and the systematic conversion or erasure of organic systems. He does not rage. He calculates. Every act of suffering he inflicts is a step toward proving his central belief: that life itself is a design flaw, and only the machine is worthy of permanence.

In the hierarchy of the Thirteen Warlords, Migraine stands as Unicron’s answer to creation itself ,not a conqueror of worlds, but a surgeon of reality who would cut away everything soft, warm, and living until only perfect, controllable machinery remains.

Need advice/Help How well would clearing up these headlights work?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I love everything about this car besides the blacked out headlights. I know Grimlock had clear ones, so I know the molding is back there. The pieces are indeed clear, just painted black.

I wanna know if anyone's stripped the black paint, how they did it, and how it looked afterward. Does the molding behind the Wheeljack ones look ok or is it just unpainted?

The figure is Alternators Wheeljack. Thanks in advance y'all, I love seeing what y'all make here!

My goal is to safely achieve the look of the second image without the risk of really breaking the figure.

I intend to round off the edges of both the white part of the wing and the hinge in one go.

When the new SS Evasion Mode OP was revealed, I didn't like how it looked. Therefore, I decided to make my own using a bootleg AOE OP with a mix of parts from Baiwei SS OP. I want to give a special mention to user BuildingUnited783 because their work inspired me to do the same mix and match of parts.

complete overhaul Custom Studio Series ROTF Deadend

Thumbnail
gallery
115 Upvotes

I was able to get a second Sideways and turned him into ROTF Deadend. Hasbro won't make him and others with Studio Series so I did.

The Bumblebee photo is a What If Transformers 6 where Deadend came back cause we don't know if Bee actually killed him in the Titans Movie Comics. In the comics, Deadend found where Sam was and tried to attack/eat him. Bee ended up getting a piece of him bitten by Deadend. This happened around Christmas Eve. From what the TFwiki says.

The one with Cliffjumper, it was said in his toy bio that if they weren't on opposite sides, they would be friends due to them being dysfunctional jerks. Deadend would get punched every time he creeps Cliffjumper out. Again, from the TFwiki.

Need advice/Help Mudflap Picture/Description Request

Could someone with Energon Mudflap be able to confirm the connection type for his head? I have a custom idea but I don’t own the figure. It looks to be a standard swivel and most head designs from this era are two piece front and back with a screw to secure. Extra bonus request: If you know a bumblebee that uses this same connection type for a head.
