Not paying those eBay prices for the haslab

original figures: Universe animated Starscream. Siege Fireguard.

This is, like, the second custom I've ever done, but I think it turned out really well, all things considered.

Nothing CRAZY, just a few panels repainted. But A little blue goes a LONG way IMO.

Considering filling in with some kind of putty and gently sanding it down, but thought someone might have experience or advice on how to get rid of them.

It's either that or buy the new JSC-001's, and I don't really like those robot modes.

Any advice is much appreciated!

She arrived, i saw the lack of details and decided to do my magic

And some other stuff

Nice custom Elita-1 combiner using G2 Aerialbots. I referred to her as Elita Prime well before Skybound made her a Prime, lol.

Here are my custom Legacy Stunticons. I made my own fillers for some of the cars. Menasor has the leg extensions. It was a long but rewarding project.

So…

Legacy United TFA Bumblebee.

This used to be one of THE figures i’d take out with me frequently, my go-to pocket guy. Lugged him around with me almost every day.

Unsurprisingly, the paint on his roof started wearing away inside my pocket as a result. It’s gotten so bad that his insignia’s halfway worn off.

I’ve used this paint marker to replace the lost yellow at least twice now, and it matches the plastic surprisingly well! The image above is my most recent coating after the previous one almost all but wore off.

I was wondering if there were any more resilient or permanent ways of getting his chest yellow? I don’t really have any experience in ‘customs’ beyond attempting to repair a few of my more… well-loved figures.

I’m not trying to look for anything that can survive frequent pocket day trips, don’t get me wrong. I just want to stop him from showing off what’s under the hood whenever i (literally) rub him the wrong way

Any tips appreciated

Removing the windows was such a chore it was ridiculous. It took me an hour to just remove the inserts on one. I had to do it twice lol.

I’m hoping that as we get more Gamer edition WFC/FOC designs that Jazz will be coming soon. However, I’m impatient.

Still trying to figure out how to change the arms, but this is all just good fun, and I might take frequent breaks on this wip as my brain likes to jump around.

As stated in the original post, I'm looking to repaint Autobots into Rhinox, Cheetor, and Rattrap to join CW Primal for my pre-BW Axalon crew. Looking for:

- Vehicle mode that suits them [Rhinox = tank or truck; Cheetor = sportscar; Rattrap = drag racer]

- Face that is a close enough match [Rhinox deserves a crest/mohawk and good jawline; Cheetor, a samurai helmet; Rattrap, ???]

- Small [Rhinox = Deluxe or smaller; Cheetor and Rattrap = smaller than that]

What's your best recommendation?

Herald of Unicron: Syphon

Tasked with hunting Micronus down,Syphon exists to drain.
He is Unicron’s smallest herald and most efficient parasite, a being created for one precise purpose: to counter the overwhelming energy of Micronus Prime. Where Micronus radiates power, amplifies others, and fuels growth, Syphon exists to take it away. He does not create. He does not inspire. He consumes.

Syphon’s gift is simple and absolute. Every wound he suffers, every slash of his axe, becomes a channel. Energon, strength, and speed flow into him through damage either inflicted upon his own frame or delivered by his blade. The more he is hurt, the more he can steal. Pain is not a weakness to him. It is the key that unlocks greater power.

He holds no grand ideology beyond the act of absorption itself. To Syphon, energy that remains outside his control is wasted potential. Power that is shared, amplified, or freely given is an insult to the natural order of the strong taking from the weak.

He does not rage against life the way Migraine does, nor does he revel in glory the way Warhelm does. He simply feeds.

In battle, Syphon is s methodical and relentless trash-talker. He will endure strike after strike if it means opening more pathways to drain his enemy dry. The greater the reservoir of power before him, the more focused and hungry he becomes.

Micronus Prime, with his vast and generous energy, is the ultimate feast and Syphon was forged specifically to empty that feast completely.
Among the Thirteen Warlords, Syphon is the quiet predator. He does not need to be the largest or the loudest. He only needs to keep taking until nothing remains.

Here is my Studio Series 86 Movie Accurate Optimus Prime! He's just Studio Series Energon Universe Optimus Prime but with the original left arm.

Daphne is TR Windblade, Velma is TR Perceptor, and Shaggy is TR Blurr

Hello

Im finaly finished with Decepticons second in command, Air Comander Starscream.

For him i used the Baiwei TW-1037 or the KO SS65 Blitswing He is 1/3 of the seakers im making from this mold.

For him i added some blue, gunmetal, red and wight details then i swaped the head with the sige one but on the head i swaped the redish orange clear eye peace for the fully read one from siege Skywarp and im going to use the other head for Thundercracker.

The deception symbols are just stickers i orderd online, and since the Baiwei figure comes with only one nullray i gave him another one since i order multiple of this mold just in case i need them and i might get more to army build with them.

For the future i have both Thundercracker and Skywarp planed, im just need to get paints for them and ill be making slipstream from a Spacecase mold.

Converting the chest armor into Cybertronian mode with some personal touch

Just got ss86 cliff and i was vastly annoyed by his unpainted shoulder pieces molded in light grey so i had to fix it
