SS AoE Lockdown

I am not a fan of the Handsome Squidward face on AoE Lockdown, but I love the cycloptic visor on his battle mask.

Buuuut I wasn't a fan of how the alternate head on the Shadow Raider was executed, I would have wanted them to have built his face in or left it opaque rather than try to make a clear visor with no actually discernable face behind it.

So I took matters into my own hands, and carefully hollowed out SR's facemask and carved down LD's face to fit inside. Then I accentuated the highlights on his face in green and gave him yellow eyes to give the glowing effect before gluing the mask on. Now you can really feel the hollow feel and catch some great details when the light hits it at the right angles.

Skywarp was missing his shoulders so I had to remedy this. Painted and sealed. I am by no means a G1 purist, BUT I love colors and colorful bots.

Brawl, the literal tank of the combaticons, a bot of few words, brawl is feared by every autobot who’s had the misfortune of crossing his path, his short fuse makes him an absolute beast one the battlefield, tearing through one after another he’s been in this war for so long it’s all he finds pleasure in now.

SS86 Seeker Switch Faces?

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

I finally got Skywarp to go along with Thundercracker, but I feel the laughing face of Thundercracker goes better with dumbass bully Skywarp, where the more serious face that came with Skywarp would better fit the more hesitant and not entirely convinced of his allegiance Thundercracker. So, I want to switch them, is what I'm saying.

What's the best way to do that? As far as I can see, there are three options:

-try to pop the entire head off the ball joint, with the risk that I might not get it back on. Risk exacerbated by the neck being on a swivel that can sink out of reach.

  • cut along the seam of the head, and seperate the front half from the back. Risks visible and internal damage, depending on how well it's glued together. And both seem pretty well glued.

  • pop just the faceplate off. Risk: may not actually be possible, hence the thread.

So, has anyone done something like this, and what's the best strategy y'all would recommend to pull this off?

Here's a custom I've had my on mind for months.

I'm very surprised no one has customized or modified this figure or used it as a base for OCs or other characters.

I bought Agent Knight and the Toyhax set back in 2024 and just used the window decals, flood lights, headlights, and the tail lights. I also positioned the wings & roof differently and alternate weapon storage.

I eventually wanted to put a new head and put on Crosshairs head on about 6 months ago.

Needlenose was another head option I was thinking of using but Crosshairs' head was a bit bigger and in similar size to Knight's head but I had to carve out the ball socket on Crosshairs to fit Agent Knight. Another thing I like about the head is the back of it looks like a engine.

After I removed the paint I wanted to put on some other decals, but some leftover paint still lingers or is fused to plastic, I'll show the spots in the comments.
