Inspired by chasformers design on TFW2005 (I think that's the right name...)
Used a deluxe Optimus Prime from Vert, the chest panel from a Cybertron Blaster and the head from a Real Gear Viewfinder.
I'm not completely sold on the head but it was the only one I had with a visor. It's a very snug fit for transformation - so snug that it's easier just to remove it. I did think of using a Robot Heroes Blaster head but thought it looked too cartoony.
I used a soldering iron to take the wheels off and glue them on back to front to look like speakers.

Looks quite nice. Who needs to buy toys when you can make whatever you want yourself.

Thanks for the comments... for posterity here's an earlier version. FOC Blaster will be replacing this.

Really good and there seems to be a lot of improvement there. You are one of a kind. It must feel sweet to make a custom for nearly any figure you could want and your creations show that. I wish I was as gifted as you.:D:o

You just keep crankin' them out huh Snakey? :D - Yet, they never end up being any lesser in quality and amazement than the preceding custom! :eek:
