A repainted Soundwave with a new head.
Soundwave was my son's but he swapped it with me after he lost one of the thighs. I made two new ones from classics Bumblebee's forearms. The knees were a bit floppy but a coat of paint soon fixed that.
The spare wheel is from a DOTM Crankcase.
I had to slightly widen the head cavity.
The head is from an armada Smokescreen. It doesn't quite fit the animated aesthetic. I would have preferred using an animated Snarl, but the only one I could find at Nexus was $35, whereas Smokescreen was $3....

Excellent! I think I have to disagree with you about the head, I think it works very well.

That is awesome.

You are right about the head though. All it needs is a bigger chin. :P
Still looks good though.

Nice choice! You see the bones for excellent customs in so many toys. This is another one i never would have thought of.

Any chance the transformation would allow you to cut into that low chassis so it has more clearance underneath?

That looks awesome!!!

I have always hoped for an animated Brawl, I have always hoped that TFCC would do it.

Wow, now you've shown that I reckon the mold definitely makes a better Brawn than a Soundwave. Well done!

I loved the animated series. Your Brawn fits in perfectly.

barring the head I think this new colour scheme is more reminiscent of outback. Makes me think I need to stock up on a few soundwaves to store for 5 years in the hopes that I get time to repaint them.
