I'm never been one to leave a Transformer unaltered, and after finally moving into my own home and setting being able to set up a work area to dabble in my hobby. Here's some of my finished projects.

FOC Grimlock. Panel lines and red crotch area added, also I gave him a much needed gun, a modified Classics Jetfire gun (also my first attempt at drybrushing) and gutted his sword and added an extra 2 inches of blade. And internally I add some stability to his shoulders so they now lock into place and he also still transforms.

Transformers Prime Wheeljack...I havent done much just swapped out his chest from the Beast Hunters mold and added some panel lines.

Leo Prime.... I added a real Primes head and yes I did buy a second Leo Prime just for the leg swap :o

FOC Jazz..I have modded the feet for better degree of movement and I kind of went to town with my Gundum markers, because he was just to white for my liking.

Prime Arcee...Just added some red, black highlights...and gave her some new weapons.

Classics Jetfire, A bit of work has gone into this one, a complete new set of feet. I have removed most of the ratcheting joint for better posability. I have modded the forearms to add a bit of bulk but also streamline him and I like the results, I didn't like the arm cannons to big. Also stripped him down completely just to be able to get the wings to fold up a bit more. Would not recommend on stripping him down, its a bit painfull:(

Classics Ironhide..I managed to polish this turd. He no longer looks like a sumo wrestler. There was a fair bit of work internally to make this work to raise his head up (much of it has already been covered by other people) His wheel now fit behind his back, His head is now on a ball joint and he has new hand thanks to a donor Prime Beasthunter Wheeljack which was already sacrificed for a earlier project.

How many Wheeljacks do's it take to repair a Ironhide.

Really nice work, I've been going to do the mods to ironhide and ratchet for years.

Wow! Nice updates. I could not pick your Jetfire changes until i read about them and sometimes that is the best thing. I love that Jetfire mold but i agree with the changes you made, it sounds a far more fun/playable toy now.

And I forgot to mention that Jetfire has the standard and necessary leg extensions:p:p:p:p

Do you have pictures of them in their alternate modes with the mods, I'd like to see how if at all they've changed (especially Jetfire and wheeljack)

Generally my bots stay in robot mode....there's no real difference with wheeljack, I would take photos of jet fire but he's currently in pieces. Doing some minor tidy ups around the feet, I'm not happy with the finish. But I'll see what I can do...foc Jazz look really different....

It looks like Classics Voyager Optimus' head.

It is the classics head...unfortunately due to limited space in the chest area I cant transformer him unless I remove the head, but most of my transformers live in robot mode anyway, it was the only part that disappointed me about this mod.:(:(:(
Note: the head was put on a balljoint as well, which I didn't mention before

I can say I am happy with Jetfire now, I have given him some paint apps to hide the mods I have done on him, mainly where I filled in gaps around the feet and joints where I added the bulk to the forearms.

Really like your 'How it should have been' mods. The paint jobs are great.

I like the red on Jetfire, apart from hiding some of the Mod edges it breaks him up and makes him a whole lot more interesting to look at as opposed to just the white.

I'd like to see a Jazz alt mode if you're willing to put one up. It certainly looks a lot different in robot mode.

Generations Rhinox....I've done a little bit of structural work. I have replaced the knee pin with a nut and bolt fittings...model aircraft parts are great from my local hobby shop:D:D:D good part is you cant see the nut as its hidden. Also I gave him some much needed heal extensions to tip him forward just enough to make him stand up all by himself. hes no long a floppy piece of crap between these 2 mods.

Particularly nice work on Sandstorm. The panel lining fits him extremely well. :) Omega's is subtle.
