Looks completely scrathbuilt. I prefer the look of the Jizatoys one personally.

Looks like an extensive kitbash to me. Those arms look like they're from Star Wars Transformers, the legs remind me of Classics Bumblebee/Cliffjumper and that face looks awfully familiar to me but I can't place it. They all look retooled though. I wonder if that slingshot came from another toy or if it was made from scratch (e.g.: sculpey). If so, that's some darn good sculpting work. :)

It's clear that a lot of effort has gone into this. The paint apps are fantastic - good use of metallic oranges.

I think the Jizaitoys Wheelie is a completely scratchbuilt garage kit and not a kitbash like this one appears to be.

I think the head is from a Classics Rodimus.

Sorry. Poor choice of words on my behalf. By saying scratch-built, I meant that there was no one dominant toy. Kitbash is a much more appropriate term.

I actually prefer this one, shiny shiny sparkly sparkly:D. I like the metallic paint job as you can tell:D.

The sparkles do look nice but I prefer the aesthetic of the Jizaitoys Wheelie.
