Edit: I'd been sitting on a stack of Thundercrackers for these guys for about a year, but the final push to do them was when my son got Skydive on Transformers Legends and I just kept getting Fireflights. :mad:
I used a mixture of G1, KO G1 and movie parts for these (the only movie part was Fireflight's wings). I used the head from the Leader-1 Starscream conversion kit for Slingshot.
Regrettably Skydive and Fireflight have exposed head syndrome in alt mode. Air Raid is a part-former - you just have to pull his nose cone off and reposition it when transforming.
I started off using metal pins for the tail assemblies but realised plastic twist ties were just as effective and easier to use.
I particularly like Fireflight's jet mode and Slingshot's robot mode.
I have some G1 Aerialbots stickers on order from Reprolabels which should finish these off nicely.
I had to paint Air Raid and Fireflight twice after mistaking a can of grey primer for clear dullcote :rolleyes:
And a moment's silence for the KO classics Seeker I destroyed figuring out how to do these.

Awesome work, can't wait for more pics :-)

Thanks: first post updated with more pics!

I am always impressed by customs

These are no different :D

They look fantastic, nice work!

Dude, awesome stuff. Woulda been difficult to figure out how to create them. Well done.

Like

These look amazing. :eek::)

Very nice work, loving the custom wings and head sculpts.

Loving these! Any chance of making them combine? :)

Probably but it wouldnt look like Superion :p.
My main aim was to get the robot/jet modes right. I might re-visit them later but right now I want to take a break from working on them.

Top Notch Work as always dude!!! :D

Creative use of the moulds. Very nice!:)
