    Default Simple Superion Maximus Upgrade

    Saw this on you tube and thought it looks alot better than the original. All it takes is a Crossover Hulk and less than 20 mins of your time. Simple and easy upgrade. Now to repaint in G1 colors.

    Now that I have Bruticus its time to try this on him. Its in early stages, I need to secure the arms a bit better and find out how to mount the feet.

    Thanks Guys!

    As requested photos of connections. Hopefully someone will come up with a better idea but this suits me fine for now.

    Firstly disassemble hulk. You dont need to break any part so if your not happy with the custom you can always put him back together.

    Leg connections

    You need to remove the guns under the cockpit of Sky Shadow and Terradive. Just plug and play after removing them.

    You can add a peg to the front of the leg for better stability. I will be using the peg from the energon weapon that came with Sky Shadow and Terradive.

    Arm connections

    I used the energon chip as the connector. Drill a hole in the middle of the energon chip. I used 2 flat head screws 3/16"(1.5cm to 2cm) and 6 3/16" nuts to secure hulk's arm to the energon chip.

    See photos for reference.

    I bought a Hulk figure MOSC from Gumtree yesterday for $15. I have another one coming from Tropisetron.

    Now I need to find a Bruticus Maximus to apply the same upgrade.

    That is the most ingenious thing I've seen here in living memory, and heaps better than a third-party option.
