    Default Custom classics omnibot Downshift

    Made from a Wheeljack with the airdam trimmed back, spoiler removed, little fold-out wings removed and armada Optimus Prime head.

    Wheeljack's neck stump was way too big for the head. I have tried trimming it but any pressure on it forces the torso down, making it annoying. I may end up just glueing it on.

    The gun is from Silverstreak. I gave Wheeljack's original gun to my son who bought a Tracks without his gun.




    The shoulder stickers were carefully peeled off my junker Downshift.


    With fellow custom Omnibot Overdrive




    Another good thing about the mold is that it can make Downshift's "attack mode".

    Any ideas for Camshaft??

    Hey that works really well as Downshift!



    Very nice! I wish Hasbro were this clever.

    Nice work. Well executed. Did you do any painting? Can't seem to get the hang of white paint myself.

    Wow!! That looks really good! Did you paint over Wheeljacks red/green stripes or did you remove them somehow? I got my Energon Downshift the other day but am thinking of making him look less like Wheeljack. Good inspiration!!

    They'll probably steal the idea later

    Reckon it could be a Spacepet exclusive. Want us to discuss it with the powers that be?
