Awesome progress shots!
i'll definitely be following along your work!
*subscribed*
you should think about having 3 separate threads for each figure as they are just too awesome to squish all into one thread. lol

Subscribers are entitled to a behind the scenes preview .

Have you ever thought about using classics hot rod instead of universe sideswipe, just to mix things up a bit and have 5 different vehicle moulds?

I have considered Hot Rod but his alt mode is longer than sideswipe. Another down side his height in bot mode. I will just modify sideswipe to differentiate in alt mode etc. remove spoiler.

hey, i've never seen a classics OP (helicopter prime) used as a mixmaster before. most of the time people use energon barricade which is damn expensive to get now due to the popularity of the FP crossfire kits.

Just wanted to try something different. I will have to modify this figure make him less prime-like.

what is a lego knight? is it the same as a bionicle joint?

also, im very curious to see how you plan to use only lego connectors to avoid modding or puttying up connector joints straight onto the limbs...
never seen that done before without modding the figures.

Lego knights(ratchet type) have different joints compared to bionicle(ball joint type).

Bionicle joints

hey, if you butchered up a few cyb primus, do you mind selling me his blue chest plate? or ive got a tonne of donor figures and joints if you ever want to trade parts? lol.

The primus I'm using atm is my display piece, this is one of the reason why I have not modified anything because I might put him back together. I have a couple of junker primus in-transit. If you can wait I will give you the chest plate when they arrive.

fark... just noticed that you're using megamorph hulk's hands!!! where did you find those and how much did you buy it for?

I got megamorphs hulk from ebay for $15 plus $20 shipping(the damn thing is big and heavy). My suggestion is if you just need the hands ask the seller if they can remove it and discard the rest so you can save on shipping. Everything about that bot is crap except for the hands IMHO.

Bloody hell!
Some excellent work man as these WIPs sure do give a pretty damn good impression of what the final results will look like.
Really looking forward to see how you go with these dude, impressive use of duck-tape too!

there are some great ideas in those shots, seeing the end results of these are going to be great!!

Thanks! Hopefully this can help members who want to create their own customs.

Updated first post with photos. I have added a shoulder joint for Blades.

It doesnt look much but the concept might work.

Back to work!

Need your input guys.

Which do you think is better as Motormaster, Universe Inferno or Cybertron Optimus Prime?

I will adjust the shoulders once MM is decided.

I desperately need to buy a junker Cybertron Primus, If you have one please PM details. Luckily the forearms are interchangeable.

Thanks for looking!

IMO the Cybertron Prime cab has a far more Decepticon-y feel to it than what Inferno's does, that mold (Albeit down-scaled to Legend) has already been proven to wear Motormaster's colours well too.
