    Default custom classics First Aid








    I have a Hot Spot, but don't know where he is....

    Made from a Prime Ratchet and classics Grimlock head (oh the irony...)
    Alt mode is unchanged so I didn't bother taking pics of it.
    For robot mode, I had to use a soldering gun to level off the neck joint. It was at a 45-degree plus angle, while the Grimlock head had a level base and just would not go on.
    There was a little ridge on Ratchet's waist. Once I got rid of that his legs were able to spin 360 degrees. I reversed the legs for this custom, but the backs of Ratchet's thighs are hollow, so I had to swap the thighs.
    I've just noticed there's no Autobot insignia on him. Hopefully I have a small one to put on his chest.
    And no there are no plans for Defensor.

    Additions: forgot to add the back of Ratchet's waist - which is now the front of First Aid's waist - was also hollow, so I filled it with sculpy.
    As a result of the thigh swap, which involved the use of a soldering gun, the knees are a bit weak, so I have left Ratchet's knee spikes on to help hold the legs up.

    heh, who would've thought Grimy's head can be First Aids with just a few paint changes . Well done Snakey! Groove is next I see. Did you get the Asia Exclusive Gen. Hot spot? (repaint of Inferno)

    Wow. That's.... PERFECTION!!!
    I love it. The Ratchet body fits so well with him. Looks like a really designed Hasbro toy.

    I have Hot Spot, but he's in a box under boxes in the wardrobe, which has boxes stacked up against it and it all got too hard to dig him out.
    I want to use a deluxe-sized Transformer for Groove, so it's either going to be a tweaked Wreck-Gar or a sex-change for him.....

    Thanks for the comments everyone.
