    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.

    Your work looks really professional !

    I am now eagerly waiting for you to do the rest of the Protectobots in scale to each other, and then to make them combine.

    Then start mass producing them and we can buy them from you.
