Custom: Classics Guzzle

[Doubledealer]

Greetings bots and welcome to another Doubledealer custom thread! I recently imported a 4-pack of Deluxe Transformers which included the ones I really, really wanted (Jazz & Tracks) as well as two movie repaints in the form of Fallback (whose colours make him look like G1 Outback, coincidence much?) and Mindset. So I'm thinking...What to do, what to do...Then BLAMMO! Mindset is the Wreckers Guzzle I've been waiting for!! It may be a bit hard to imagine now but I'm sure it's possible, and I will make it happen! Watch this space bots!

Okay, so here's what I have to base the custom on. The default hands are far too Decepticon for my liking, so out they go! Gone too is the head & rotating SAMs which will eventually be replaced with a tank turret of some description.

Checklist of parts needed:
1. Seeker fists (being bought from Skullcruncher in the new year)
2. G1 Perceptor head (in transit)
3. Tank Turret (will look at tanks in local hobby stores - deluxe movie Brawl may be an option)
4. Modelling file (to shave plastic so Seeker fists can slide on)

Idea's/possibilities:
1. ROTF Voyager Bludgeon chest piece (unlikely due to having to ruin a killer toy)
2. Shoulder protrusions

You decapitated Mindset mate! Should have let me know and I would have happily swapped or sold you mine.

Looks interesting...can't wait to see the final result

LOL, well I've got no need for my Mindset's head. Do you want mine?

Really? Cheers mate... I'll PM you - I was going to wait for a local release and buy another one.

Bugger that, just have mine.

Edit: Additional pic added to original post to better show the vision I have for Wreckers Guzzle (although fists will be in normal position on the final product).
