Leader Class, I believe.

Nice pic!

I meat which version of the leader class, Hasbro, Takara or one of the white knight or platinum variants that seem to be starting to kick around.

Looks like the regular Generations Leader class Grimlock.

So I kinda mod'ed HO Bumblebee's arm cannon/missile thing.

I cut the end off the bulbous projectile, trimmed the protruding back end, and drilling a hole in the new barrel.
I intended to glue the back bit into his throat (like where it goes in alt-mode) but it didn't look quite as good as I thought it would. Sort of just a small length of grey hanging aimlessly and out of place in a yellow neck. So I abandoned that idea. In hindsight, if I known that idea was no good, I might not have trimmed it off.
The round end makes a cool grenade for 'Bee. I was hoping to fashion a storage clip that would hold inside the car rear kibble (i.e. behind the tail lights), but that didnt work out. So I keep it stowed in his leg. Which is kinda dumb, bit it fits perfectly and doesnt restrict movement. Also fills in his gappy leg a bit too.
The grenade can be fitted to the end of his gun and fired like an RGP.
There was some precision drilling involved!
Photos didnt turn out quite as well as I'd like.

One more reason to love this mould and adding more destructive battle capabilities to the Seekers. This is an imaginary reason why Starscream has Skywarp and Thundercracker as his most closest seeker company (triumvirate) rather than any of the other seekers.

The ScreamingSkyThunder.

Imagine the horror of the autobot ground troops as a swirling deadly barrage of photon laser/ explosive shells/ null rays rain down on them plus a blanketing of cluster bombs and other regular bombs after, but that's not all they can't prepare/defend against it since they're incapacitated first with a deadly sonic boom attack before and after... with the enemy warping in and out at speeds able to achieve interstellar travel in seconds, it'll be very hard to pinpoint your laser gun and shoot - shoot where?.










Now if they can only come out with the coneheads using this mold and of course new wings, it would be another perfect interstellar altmode... but I dunno what I'll call that ;P
