This commissioned non-transforming Generation One Devastator stands over a towering 15 inches tall! Built using the typical components, the Constructicons have been fused together, but given improved articulation. Head is on a ball joint, shoulders allow more posability, lower arm swivel, hands articulated, elbows, hips, waist, knees, lower legs swivel, foot pivot (Scrapper leg) and Mixmaster foot rotates and pivots at the heel. Heels add extra support for cooler more dynamic poses. Added lots of light battle damage and 3D dirt, mud and rust; the way Devastator should be! Painted a custom blend of paints the neon green is accurate to the original Generation 1 Constructicon toys.

This is a commissioned project with a cool twist to it. The client actually owns a 2010 Camaro SS, which he had detailed and named "Cliffjumper"

The project uses a Revenge of the Fallen, super giant Battle-Ops Bumblebee as it's base. I've swapped out the original LEDs with new ones; eyes now are blue, headlights are now white. Cannon/gun arm is now blue. The headlights and eyes are powered to the original batteries in the toy. He still retains all his noises/sounds/etc, but an on/off switch toggles the eyes/headlights on their own. The cannon/gun arm has a new SUPER bright LED in it, with it's own easy-access batteries. The blue LED light has 3 modes, fast blink, slow blink and constant-on. The stripes and details were redone and painted up to best represent the client's car and Cliffjumper concept art (he had someone do for him) I used a mix of House of Kolors and Testor's model masters (enamel) as well as some tamiya acrylics. Clear coated with my favorite : Alclad's aqua gloss clear.

I've given up on image names. Yep. This was before I even finished my coffee and without a tripod or remote. Where is my gosh darn remote?!

this commissioned piece is for another very patient customer. Warpath started as a Marvel Crossover Hulk figure. I removed the springs in his shoulders and waist, add replaced articulation with friction. His head was custom built using a variety of orther existing heads (I think Universe Onslaught, Alternator Ratchet (?) and sits on the neck via ball joint. His chest was built using random parts. Tank turret clips onto Warpath's back while in robot mode. Turret aim screen flips up for maximum accuracy for BLAM, POW and KAZOWIES. Every detail meticulously painted, highlighted accent areas with a nice bright blue, and stuck to his original color scheme for the rest of the details.

This is a commissioned piece of War for Cybertron's MEGATRON! The main modification done here was the swap in of new hands, which can hold 5mm weapons. These new hands split into halves (like the stock toy's) and hinge into the tank (alt modes) treads. Speaking of 5mm weapons, this custom created Megamace is c/o fakebuster, it's amazing! I went to town with tons of battle damage, colors, details, etc. The "glowing" parts were custom blended, from purple on the outsides to white in the middle, to give a nice glowing effect. Megatron's ready to lay a whooping on Prime. His arm canon also has a 3mm purple LED, with easy-access batteries and an on/off switch up top.

Masterpiece Galvatron is a commissioned piece. he began as an Ultra scale/size Energon Megatron, added new articulated hands, arm mounted cannon and other stuff. Several parts come off a G1 Galvatron. Matrix of Leadership & custom chain included too.

This was a commissioned piece. Optimus Primal is ultra class (larger one) and the original version. Few things bugged me about the figure, so I did my best to improve those. To begin with, the original figure only had fists, and when in Gorilla/alt mode, those fists weren't facing a convincing direction. I added articulated, rotating hands. (c/o cast Customs by Z) Another issue was the spring loaded mechanisms everywhere. I removed these springs and made those features friction poseable, during this process - I also omitted the "kung fu grip" style arm(s) gimmick. There were areas (especially on the gorilla/alt mode) which were given matching sculpted fur. I also gave his robot mode working LED eyes, with easy-access batteries located on the back. Lastly, I gave Optimus a pair of cool swords, c/o Movie Leader Prime. The black fur is actually like 4 types of black and gray, to really help make the fur and details pop. I did a lot of tedious blending styled paint on the red and white areas.

Classics Dragstrip (version 4) with added set of front wheels (like g1 version) new head and lots of fun details. Final coated with a super glossy clear, wheels coated with a super matte clear. Yes, he will eventually become the arm of Menasor

I photographed this car three years ago and I'm surprised to see it is still on the road, what with gasoline being so valuable and all.

This is a commission for another patient and very cool client of mine. Ironhide no longer transforms, but has added articulation, major paint details, LEDs (blue in eyes, 2 in canons, 2 in headlight) retains voice action, and custom built ass-kicking canons.

This custom Soundwave commission started as a Reveal the Shield Perceptor. The mold just screams Soundwave, so I painted him up in classics/Generation 1 Soundwave colors. I added weapons and head from the War For Cybertron Soundwave, swapped in a new front fender slightly modified the shoulders/backpack to give him a little more bulk up top, and went to town with details.

Classic Sunstorm started as Starscream. The client wanted this set (3 of 3) to resemble the MP seekers I did in the past, yet with subtle changes to the effects.

This is our first game of the year for 2025. We used a table-setting that hasn't seen use in a couple of years.
