Master of the Generation 1 Custom Transformers, Shinobitron pays homage to another Predacon with his Custom Transformers G1 Headstrong figure. Back in February 2008, I featured his Custom Predacon Rampage figure. The Predacons are cool and it is great to see more customs and this Headstrong figure keeps the essence of the original with the G1 color scheme. Let’s learn more from Shinobitron about this great figure:
“HS is fully articulated and can transform freely! He has been detailed to resemble his G1 self and comes with his horn Sword and a gun! He has been given a metallic paint job for that extra shine when hunting down some Autobot! Need a Pred to add to your collection? Do you beleive that most of the jungles animals are red and Gold? Then bid today and get Headstrong for your self!”
I have always thought that animals from the jungle were red and gold…who woudln’t :)? If you want to see more photos, head over to eBay and check out Shinobitron’s Custom Transformers G1 Headstrong figure.

Shinobitron has been busy making the best of what he can with the Transformers Animated line. This week, he brings us his Custom Transformers Animated Galvatron figure, with a G1 twist to the design. This version of Galvatron, which is actually an animated Megatron as the base, transforms into an actual canon! Paying homage to the G1 Galvatron, Shinobitron’s choice of a deep purple is spot on. While he has a made a G1 style figure, Galvatron still retains an animated feel to him. Check out the thought process behind this awesome figure below:
“In my loyal attempt to make the heralds of Unicron the final figure is here! Galvatron comes to you standing 6″ tall and ready to crush some Autobot heads! Galvs has been detailed to resemble his G1 self as close as possible with tones of purple silver and black all set to his original styling. He has given his old school weaponry and even his red abs of ultimate evil! Trying to be the best of both worlds I took some liberties and retooled the classic Galv crown and even filled in his seems with red energy! So you got Galvs bot mode now what to do for an Alt mode? The answer is easy, how about a tripod space canon! With a few minor twists and turns Galv can reclaim his G1 glory and become a space canon once again! G1 goodness with an animated attitude what more can you ask from one figure besides a pile of ash to call Starscream?”

Shinobitron always puts a cool spin on his customs while retaining their G1 likeness andrs his Custom Transformers Animated G1 Swoopis no exception. Calling Swoop a “flying ninja,” Shinobitron added a custom double edged sword to fit more with his concept. Let’s read more about how Shinobitron came up with this concept:
“Don’t get me wrong I love TFA Swoop but he should have been so much more. My Swoop comes detailed to look like his G1 self and is done in metallics for that extra shine. Swoop still stands 6″ tall and is fully articulated. Along with being superposeable Swoop can still change into his Pterodactyl Dino mode. The dino mode has been changed with added missiles that can be attached during both modes. The TFA figure comes with a cool looking mace, but to me thats not a weapon for an aerial warrior. Swoop has been given a double edged sword that fits his look and new personality. The sword looks awesome and can be used in many of Ninjaesk poses.”

The Transformers Animated series is providing a great canvas for some killer customs. Up this week is Shinobitron’s Custom Transformers Animated G1 Brawn Minibotfigure. Using the Animated Soundwave figure as the base, the way the car mode resembles the G1 Brawn nicely. The spare tire on the roof is a nice addition to the car, which adds the G1 flare that Transformers fans will love. In robot mode, which you will have to view Shinobitron’s auction to see, the head that was sculpted to really pays a nice a nice homage to the G1 minibot Braun’s look. Be sure to check out all of the Custom Transformers figures after you view this killer Custom G1 Braun figure.

Shinobitron’s latest G1 creation is this Custom Transformers Generation 1 Scourgeand he is really taking advantage of the Transformers Animated line in a very good way. This time, he has created this figure from the Voyager Class Megatron mould and what a great base figure this made for Scourge. The way Shinobitron sculpted the head, complete with the ‘fu man chu’ mustache Scourge is known for, really captures the G1 likeness and essence of this figure. The colors are spot on and the vehicle mode was a perfect choice for this figure.

Custom ATF Ghost Rider by Shinobitron
What do you get when you cross the Marvel Universe with the new Animated Transformers line? You get a work of art as Shinobitron has the recipe for creating unique figures that fit into either world. First, I must say that this
Custom Animated Transformers Ghost Rider is simply amazing. He has really thought of everything when creating this custom. There are basically 3 modes you can display this piece and every single one is awesome. I never thought the Oil Slick Animated Transformer could be used this way but Shinobitron really has a keen eye for what will look great and he comes through every time in the execution. He goes into more detail about this great figure below:
“Ghost Rider has been detailed to resemble his Marvel Comics counterpart as close as possible. I tried my best to keep fans of both happy with 3 modes of conversion for the TF fans and Chains and flames for Rider fans. GR is fully articulated and can change freely from bot to bot to Bike. He has 2 head (one for Blaze and one for GR) and an extra set of hands for Blaze. Blaze needed a gun though so I was sure to include his Hellfire shotgun in TF form. But what to do when in the presence of evil? Extend the arms swap the heads and add some flames and you got a Robotic Ghost Rider ready for some fierce justice! Another cool feature is that when Ghost Rider is in his bike mode the Marvel Legends Super Hero Showdown Ghost Rider is able to ride him! Talk about your ultimate team up!!!”
