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.

Custom ATF Ghost Rider by Shinobitron

“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!!!”

Custom Animated Cyclonus by Shinobitron

Shinobitron pays homage to a Generation 1 icon with his Custom Transformers Animated Cyclonusfigure.  Created by Unicron, Cyclonus is the Decepticon’s air warrior and saboteur.  Shinobitron has an eye for what will look great in the end and as he explains, “Starscream being made with reverse wings he was just begging to be Cyclonus!”  I totally agree with his interpretation and the end result is awesome.  Done in the classic Cyclonus purple, this custom has a couple features that add to its appeal.  First, the head sculpt is maded from steel and Shinobritron was able to give this figure the aged and hardened look it had in the movie.  He also included Cyclonus’ signature gray gun.  Let’s read more about this custom from the source: 

“My Cy stands 8″ tall and comes fully articulated and transformable.  Hes been done in my favortie Cyclonus color purple thus the embodiment of the Decep symbol!  Whats Cyclonus with out a grey gun?  I took care of that and included one!  Cy has been given a custom head that was made from steel sculpt.  Not only does his head look cool but he also has red piping to show how evil he really is.  Cys head is pretty big with his warrior horns.  I took care of this problem and made a slot under the landing gear to attach it when in jet mode.  I also couldn’t decide where to place his Decep symbols.  I am including 2 reprolabel stickers so you place your factions symbols where ever you like!”
