Ever wonder what Jazz would look like if Jazz came across a different dealership and scanned a red Pontiac Solstace? Sabrina Ng applied her signature painting technique to make a version of the Transformers Movie Jazz you will never find anywhere. It is great to get into customizer’s heads so let’s learn more about this great figure:
“The last of my red customs (I think. hehe). Zoom Zoom!!!! I was inspired to take on this project when I realized that some Mazda cars on the road actually had the word Zoom Zoom written on them. He’s been given some extreme metallics as well as an additional head, recasted to pay tribute to his Binaltech inspiration. I’ve always been amazed by how Jazz can look so good in red (or any colours for that matter). Deluxe Premium Jazz was given a nice shade of red metallics to emulate Zoom Zoom. As always, I take great pains to clean the figure of any factory residue. He was primed and was given a base coat of supper black to bring out the strength of the metallics. He’s got approximately 7 layers of red and 3 layers of anti-UV gloss to keep him in great condition for the years to come.”

L.K. Customs has put his talent to work and has created a massive combiner from the past with his Custom Masterpiece Superion Transformers G1 figure. Using the Transformers Universe Silverbolt as the centerpiece of this figure, he seamlessly recreates the Generation 1 feel of the classic Aerialbot crew, which is evidient in his color choices and overall style of the figure. In robot mode, the 5 figures combine to form a massive 15″ autobot, which towers over the deluxe and voyager class Transformers. With the size difference he was able to achieve what Hasbro could not do with the original. Let’s learn more about this great figure from L.K.:
“Most of the SUPERION joints are movable, such as Shoulders move in and out, Elbows bends, Arms rotates 360 front/back ways, Fingers moves up and down ( thumb has individual ball joints ). Legs/hips moves backward, knees moves forward and backward !! Shoulder movable joints are not simple ball joints, they are the gear wheels joints which will give a “click” sound whenever you move the joints!! All figures has been given a fixative coating on top of the paint to make it durable.The paint used are the professional resin base paint.”

Defstar does not mess around when it comes to making what fans want and his Custom Transformers G1 Devastator is no exception. This behemoth stands a towering 17″ tall and is 12″ wide and your G1 Transformers would not want to meet this monster in a dark alley! This figure is made of 6 Constructicons that combine to form Devastator and it looks like great care was taken in making sure that this figure retained its G1 look and feel while creating a masterpiece.
“Created with the best epoxy and paints available and coated with a protective sealer for durability. He has full 360 degrees of rotation at both shoulders and 180 degrees of rotation at both his elbows and knees. His fingers are functional and his head turns 360 degrees…this devastator is very large and very heavy…but his pose ability remains relatively good. He is very simple to transform…all six Constructicons do transform into their alt modes as shown and combining Devastator is very simple as well…though transforming instructions will be provided to the winner…(note: this custom is not recommended for children but collectors only as some care needs to be taken when handling the figures)…”
This figure was listed as a 10 day auction so head over to eBay and check out more photos and after you have done that, place a bid on this great Custom Transformers G1 Devastator from Defstar.

Mooncricket pays a very nice homage to a G1 classic with his Custom Animated Transformers Grimlock in Gernation 1 style. The paint aps are very nicely applied on this figure and it is very smooth looking and professional. It takes a very talented artist to make paint appear like glass on plastic and this is a great example of how a great technique translates into a work of art.

This figure looks awesome in robot mode, where the shiny chrome, reds, golds and blacks have all been re-done to look like the classic Grimlock we all know and love. The G1 colors are all in the right places and this figure would make a great addition to your Transformers collection. If you are looking to add a great looking G1 figure to our Transformers collection, head over to eBay and check out Mooncricket’s Custom Animated Transformers Grimlock figure.

It is still great to see customizers paying homage to the original and Sam’s Customs has outdone himself with his Custom Transformers Universe Generation 1 Jazz figure. Looking at this figure brings back so many memories of playing Transformers with my friends in elementary school. For a period of time, we would all bring our Transformers to school and recreate the cartoon at recess. Some interesting things to note about this custom include:
** Customized flared rear tire guard
** REAL RUBBER TIRES have been installed, and they still roll!
**Custom head to better resemble his G1 countenance!
**Completly redone front end to look like the martini Porsche
**G1 styled weapons made to fit!
**Custom made decals to give an authentic G1 look!
**Scratch Built feet to resemble his 80’s toy
**Painted with combination of Fusion, tamiya, citadel and testors clear coated
To own this great blast from the past, head over to eBay and bid on Sam’s Customs Custom Transformers Universe Generation 1 Jazz figure

Transformers

Shockwave was already a great addition to the Transformers Classics line and, as expected, Jin Saotome goes above and beyond and really brings out the Generation 1 feel to this Custom Transformers G1 Shockwave figure. Using the purple and pink color scheme from the cartoon, this figure very closely resembles the Shockwave from the 1980’s. I like the modifications that were made from the Classics figure and it just goes to show you that more is less in robot mode. In blaster mode, on the otherhand, this figure closely resembles a German Nebelwerfer, a six-barreled (nonrotating) tubular projector, with barrels 3 to 3 1/2 feet long and 160 mm in diameter.

On that note, let’s hear more about this great figure from Jin: “This auction is for an 8” tall ‘Shockwave’ figure with removable arm blasters, magnetic shoulder cannons, and Space Cannon/Ship base. He has multiple points of articulation and in my opinion is the best Shockwave mold ever to come out of the Transformers line. He’ll fit right in with your current Transformers collection and is scaled to Voyager size. He doesn’t come with instructions because of the different Alt mode but you can probably figure it out by the pics. You asked for him time and time again, the cold and calculating Decepticon with the single eye. Shockwave is back and this time he’s packing an arsenal of weapons! As you can see he’s been decked out in G1 colors using deep shadows, highlights, metallic effects, and the shocking purple/pinkish color right from the show. Shockwave has also been sealed against paint wear and transforms into a Space Cannon or removing the base has him looking like a cosmic battleship of sorts. His arm cannons are removable and fire off missiles while his giant shoulder cannons magnetically mount and can be removed too. So, were you looking for the definitive Shockwave for your Classics/Universe collection?”
