Dubz has an interesting twist on an old friend with his Custom Transformers Movie Style G2 Optimus Prime. I never liked the G2 Optimus Prime but Dubz has given this figure a new look and a new life that is based on the Transformers Movie version. I like the flame job he did and that he carried the paint ap all the way through the trailer. This is a great time to get Transformers customs as everyone and their mother has come out of the woodwork for the launch of the Revenge of the Fallen movie so head over to eBay and check out Dubz’ Custom Transformers Movie Style G2 Optimus Prime.
One of the high points in the Revenge of the Fallen Transformers movie was when Jetfire sacrificed himself to lend a hand to Optimus Prime’s fight against The Fallen and the Decepticons. His Custom Optims Prime Jetfire Combiner figure brings to life the newly resurrected Optimus Prime and he does a great job integrating the SR71 Blackbird parts into this Prime figure. I thought this was a cool concept and this figure is nicely executed. For more, head over to eBay!
Arguably the funniest Autobot duo to debut, Frenzy.Rumble has these two protector comedians up this week with his Custom Mudflap and Skidz Revenge of the Fallen custom figures. Here are some of the modifications and highlights you can expect for these figures:
“For Skids, I made some changes to the way his transformation works. His head now moves more freely while in robot mode, allowing full articulation. I’ve also added a major overhaul to the alt (car) mode, to better represent the actual car. This included some work on the front lights, running boards, and tail lights. Mudflap’s shoulder have been modified to better position his arms. His head was also “fixed up” a bit to allow more articulation, his car mode was also completely revamped to appear more like the real deal.”
What a huge opening weekend to the Revenge of the Fallen movie and one customizer has been pretty busy gearing up for the release. This week, I am featuring Sabrina Ng’s custom ROTF line up as she has many of the great figures up for sale this week.

With the Revenge of the Fallen movie out in full force, be sure to check out the Custom Transformers section of this site for latest and greatest figures.
I was very happy to see that Omega Supreme was given some air time in the Transformers Animated series. Anemis007 has brought this icon to life with his Custom Transformers Animated Series Omega Supreme figure. The colors really capture the G1 nature of the figure and the scale is a great size, standing 13.5 inches tall. I am not sure if they will be making one of these figures or not but you can own it now by heading over to eBay!
I promissed myself to lay off the Optimus Prime figures for a while but I could not resist letting people know about this one! Chris Morada has one of the most unique Revenge of the Fallen figures up this week with his Custom The Fallen Optimus Prime figure. The flames on this figure are amazing and the paint aps look like a brand new car with a showroom finish. There are so many aspects of this custom that leave me without words. First, the flames looking like they are searing and burning through the figure. The chromed out parts are great and the smoke stacks really make a great addition to the figure. I am torn with respect to whether this figure looks better in robot mode or truck mode so I will let you decide:
Encline Designs has another excellent Revenge of the Fallen custom up this week and he has added something special to his Custom ROTF Ravage figure…can you guess what it is? If you can’t guess what it is it is staring you right in the face and no it is not a Photoshop effect. I won’t go as far as calling Encline a doctor but he did conduct some brain surgery on Ravage and gave him an LED light, which is a very cool aspect of this figure. Here are some of the other mods he did:
“Added one red LED in the head. The batteries and off/on switch are housed in the torso. Added a socket at the neck and base of the skull. Made a double sided ball joint and put in the neck. Now RAVEGE has more neck articulation than ever! Added teeth and filled in the screw hole on the side of the head”
Encline is not afraid to get his hands dirty and give fans what they want so if you love this figure, head over to eBay and check out more photos of Encline’s Custom ROTF Ravage figure.
Next up for the homage to the Revenge of the Fallen customs is Bumblebee and Matt1989cars has created a version that I would be proud to own with his Custom ROTF Transformers Bumblebee figure. This figure looks great and thanks to some retooling by Hasbro to make this figure movie accurate, Matt1989cars has given it the paint aps he deserves. You can either view more photos of this great figure or visit the Custom Transformers section of this site for more Revenge of the Fallen customs.
I have a feeling I will writing about Revenge of the Fallen customs for many months but that is ok with me because I have been waiting so long for these figures to hit the stores. Sabrina Ng has this Custom ROTF Transformers Sideswipe figure and it is chromed out and looking slick. To differentiate the parts in robot mode, she added some blue accents, which give the figure a more interesting look. To view more photos, head over to eBay!
Let the Revenge of the Fallen customs flow! As the US release date nears, there are many awesome customs that have come out by talented people like Encline Designs. His Custom Battle Damaged Optimus Prime is no exception and really shows off Encline’s talent and creativity. I can’t wait to see the movie as I am guessing the Optimus could like the custom featured in this article but if you want to see more photos of this great figure and all of the detailing, head over to eBay!
I have said it before and I will say it again…these are the figures that should have been made for the Revenge of the Fallen Movie! Not only is Frenzy.Rumble keeping himself busy, he is going above and beyond the call of duty and this Custom Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime is yet another example of his talent. The paint aps are stunning and I urge you to head over to eBay and check out more photos of this stellar looking Optimus Prime.
Soundwave’s dog has come a long way since the little puppy we saw wreak havoc on the Autobots in the 80’s. This week, Frenzy.Rumble applies his magic and talent and created this Custom Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Ravage figure. The paint aps on this figure look like metal and the detailing brings out the intricate robotic parts of this great figure. To read more about the quality that Frenzy.Rumble pours into each figure, check out his process below:
Enter…RAVAGE, a minion of Soundwave and Decepticon spy. All paints used in the process were 100% enamel, so the finish is very durable, and the colors will stay vibrant and true for many many years. (Keep in mind, this is a collectible, so don’t throw it around!) I finished him off with several finishes of Testor’s clear coats, matte, semi-gloss, and gloss variations to keep the colors vibrant and true for years and years. I ensure the highest and most durable paint applications on all my customs. I exceed necessary preparation to these customs – Special plastic adhering primers, automotive grade lacquers and the best paints around to detail with.
The great thing I like about all of Frenzy.Rumble’s listings is that he takes so many photos so if you want to check out more, head over to eBay and check out his Custom Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Ravage figure.
Xaviercal has taken a Masterpiece Prime figure and turned him into a badass with his Custom Masterpiece Scale Nemesis Prime Transformers figure. This figure is packing heat and even has custom smokestacks to add that extra level of detail and villainy. Let’s read more about this figure from Xaviercal himself:
“Inspired by the truck in the movie Deathrace the tanker of Nemesis has HUGE cannon on the back and double mini guns on the front. Nemesis has a new pair of smokestacks to make him look more evil looking. But that’s not all ,even nemesis has to take a break sometime!!! So he has a throne made from an alternator parts and armada prime, some random parts and a wheel from a RC truck and to go with the throne nemesis has a staff from the heads of fallen transformers including Megatron, Shockwave, Optimus prime, and a movie Starscream. All of these are custom painted and detailed”
The thrown is a cool effect and I like the black paint on the oil tanker. I was never a fan of a chrome tanker so this is a great change. The figure looks awesome in truck mode towing the suped up tanker so if you want to see that mode, head over to eBay and check out Xaviercal’s Custom Masterpiece Scale Nemesis Prime Transformers figure.
Encline Designs has a wicked twist on Optimus Prime with his Custom Leader Class ROTF Nemesis Prime figure. If there was ever a figure so dark and twisted, it would be this one! Not only does this figure pack enough heat to melt anyone it his path, but the facial expression Encline chose for this figure gives it the evil personality it was made for. I enjoy reading how customizers describe their creations so let’s read how Encline tells his story:
This one is the direct disciple of The Fallen. Empowered by the fire inside, he hunts. Nemesis hunts for any Cybertronian that did not side with The Fallen when he chose in his deepest of processors to gain power. Being the most hot headed of three prototforms created together, he hunts with out mercy. Nemesis has made his way to earth. Sensing a new fear of a great warrior, he takes his form. The hunt will begin by putting fear in the heart of this brave leader by killing off his soldiers one by one. Under estimating the strength and pure drive to protect that Optimus Prime has, Nemesis meets his match sooner than expected. Loving the trill of hand to hand combat, Nemesis drops his shoulder cannon and wants to remove Prime’s head for his trophies.
There are many cool features on this figure and to view the ones that light up, head over to eBay and check out Encline Design’s Custom Leader Class ROTF Nemesis Prime figure.
Frenzy.Rumble continues to amaze me with his talent of interpreting the classic Generation 1 Transformers figures and coming up with original works of art. His latest collaboration with JAF has yielded these 5 Custom G1 Dinobots and I have to say that this entire set is a site for sore eyes. I really love the yellows, grays, and reds on these figures and Frenzy.Rumble and JAF have payed a great homage to the the G1 cartoon representation of the figures. Here is some more detail on the figures:
Grimlock – Added articulation in his shoulders, elbows, waist, head, knees hips and fists
Slag – Added articulation in his head (on ball joint!), shoulders, elbows, knees, hips and tail
Snarl – Added articulation in head, shoulders, elbows, hands are on ball jointed wrists, hips and knees
Swoop – Wing poseability improved, Added articulation in his shoulders, elbows, upper legs and knees
Sludge – Added articulation in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees
To place a bid on this one of kind set Custom G1 Dinobots, head over to eBay!
It is unfortunate circumstances that collectors must sell their most prized possessions and that is why it pains me to write this article as the owner of this custom has fallen on some hard times. This Custom Transformers Masterpiece Mirage figure is simply amazing. Fashioned after his G1 counterpart, this Mirage was kitbash of several different Alternators and end result was a classic figure that will fit nicely with the Masterpiece line. To learn more about this great custom, let’s hear from the seller, gclarks01:
“This custom was made by master customizer JAF. It is a real Indy car Leiger Gitanes model kit altyered to Transform with several Alternator donors as Parts – Skids, Prime, and Sideswipe. He is very poseable! The Gitanes on the side of alt mode is accurate to the real car. (That is the way the real cigarette name is spelled, hence the decals on the side), but I had JAF make custom “Citanes” ones for his spoiler/feet and his front spoiler, torso to be more G1 in robot mode where he really shines. You also get his custom Hunting Rifle and Shoulder Missle launcher.“
Taking Jetfire back to his roots, Boggs6ft7 brings us this awesome Jetfire VF-1S Custom Macross Transformers Robotech figure. From the skull and crossbones to the classic yellow and black paint aps, this figure captures the essence of the original while still retaining the feel of a Jetfire figure. I love the weathering job that was done and the detailing is just enough for this figure. I took a look at the original Marcross VF-1S figure and that is loaded with extra detailing, which is a little overkill in my opinion. If you want an original custom that you will never see anywhere else, head over to eBay and check out Boggs6ft7’s Jetfire VF-1S Custom Macross Transformers Robotech figure.
Megatron kind of got the shaft in the 2007 Transformers movie with getting a cube shoved in his chest and getting dumped liked yesterdays garbage in the Laurentian Abyss but Encline Designs has resurrected the leader of the Decepticons with his Custom Leader Class Revenge of the Fallen Megatron figure. This figure has been enhanced, sculpted, and sanded from its original version and I have to say it is such an improvement. To read more about how he achieved this effect, let’s hear it from Encline Designs himself:
“As you can tell, I put a ton of work into him fixing the arms. I there are now ratchet joints at both elbows with hands, claws, mandables..(whatever they are) on ball joints at the wrists!!!! The DEATH ARM has 3 options!!!!! You can have the regular arm, attach the gun, or remove the arm all together and snap the DEATH ARM into place. Now with an elbow. Yes, the missile still fires. I sanded down Megatron with 150 grit to give him some texture. He was airbrushed with HOUSE OF KOLOR gunmetal enamel base. I Shadowed with transparent black and highlighted with ALCAD II chrome(that is ground up aluminum). I then did some brush work to add the rust and weathering. He can still be transformed!”
DarkCaveCustoms has a very unique custom up this week and I am very happy to feature his Botcon 2009 contestant piece. This Custom Transformers Redemption Prime is a truly one of a kind piece and it looks like DarkCave has poured so much imagination and skill to getting all of the pieces he needed to make this custom a work of art. The alternate mode for this figure is a giant battle hawk and it looks like all of the parts fit great together. This is his last figure in his Prime Directive custom line so go check out all of the detailed photos of his Custom Transformers Redemption Prime figure.
The Fallen from the new Transformers Revenge of the Fallen line has to be one of my favorite looking toys to date for the Movie line. Frenzy.Rumble has taken the stock Hasbro figure and turned it into a work of art. His Custom Transformers ROTF ‘The Fallen’ figure is actually the second figure he has done for the line (I think he forgot he did an ROTF Soundwave in December 2008). I love the finish on the figure as it makes the orange accents pop on the figure and appear that the colors are running through the figure. Let’s hear more about this figure from Frenzy.Rumble himself:
“Here’s my first (of many to come) custom Revenge of the Fallen figures…the big boss himself “The Fallen” Little is known about this meanie, but he’s bad, mean, and he likes to kill Autobots. What’s not to like? All paints used in the process were 100% enamel, so the finish is very durable, and the colors will stay vibrant and true for many many years. (Keep in mind, this is a collectible, so don’t throw it around!) I finished him off with several finishes of Testor’s clear coats, matte, semi-gloss, and gloss variations to keep the colors vibrant and true for years and years. I ensure the highest and most durable paint applications on all my customs. I exceed necessary preparation to these customs – Special plastic adhering primers, automotive grade lacquers and the best paints around.” to detail with.”

Let the Revenge of the Fallen customs begin! There are a couple things that I love when a new movie comes out! First, we get to see a whole new line of toys from the creators at the toy companies and, second, we get to see the awesome customs from creative people like Xaviercal with his Custom G1 Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Tracks figure. Retaining the classic blue and the firebird symbol on the hood, this figure, made from a ROTF Sideswipe, is a great canvas for Tracks. I am looking forward to the many ROTF customs to come and I have a feeling that there will be too many to keep up with so make sure you also check out the Transformers section as well to keep up with the latest.
The G1 combiners are still some of my favorite Transformers and Hangyodan has created one of the most Generation 1 accurate customs I have seen to date with his Custom Transformers G1 Bruticus Combiner figure. The detailing and the colors of this figure really capture the classic nature of 1980’s version. My favorite aspects of this custom are the head and chest shield. I like the head because it is a bit more streamlined than the original. I always thought Bruticus has a fat head and Hangyodan has solved this issue with a longer, narrower head. The chest plate is great because it is more grand than the original. I like the way the chest plate extends further as this aspect makes the figure look like a great warrior. To view more photos of this awesome figure, head over to eBay and check out Hangyodan’s Custom Transformers G1 Bruticus Combiner figure.
Frenzy.Rumble has a pair of Decepticon troublemakers up for sale this week with his Custom G1 Transformers Battle Chargers figures. It is cool when customizers create figures that mean something to them because you know that extra care has gone into them to make them the very best they could be. I am happy to see these two together in this auction because one would not look right without the other. Let’s learn more about these cool figures from Frenzy.Rumble himself:
I customized these twins with a more modern spin. Both Runabout and Runamuck are included in this auction, as well as some great bonus items coming later this week. This mischievious Decepticon Battlecharger Duo is a must have for any Transformer fan. Some cool features of these figures include:
- Fully poseable “frenzyrumble” signature hands, in ball joints, giving proper articulation
- Metallic flake “iridecint” paints on their alt (car) modes….colors change and appear tinted to different hues when at certain angles
- Cast, one of a king, scratch-built heads

Sabrina Ng is downsizing this week but this little guy is packed with all of the skill and love she puts into every custom. Her THS-01 Optimus Prime Custom Transformers figure is very highly detailed and from what she said was very difficult to customize due to the size. Let’s read more about shy she decided to make this great figure:
“I’m pretty reluctant to let my Henkei line end this week. So I decided to do up this little gem for this week’s auction. Rare and beautiful, THS-01. Made of diecast, this 4.3 inch gorgeous is definitely a must have for every Transformers fan. Not only that, he is now fully customized for display. That literally makes him a pretty unique collectible. I can honestly say that this is my favourite toy of all time. And for all you Transformer lovers out there, do not miss a chance to own this one and only THS-01. He is sooooooo hard to customize due to his size. Thus there will not be a ‘2nd one’ out there in the market. I’ve also included an Actual Galaxy Force Convoy in one of my pictobrowser slide pictures as comparison. Galaxy Force Convoy is not included in the auction. He is just for size comparison. Oh and by the way, THS-01 comes in a complete package with the original box, manuals, power card and accessories”
Sabrina Ng has a double agent up this week with her Custom Henkei Transformers Punch Counterpunch figure. This highly updated version retains the classic yellow and blue color scheme but with a more intense focus on deeper, rich colors. What I love about Sabrina’s customs is that you just don’t get a straight repaint but you get her interpretation of the classic style, which is more artistic and one of a kind. As of now, she also has a special bonus item that comes with this figure so head over to eBay and see what it is…
Darkcave Customs has outdone himself with his Custom Transformers ‘The Fallen’ Optimus Prime figure. This heavily modified Cybertron Leader Class Optimus Prime figure boasts many awesome features, which are outlined below:
2 Magma Swords (Mount to either turret or arm cannons)
I Hell Tank Turret (mounts under arm/ top/rear trailer)
2 Flame Cannons (mount underneath the forearm or Tank treads)
5 points of Magnetic Connection for weapons configurations galore!
This is one of the grittiest Optimus Prime customs I have ever seen and this figure looks like he was resurrected from the depths of hell. The fire accents that engulf the figure appear to be glowing, which is a very cool effect. The way that they are placed on the figure also made Prime look like the fire was flowing through his joints and gears. Darkcave has many photos over at his auction page so head over to eBay and check out his Custom Transformers ‘The Fallen’ Optimus Prime figure.
There is nothing mini about this minibot! Shinobitron has brought back to life a G1 classic with his Custom Transformers Gears figure. He has made a Deluxe figure that stands 6″ tall and this figure really captures the classic nature of Gears with an updated look. Still donning the classic red and blue paint scheme, this figure looks great and will fit in very nicely with your other G1 or customs Transformers. To see a photo of Gears posing with Spiderman, head over to eBay and check out Shinobitron’s Custom Transformers Gears figure.
Frenzy.Rumble has a one of a kind creation up this week with his Custom Transformers Autobot X figure. He also refers to this figure as Autobot Spike but nonetheless, it is an amazing piece that shows off his talent and creativity. To give us the run down of the features of this awesome figure, here is Frenzy.Rumble:
- Roughly 50 points of articulation and/or moving parts!
- Head’s scratch built, using a Sigma 6 Joe face, refined and “chiseled” then building the rest around it with clay and styrene.

- His upper right arm has a small door which opens to reveal gears inside.
- His lower right arm has a small door also, which reveals a canon (shown later)
- Right Hand is from MP Prime (man that hurt cutting him up for this, but the size was perfect)
- Left upper arm “post thing” up top near his shoulder is on a hinge, allowing that arm to extend to any position (if it remained sticking straight up, it would collide with the shoulder)
- Door on back right is from a second die cast model car, the mirror is real glass (what?)

Sabrina Ng, with her latest in her Henkei series, puts a new look on a on friend with her Custom Transformers Henkei Nemesis Prime figure. Sometimes, it is the little things that mean a lot, especially when it comes to Sabrina’s customs as her figures are packed full of the smallest of detail. I love the purple accents on this figure. They are in the right places, along with the Decepticon symbols flanking the shoulders of Nemesis Prime. Color is very important on figures and Sabrina has decided to share a tip with everyone:
“What you see on him is not black but a special mixture of gloss grey, patiently layered until this specific colour was derived. Why not black you ask? Well, black is firstly a very common colour and that it tends to be overly harsh on a vehicle. Unless absolutely necessary, I try to stay clear of black.”
TimShinn has an awesome Custom Transformers Movie Barricade figure up this week. The aim of this work of art was to get close to the movie version and pick up the slack where Hasbro left off. The hands are one of my favorite parts of this figure as they really capture the feel of the movie. Imagine getting chased by this figure! Here is TimShinn to tell you what went into this figure:
“Built over several months using a 1:25 scale Revell 2006 Mustang GT model kit and modified Bionicle parts for the skeleton into this articulated representation of the Barricade character from the 2007 Transformers movie. The model kit was cut up into over 200 pieces, cleaned, sanded and painted. The hands and head are mostly scratch built from sheet styrene and other found objects (Gundam bits, etc). 15 points of articulation. Stands at just under 9 inches tall. Hand painted and detailed. High quality custom decals were created by Reprolabels for this custom figure to duplicate the look of the movie character. 2 panels on the chest are removeable for access to the power switch and batteries for the working police lights.”
I alway love hearing how customizers build thier figures. TimShinn’s listing has many pictures of the work in progress so you can see the different stages of this custom so check out his Custom Transformers Movie Barricade figure up on eBay.
I love Sabrina’s Henkei series. She is the first Transformers customizer I know to do a line like this and I know she will make some lucky collector very happy with her latest edition in this Custom Henkei Transformers Mirage figure. Sabrina has really outdone herself and has captured the essence of the G1 figure while still retaining her own style and feel. I love the way she takes liberties with the colors and tries not to do an exact match but she comes close, which makes her customs very sought after and popular. If you want to see more photos, head over to eBay and check out Sabrina Ng’s Custom Henkei Transformers Mirage figure.
Sam has revived an 80’s classic with his Custom Transformers G1 Jazz figure. There are so many awesome features to this custom let’s get it right from source:

Painted in Fusion white for durability. Citadels and clear coats were also used to help make it as durable as I could.
Recast weapons such as his famous shoulder-mounted Flame thrower! His rifle is also replicated, and theres more…

Metal ringlets to represent bonnet latches!
Scribed detail in bonnet to closer resemble G1 toy and actual Porsche!
Xaviercal is back with a Generation 1 custom that is a mix of current and classic form and function. His Custom Transformers Alternators Hoist is a great combination of the old (orange crane, green paint aps) and the new (Dodge Ram pickup as the base figure. Xaviercal is a great Alternators customizer and I love the way he is making the line into the classic G1 style.

It is really great to see teamwork and I could not ask for two better people to put their skills to the test and collaborate to form one of the greatest customs I have seen. Frenzy.Rumble and Sabrina Ng bring you their Custom Transformers Devastator G1 Combiner figure, which displays talents from both Frenzy.Rumble and Sabrina Ng. Frenzy Rumble, with his sculpting and keen eye for design, combined with Sabrina Ng’s bullet proof paint aps, have created one of the most sought after customs I have seen in a long time. I am struck by the attention to detail in the design of this Devastator and it looks like no aspect was left untouched. Let’s read more about how this collaboration got started from Frenzy.Rumble:
“Blown away by the talented painting of fellow artist Sabrina Ng and her custom Transformer auctions, we got in contact with one another. We decided to collaborate our skills, talents, and passions to bring you this “Anniversary Edition” Devastator custom Transformer. It was built by me some time ago, and he was shipped and took a little vacation in Singapore. While there, Sabrina painted and gave him her magical touch. Devastator was then sent back the the United States where I did some minor engineering updates, installed the electronics and took his photos.”

What a way to kick off AFC’s 600th article! I have waited for this day ever since the announcement of Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen. New movie, new toys, and awesome works of art like Butler’s Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen Megatron figure. I can’t wait to see the movie but until then I will ogle the amazing customs. Seeing prototypes and photos of the original TF2 Megatron, I was most unhappy with the paint scheme but I then remembered that customizers will soon get their hands on them so that made me smile. The paint aps on this Tf2 Megatron are very well done, smooth, and the highlights are in the right places. Butler has made this figure 1000% better!

I can’t get enough of combiners and Xaviercal has a one of my favorites up on eBay this week. His Custom Transformers G1 Menasor figure is very well done and ranks very high in my mind with one of the best I have seen. The design is very simple and I like that he did not go overboard with trying to make this custom have too many bells and whistles. I like the fact that he used the windows on Motormaster as it keeps the figure from being bulky. The colors on the figure are reminiscent of the G1 classic so head over to eBay and check out more photos of Xaviercal’s Custom Transformers G1 Menasor figure.
There is so much detail in Sabrina Ng’s Custom Masterpiece Grimlock figure. This is one of my favorite customs she has done to date. The colors really pop on this figure and if you look at the image below, you can see all of the intricate detail she puts into each and every figure:
I recently received an email from a person who has purchased 4 of Sabrina’s customs and he said that they look even better in person and plans to bid on more of them so if you want a chance to own this figure, head over to eBay and place a bid on Sabrina Ng’s Custom Masterpiece Grimlock figure.
Hot on the heels of his magnificant Custom Generation 1 Devastator, Defstar brings us his Custom Generation 2 Devastator figure. The Generation 2 Devastor, in the 90’s, came out as a yellow and an organge version of green gestalt combiner that came out in 1985. The yellow version was released in Europe and the orange was only available at KB Toys. Defstar did a tremendous job blending both styles of the G2 constructicons and the G1 figures with his blend of orange, green, and yellow paint aps that capture the feel of the G2 line while paying homage to the G1 figures.
Not happy with how the Transformers Movie figures turned out, timandashley2005 have redesigned and custom created this Transformers Movie Blackout figure to be accurate. Although this Transformer is not transformable, he felt that the need to go above and beyond to create this great looking figure and the best part is that 10% of the proceeds from this auction go to help the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. I think it is great that customizers deviate from the norm and make tradeoffs for the best of the custom and the fans. Let’s read more about this great custom:
“You are looking at a custom leader class non-transformable Movie style Blackout. Blackout out was created out of a need to fill in my movie collection. He was painted in Citadel acrylics and made from scratch. The base of this figure is Leader class Megatron, arms cannons and other bitz came from other transformers and model kits. His left arm rotor is removable for display and shipping purposes. Blackouts face was hand sculpted.”
When I first saw the Cybertron Leader Class Optimus Prime figure, I never imagined that this figure could be turned into something this spectacular. DarkCave Customs has really outdone himself with his Custom Transformers Galvatron Prime with Roller. This figure pays homage to the G1 colors of the original Galvatron but he takes this figure to another level with the massage body armor and guns. This figure also was made with some special features, which you can read about below:
“For sale today is Galvatron Prime and Battle Roller. They are a modified Cybertron Leader Class Optimus Prime and a heavily modified Classics Acid Storm. He has been modified into a armored Heavy Truck and Single Manned Combat Tank. They come with an Ion Fusion cannon, with an operational laser sight, 4 Plasma Discharge Rifles and combined more than 20 points of magnetic connections.”
I love Sabrina Ng’s Henkei series as she is the only customizer out there doing them consistently, which will make these very sought after. She is winding down her Henkei series and she has a great one this week with her Custom Henkei Grimlock figure. She possesses the skill to blend and apply paint like I have never seen and the golds and the silvers really work well together and they are in the right places. Let’s hear more about this great figure:
“Grimlock was an interesting character to handle. Not only is he not a vehicle, he was always depicted as a dull coloured grey in the G1 line. Grimlock was painted a shade of glossy grey by mixing highly diluted black with super clear gloss. His red at the torse was derived from a custom blend of red that is heavier than my usual glossy red colours”
If you want to own these special Henkei Transformers from one of the best, head over to eBay and bid on Sabrina Ng’s Custom Henkei Grimlock figure.
Xaviercal has taken Rollbar, an Alternator, and turned him into a Generation 1 classic that is the minibot Beachcomber that we all know and love. I love the direction he took with his Custom Transformers Beachcomber as he did an excellent job with the modifications. For example, he added larger buggy tires and a different front grill. The G1 Beachcomber blue seals the classic nature of the figure and rounds out another great custom from Xaviercal. If you are into the Alternators line, head over to eBay and check out this awesome Custom Transformers Beachcomber figure.
Defstar is at it once again with his Custom Transformers G1 Devastator figure. Going for a more Generation 1 feel, he has really captured the feel of the figure from the 1980’s. With the cartoon head, it reminds me of the Devastator we grew to know and love. Let’s hear more about this great figure from Defstar himself:
“Hello everyone…I return with yet another take on the great Transformer combiner Devastator (as some may remember my Universe Devastator from a little while back)…this time aroundI’m aiming to get even closer to the original look of the G1 version. First I would like to mention the help I got from fellow TFW2005 member Ptitvite…I opted to use one of his Devastator head molds for this project…he’s very skilled at what he does and turns out quality work. Devastator stands approx 14” tall and 9” wide…he is painted with a combination of quality sprays and acrylics and then coated with a very durable sealer…he has full rotation of his head and both shoulders…be bends 90 degrees at the elbows and knees…his fingers move as do his legs at the hip…waist has about 15 degrees movement in both directions.”
Back in the 80’s, Astrotrain was an interesting concept is was one of the first triple changing Transformers. Sabring Ng, continuing her Henkei series, brings this awesome version of this triple changer to life with her Custom Henkei Astrotrain. I love the way the figure mould turned out but the colors were very wrong on the original figure, which Sabrina has solved with her stellar paint ap and color choice. I have not thought about this before but painting this figure must be like painting a car. Take a look at what Sabrina has to say about how she pulled off the striping of this figure:
“Astrotrain’s a tricky fella being the first triple changer that I’ve worked with. His white stripes was painstakingly taped and airbrushed on. His glossy grey was achieved through a very light shade of highly diluted black.”
Sabrina is winding up her Henkei series so if you want a chance to own a Transformer from one of the best, head over to eBay and check out her Custom Henkei Astrotrain.
Continuing her Henkei custom line, Sabrina Ng puts paint to plastic with one of my favorites from the G1 era with her Custom Transformers Henkei Sunstreaker figure. I have to hand it to her because every custom she does comes out so flawless. In vehicle mode, the paint job is so smooth and glossy, it is hard to believe that this is a toy as the photo looks like it belongs in a showroom. Not only does she have the skill to paint flawlessly but she also can mod the figure to put that finishing touch on it. For example, she swapped out the fists for some better looking ones. To view more photos, head over to eBay!
Manana109 pays homage to one of the most, in my opinion, undercustomized figures of the line with his Custom Transformers Leader Class Brawl figure. I love the camo job as it is really detailed and the browns really stand out on the figure, giving it more definition. If you want to see more photos, head over to eBay!
Paying homage to the great Frenzy.Runble, MacrosFA-19 gives us his version of the towering Decepticon Stunticon combiner with his Custom G1 Transformers Menasor figure. I love when customizers throw down and kitbash because the results are awesome and impressive. The choice of figures for this combiner was nicely selected and the color choices for the figures pay a great homage to the 1980’s classic generation 1 Menasor. Let’s hear more from MacrossFA-19 himself:
“This awesome combiner, inspired by Frenzy Rumble, stands at a towering 15 3/4″. As tall as Unicrons and Primus, but perfectly fitting for the Transformers Classics line. These Stunticons have been reformatted and repainted to fit in with the new Transformers Classics line. Each one can still fully transform and can combine. They have been carefully painted with quality durable Tamiya paints and overcoated with a matte finish to prevent color fading and chipping.”
There are a ton of photos over on Macros’ auction page so head over to eBay and check out his Custom G1 Transformers Menasor figure.
For all you Transformers Alternator fans out there, XavierCal has made some familiar faces and added them to the line of diecast Decepticons with his Custom Transformers Alternators Seekers Starscream Thundercracker & Skywarp figures. In the Alternators world, there are no jets so XavierCal has filled a big gap in the line by providing fans a chance to own these classic Decepticons by replicating them from the Battle Ravage and Tracks Alternator Corvette molds. What a fitting car to model the seeker jets after. I picture them tearing down the streets in a 100% American muscle car. Head over to eBay to view what they look like in vehicle mode!
Pulling out all the stops and literally going for gold, Frenzy.Rumble has outdone himself and 24 karat gold painted various parts of this exclusive Custom Masterpiece MP-08 Grimlock figure. Just to be clear, all of the gold details on Frenzy.Rumble’s Grimlock (excluding his chest) are real gold lead, which is 24 karat. Let’s outline the other details of this figure:
- Small button changes the eye colors of Grimlock’s robot mode AND dinosaur mode (red or blue)
- Button “snaps” his mouth closed
- Red LED light in hand light up his energon sword (included) and energon blaster (also included) through small button on his shoulder
- Several parts on this custom are die cast
- Tail swivels and connects to neck in dinosaur mode
This giant masterpiece figure has been air brushed with automotive primer. Layers of lacquer and enamel paints ensure the BEST possible paint to withstand transformation and usage. Every detail has been meticulously painted and highlighted. He was primed with a special plastic adhering primer, base coated (via air brush) with a strong enamel based neutral gray. He was then coated with lacquer based gray, then coated with a metallic clear coat – finally sealed with Testor’s “dull coat” sealer. Grimlock’s paint is VERY durable, strong and colorfast (will retain it’s hue for MANY years and is immune to UV damage).
Seriously, this paint ap looks phenomenal so don’t miss you chance to own this one of a kind Custom Masterpiece MP-08 Grimlock figure that is decked out in 24 karat gold accents.
I really liked the Transformers Universe version of Cyclonus when it came out but TonyzCustoms has taken it back in time and to the next level with his Custom Transformers Universe 2 Cyclonus figure. Paying homage to the Transformers Cartoon Movie from the 80’s and the concept art that is available for this figure, TonyzCustoms did an excellent job coming up with a paint ap that is very complimentary. The contrasting purples work great with each other and highlights the features of the figure very well. The figure also comes with Nightstick so better head over to eBay and check out TonyzCustoms Custom Transformers Universe 2 Cyclonus figure.
Taking a break from her Henkei series, Sabrina Ng brings us her latest gem with her Custom Alternity Optimus Prime figure. The design of the figure is awesome and Sabrina takes it to the next level by paying homage to the classic version with the reds and blues in her signature style. It is not often when I do comparisons like this but I felt the need to show what this figure used to be and show it side by side with Sabrina’s to show you how talented she is:
Looking at the two together really points out how a great paint ap can bring out the personality of the figure. The bland colors on the orignial figure mutes the whole figure while applying the paint aps in the right places gives the figure a totally different style. To see more photos and to place a bid on Sabrina Ng’s Custom Alternity Optimus Prime figure, head over to eBay!
Crefigz applies his mad skills to this popular Decepticon with his Custom Revenge of the Fallen Soundwave figure. I have seen the original paint scheme from Hasbro and I have to say that Crefigz’ version is 1000% improved and not even in the same league. He pays homage to the 80’s figure with some of the blues throughout the figure. I can’t wait for the mass release of these figures because if Crefigz’ work is a prelude to the great things to come, sign me up! Crefigz has one of the most stellar painting techniques I have come across so if you want a figure with a paint scheme that is above and beyond anything you will ever see, head over to eBay and check out his Custom Revenge of the Fallen Soundwave figure.
Sixth in her series of Henkei figures, Sabrina Ng works her magic with one of my favorite G1 characters with her Custom Henkei Transformers Hound and Ravage figures. Being a military history fan, I was drawn to Hound as he is a military jeep decked out in classic olive green, which Sabrina has captured quite nicely! I love the additions of the gold stripes and modded fists, which puts a nice finishing touch on the figure. Sabrina’s style makes plastic shine like a new car (although without the new car smell) so if you want a figure from one of the best, head over to eBay and check out her Custom Henkei Transformers Hound and Ravage figures.
Hot on the heels of his Custom G1 Inferno come Frenzy.Rumble’s Custom G1 Transformers Universe Grapple figure. Hasbro is known for taking a toy and making many paint variations and modifications to it and Grapple and Inferno (along with Ironhide and Ratchet) were no exceptions so I was very happy to see figure. I think Frenzy.Rumble nailed the yellow color and did an excellent job with constructing the hook and hydraulic crane. He also added some great effects which you can view below:
What do you get when you cross a Transformers Hound figure, a McFarlane Master Chief figure, and an Actionclix Warthog? You get newobmij’s Custom Halo Transformers Crossover Master Chief figure. You have to love the creativity of customizers. To take 3 distinct figures and meld them together takes a great mind and the execution of this figure is awesome! The color goes really well in either the Halo or Transformers Universe so head over to eBay and check out this Custom Halo Transformers Crossover Master Chief figure.
Xaviercal adds another seeker jet to the line up with his Custom Transformers Animated Thundercracker figure. The styling harkins back to the 80’s with the G1 color scheme. Xaviercal nailed the G1 color blue of the classic figure and the way the figure was painted really brings out the detail in the various parts. I like the use of silver on the arms and the feet. I would like to welcome Xaviercal to the biz and wish him luck in his future endeavors and if this figure is a taste of what’s to come, I can’t wait to see more so head over to eBay and check out his Custom Transformers Animated Thundercracker figure.
Sabrina’s 5th installment in her Henkei series features this stunning Custom Optimus Prime figure. She nailed the color red on this one. The richness of the colors always amazes me coupled with the deep blues and greys completes the figure. One aspect that I love about her customs is the shading she puts into the figures, giving them a realistic metal look. She also has her 4th installment up on eBay as well so head over there and check out her custom Henkei Transformers figures.
