Halloween brings out another side in customers. I am used to seeing the Marvel Legends figures done up Zombie style but this is the first Transformers figure I have seen done this way and I have to say I am liking it! To commemorate Halloween 2009, Frenzy.Rumble has created this one of a kind Custom Toxic Zombie Transformers Jetfire figure. What you are seeing in the photo above is not an optical illusion but a “special mix of paint and micoscopic beads to create the ‘toxic slime’ effect” that glows in the dark. This figure looks awesome in robot mode as well so if you want to view more photos, head over to eBay and check out Frenzy.Rumble’s Custom Toxic Zombie Transformers Jetfire figure.
It was only a matter of time before this behemoth of a Transformers hit the scene and I am happy to see that one of my favorite customizers taking on this challenge. If you follow Frenzy.Rumble on Twitter and put 2 and 2 together, you could have guessed that he was working this Custom Revenge of the Fallen Devastator Transformers figure. When Devastator formed in the movie, it was one of the highlights for me and it is great to see that Frenzy.Rumble has give each of the six figures his undivided attention to make this figure the work of art that it is. Some of my favorite parts of this custom are the added articulation in key areas and the ability for the vortex to stay open like in the movie. Make the jump to eBay to see Frenzy.Rumble’s Custom Revenge of the Fallen Devastator Transformers figure in all its glory!
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.”
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.
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

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.”

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:

Frenzy.Rumble has a one of a kind creation up this week with his Custom Transformers Autobot X figure.

- Right Hand is from MP Prime (man that hurt cutting him up for this, but the size was perfect)

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.”
To truly appreciate the fine details that went into this collaborative effort, head over to eBay and check out this amazing Custom Transformers Devastator G1 Combiner figure.
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.
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:
Frenzy.Rumble just made a great addition to his Custom Transformers Universe Inferno figure by adding the classic Generation 1 style ladder. I don’t know why this was not part of the original design but it is customizers like Frenzy.Rumble that do the jobs the toy companies fail to do year after year.
Frenzy.Rumble has the ability to take a mediocre figure (at best) and turn it into a figure that you will want to have as the centerpiece of your collection. The intricate detail to his Custom Transformers Universe Inferno figure must takes talent to transform the plastic into a realistic looking fire truck and is a 1000% improvement to the Transformers Universe figure. There are many subtleties to this figure and I like the way that he has made the tires realistic looking (if you remember the original figure, it had red rims) as well as the hoses, the lights, and bumpers. It takes a lot of patience to do this work but as you can see it is very rewarding. My favorite part of this custom is the Autobot symbol on the front, which for G1 fans, is how the original Inferno rolled! To see more photos of this great custom, head over to eBay and check out Frenzy.Rumble’s Custom Transformers Universe Inferno figure.

Which set of eyes do you think would look the best? If you have a preference, take the poll I just created located in the right bottom module.
Frenzy.Rumble has outdone himself again and who would of thought he could top his Custom Devastator Combiner I featured a few weeks ago? This week, he has tackled one of the great G1 combiners of the 80’s with his Custom 18″ Defensor figure, which is made up of the five Protectobots (Hot Spot, Blades, Streetwise, Groove, and First Aid) you see below:
Frenzy.Rumble did a bang up job capturing the essence of this classic combiner with the color choice, which is spot on, and his choice of figures. He also added some great features, which include LED lights that flash and siren sounds. I was told by Frenzy.Rumble himself that he will have 5 bonus items throughout the duration of this auction so check back often to get the latest updates! Not only is Frenzy.Rumble one of the best customizers out there, he also is a stunning photographer who takes the coolest pictures of his customs so head over to eBay and check out more photos and place a bid while you are there for his Custom 18″ Defensor figure.
Getting his hands on the rare Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen figure, Frenzy.Rumble has once again worked his magic and turned this mediocre Soundwave into a figure worthy enough for Megatron. His Custom Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen Soundwave is the first of its kind that I have seen customized and kudos to Frenzy.Rumble for seeking this one out and doing a bang up job! Let’s remind ourselves about how Soundwave used to look before the customization:
The original figure is quite dreadful but par for the course for Hasbro. Let’s look at the vehicle mode customized:
I like the way Frenzy.Rumble used the same color palate and really enhanced this figure to bring out the intricacies of the figure. The detail simply gets lost in the original figure. If you want a chance to own this awesome figure WAY before it is released, head over to eBay and bid on Frenzy.Rumble’s Custom Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen Soundwave.
Over the years, I have seen many awesome Devastator customs and before I get into the details of MalsMasterpieces Custom G1 Transformers Masterpiece Devastatorfigure, I have to give props to Frenzy.Rumble for providing great inspiration to so many customizers out there. Back in June 2008, I featured Frenzy.Rumble’s Custom G1 Devsastator and there have been many great customs that have been modeled after it. It is great that the customizing community provides such great inspiration to everyone.
For MalsMasterpieces’ Custom G1 Transformers Masterpiece Devastator figure, he chose a great hue for the base color green that resonates with the Generation 1 feeling from the 80’s. MalsMasterpieces’ gives us more detail on this great figure:
“As this custom becomes more popular, since it was announced that the 2009 Movie Transformers:Revenge of the fallen will have the combiner Devastator figure added to the cast. This custom will only grow in popularity. Authenticity is the #1 priority for most collectors and that was my main goal in creating this custom. I have seen this custom done before but there was always something not accurate or unproportioned about the figure. I wanted to master this custom by keeping authenticity and proportion the main goals. This made for a high level difficulty of completion, but this is what I came up with. A lot of Hasbro/Takara figures were massacred in order to create this one of a kind masterpiece, but i think it was well worth it. Not only did I keep the figure 95% Hasbro/Takara but he is fully functional, meaning that all 6 figures transform from vehicle mode to combiner mode with ease, as well as into full Devastation mode. To conclude, this Masterpiece is the holy grail for transformer lovers because of its closeness to the animated series from the 80’s, the Devastator we all wanted growing up but Hasbro or Takara never produced. If you have the devastator from the 80’s then you’ll understand how much this custom is really worth.”
Frenzy.Rumble is back on the scene with an exclusive treat that will not be out in the US for another few weeks and the best part is that they are customized in their Generation 1 likeness. His Custom Transformers Universe Hound and Ravage figures are the epitome of the 1980’s and Frenzy.Rumble has outdone himself once again by using the very effective olive green (for Hound) and silver and black (for Ravage) to capture that G1 flavor that fans clamor for. Like all of Frenzy.Rumble’s customs, the finish and paint aps are like glass and you know that he goes out of his way to please fans. Let’s learn more about these great customs from the source:
“Hound was one of my favorite Autobots as a kid, and who doesn’t love Ravage? Transformer Universe Hound and Ravage won’t be available in US retaill for another month, but here they are …and they’re customized. With Hound, I removed the existing hands, and replaced them with fully poseable hands, which can point, wave, make a fist and more. These new hands actually fold into the forearms when transforming into alternate mode. I achieved Hound’s awesome green color using 6 shades of green. All the detail was painful to add on, but suits the figure very well. His Jeep mirrors are painted with chrome to give a great reflection. I later added custom made decals, such as the faction symbol, army stars and vehicle ID tags. There’s even been a custom California license plate added with the text : HOUND1. I also replaced the ugly tires which this figure came with for some authentic Jeep Wrangler rubber type tires. For Ravage, I repainted the entire figure and added a metallic look to his limbs, a faction symbol, and tiny details, like glowing red eyes and shiny silver teeth.
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. This is a must-have and definite collectible for G1 and movie fans alike”
The War Within Transformers comic book mini-series takes place on Cybertron before the Transformers came to earth. Building upon this theme, Frenzy.Rumble has created his version of a Cybertronian Tank in the form of this Custom Transformers War Within Grimlock figure. Using the Transformers Universe Onslaught as the base figure, Frenzy.Rumble has really made this figure his own and given it a completely fresh look with a familiar face. The paint aps are stunning on this figure and he gives the vehicle mode some cool extras, not to mention the killer battle scars. Let’s read more about how Frenzy.Rumble made this great figure:
“There’s lots of cool extras and customizing done on Grimlock. To start, I resculpted the head to best resemble Grimlock, I painted the visor red, and the eyes light up using a small button on his back. The gray base color was achieved using several shades of gray, all the way to an almost white. The gun comes from a Gundam model kit and was painted to match this custom. The gun was also custom made, and the ammo belt actually fits into a small groove on the gun. He also makes lots of sounds… and lights up in various spots (alt mode lights on top)!!! As for the alt mode (Cybertronian Tank)… I wanted to give Grimlock maximum firepower. I made some custom guns that mount onto small pegs up towards the front. The guns can pivot upwards, downwards, and slightly outwards so Grimlock won’t have a problem locking onto any target. I also added some accessories to his alt mode, like the metal sections towards the back, the pipes on his back door, and the spare tire.”
If thiscustom could not get any sicker, Frenzy.Rumble has added his third bonus installment in the form of kickass forearm cannons! Here is more detail on them from the source:
“These custom made arm cannon guns fit perfectly on Menasor’s forearms. On each of these guns, fit the small pistols from the individual Stunticons. If you look in the slide show above, you will see these guns all split apart and match a Stunticon. Yellowfor Dragstrip, maroonfor Deadend, redfor Wildrider, and whitefor Breakdown. Each arm cannon holds 2 pistols, giving Menasor maximum autobot blasting power.”
This just in! Frenzy.Rumble has added Menasor’s Sword to the ever popular Custom G1 Transformers Menaor figure. Read the original article or head over to eBay to check out all of the awesome photos.
If this custom could not get any hotter, Frenzy.Rumble has just informed me that he added Motormaster’s Trailer to the most sought after Custom Transformers G1 Menasor Combiner figure. Check out the original review of Menasor to see the other figures in all thier glory.
When I first saw Frenzy.Rumble’s Custom Transformers Menasor G1 figure I was at a loss for words, which is not good for a blogger When I composed myself, I began looking closer at this work of art that stands over 17″ tall and began to see how awesome this figure truly is. Due to the fact that the sum of the parts make the whole, let me start with the Stunticons themselves:
Motormaster
Breakdown
Deadend
Dragstrip
Wildrider
Let me stress that this is not a repaint of the G1 Menesor but it is actually 5 distinct Stunitcons that combine to make Menasor. Each Stunticon looks to be painstakingly detailed and Menasor is the beautiful creation that is made up of them. The colors on this one remind me a lot of the Generation 1 combiner and each figure resembles their former self from the 1980’s. Stay tuned for updates as Frenzy.Rumble has informed us that there will be 3 bonuses added to his Custom Transformers Menasor G1 as it progresses for check back often.
Taking on the minibot, FrenzyRumble uses the Transformers Universe line as a base for his Custom Transformers Animated G1 Powerglide figure. There is nothing mini about this Autobot as the Transformers Universe line gave this little a hero an upgrade to Ultra Class. Giving Powerglide a much needed Generation 1 makeover, FrenzyRumble describes his painting technique and process to get his figures just right:
“This time around, I actually dyed the original figure in a burgundy plastic dye bath. This tedious process left my stove and hands bright red for a week, but more importantly changed the white plastic to a deep burgundy red. This ensures any scratches, dings, etc, would only expose burgundy, rather than white. Like all my customs, I went over the edge with detail. EVERY detail is painted to perfection. The red was actually achieved using various blending and dry brushing techniques. There are roughly 10 or more shades of red. The arms and legs were painted in various shades of metallic silvers, golds, coppers, and gunmetal. Nothing beats the amazing results from enamel metallics….it will actually shimmer in the light. On Powerglide’s plane mode, there is an American flag (which can be changed to your countries’ flag) and near his cockpit, are traditional “kill point” markings, showing the number of Decepticons he’s taken down. 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. In addition, he’s got lots of sounds and lights. Pressing a small button in Warthog (plane) mode the cockpit and jet exhausts light up. Pressing that same button in robot mode lights up his eyes (although painted light blue to resemble his cartoon persona) This is a must-have and definite collectible for G1 and movie fans alike. “
I am also excited to inform you that FrenzyRumble has decided to make customs his full time passion so I am expecting many more great Custom Transformers in the future so stay tuned!
I never thought I would be writing about another Punch Counterpunch custom but here I am! This week, Frenzy.Rumble has remade a Generation 1 classic figure with his Custom Transformers Punch Counterpunchfigure. Made from the Transformers Universe Sunstreaker figure, one of the coolest features about this custom are the customs lasers for each figure (which you can view below). This is one of the coolest customs because it is like getting two robots in one. The car mode is really slick and simple the red rims compliment the figure nicely. Find out how much blood, sweat, and tears (of joy of course), went into making this figure by reading more below:
Punch Counterpunch G1 Custom by Frenzy.Rumble
The auction is for one transformer, with 2 robot forms; Counterpunch (the Decepticon) and Punch (the Autobot). Read the “Character Description” below to learn more about this awesome double-spy Transformer. To make his head, I actually took 2 other Transformer heads, cut them in half and welded them together with apoxy resin. His hands are articulated too! There are arm-mounted lasers for both Autobot and Decepticon forms, which shoot a real powerful laser light. Counterpunch is the version with blacks and blues, his laser is RED. Punch is the version with the yellow shoulders and chest, his laser is BLUE. There’s even an authentic working heat sensitive faction symbol on his chest. This figure has been meticulously detailed with several shades of silver, blue and yellow, an array of metallic colors, and many other colors. EVERY detail is painted to perfection. All paints used in the process were 100% enamels, 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, all matte, semi-gloss, and gloss variations.

Head over to his Custom Transformers G1 Devastator auction to read more!
When frenzy.rumble tackles a Transformers project, he goes BIG! Take a look at his latest creation, a 16″ Custom Transformers Devastator Combiner figure. I really like frenzy.rumble’s artistic liberties he has taken with this behemoth as I think it is a vast improvement to the original Devastator while still retaining the classic Generation 1 styling we all know and love. First off, you may notice the absence of a pretty dominant color purple that was the focal point of the 1980’s classic. He has gone with a metallic look where there used to be purple and I think that adds very much to the look and feel of the figure. You can tell that this combiner has been painstakingly painted (as you can read below) as frenzy.rumble has achieved a nice Constructicon hue. frenzy.rumble goes into a bit more detail on how he created his masterpiece:
“Devastator is a combiner! This means he is 6 individual Constructicons that transform into construction vehicles, which combine into 1 gigantic Decepticon. In the slideshow below, you can scroll through the various pictures of each of these Constructicons, please note; there are 3 pages of slides. But if these aren’t enough, to see many more pictures (including how this masterpiece was created) search “frenzyrumble” on Google. (It should be the 1st result returned)There are over 30 points of articulation on Devastator…. his head is on a ball joint, waist slightly rotates, shoulders move in and out, arms have 360 rotation front/back ways, elbows bend, forearms rotate in and out, all fingers (minus thumbs) have 3 points each, leg/hip moves outwards and back, knees bend, lower legs rotate outward/inwards, feet pivot on ankle (Mixmaster only.) I built this custom starting with 6 individual transformers, which I completely took apart, removed any factory paint, and primed with plastic primer, which provides a very durable protective under paint. All paint you see is 100% enamel. It’s harder, and more durable than the customs you’ll see painted in acrylic. Also, enamel paints are ‘color-fast’; meaning they will retain their original color for 10+ years, whereas acrylics typically fade after 2-3 years. The yellowish-green is a result of 5 different shades. The silver metal robot parts on him were painted in 6 shades of silver, to give the ultimate metallic look.”
I will be revisiting this figure when frenzy.rumble adds his signature bonus later on in the auction. Bid on this awesome Custom Transformers Devastator figure on eBay today!

Taking a Leader Class Optimus Prime as the base of this figure, frenzy.rumble has created a truley unique custom and is in a class by itself. To be honest, I was speachless when I saw this custom you will see why in the coming photos and description. To kick it off, I will let frenzy.rumble do the honors:
“This auction is for the leader class Autobot Ultra Magnus, which stands about 12″ tall in robot mode. Created entirely from my imagination. Every single wire, detail, screw and millimeter has been carefully and perfectly detailed.”
Every aspect of this custom is amazing and from what frenzy.rumble has disclosed about the paint aps it must be bullet proof (8 layers + 3 coats of lacquer). I will first start off by commenting on the ‘Magnus’ robot, which is blue and white (pictured above). This is one of the best looking metallic paint jobs I have come accross and the blues and whites really pop, creating a cohesive looking color scheme for the base of Ultra Magnus. In truck mode, I love the huge silver Autobot symbol screams louder than a semi’s horn and is a great addition to the base Magnus figure. In his own words, he describes how the base is made:
“I built this custom starting with a leader class Optimus Prime, which I completely took apart, removed any factory paint, and primed with plastic primer, which provides a very durable protective under paint. All paint you see is 100% enamel. It’s harder, and more durable than the customs you’ll see painted in acrylic. Also, enamel paints are ‘color-fast’ meaning they will retain their original color for 10+ years, where-as acrylics typically fade after 2-3 years. The white paint used here is 8 layers thick including 3 layers of lacquer (clear coats) producing an INCREDIBLE shine (it’s even waxable with car polish). The first robot you see (in only blue/white) is called “Magnus.” The silver metal robot parts on him were painted in 6 shades of silver, to give the ultimate metallic look. This was done for the blue areas also.”
To turn Magnus into Ultra Magnus, frenzy.rumble has outfitted this Autobot with custom armor and has armed him to the teeth! Anyone could have stopped at this point and called it good with an Optimus repaint but frenzy.rumble has taken it to the next level.
The custom head sculpt and armor are what makes this custom unique and why this should be the Ultra Magnus to add to your collection. By donning the armor and head, the former Magnus figure takes on a totally new look and a bad ass persona. This is one of my favorite customs to date and to let us in on more detail, here is frenzy.rumble:
“Armored Ultra Magnus: This mother is armed to the teeth. There’s enough firepower on him to melt the decepticon army in a few blasts. All armor seen, was created using spare and extra parts from other transformers and action figures. The armor actually snaps or is magnetically attached to the base figure. His smokestacks were actually made from a woman’s make-up applicator! The gun (shown in one of the last photos) actually winds up moves. The custom head was made from spare ZOIDS parts and a knock-off Transformer, and sits magnetically on the neck base.”
He leave us with teaser that only the winning bidder with get to enjoy so head over to eBay and secure your spot in the running to own this Custom Transformers Ultra Magnus figure:
“To make Magnus into Ultra Magnus, you’d need to actually perform a 3rd one-of-a-kind transformation (which I will provide to the winner).”
frenzy.rumble displays his talent with his latest Custom Transformers Movie Brawl as he was seen the final battle with Jazz. Not only is this is Movie accurate paint scheme, he also took it one step further and added much needed battle damage to the figure. The damage is the right amount to give him a war torn look without going over board. Sometimes, less is more and frenzy.rumble has done just that adding the slashes, bullet holes, and blood in the right places. The paint aps are a great shade of military green and and he has even gone as far as detailing all of the metal components and adding “energon blood”, which he describes more below. Overall, this is one of the best Custom Brawl figures I have seen in a while and I am glad that he took this project on. frenzy.rumble describes how he created this great custom:
“This auction is for the leader class decepticon Brawl, which stands about 12″ tall in robot mode. The figure has been meticulously detailed with 14 shades of military green, an array of metallic colors, and many other colors. EVERY detail is painted to perfection… even the underside of the main turret. Dirt, sand, mud, and grime have been added to the tank’s treads and front areas. All ‘battle damage” was carefully added on using special apoxy materials, tools, and more, giving it a very accurate damaged and burnt look. Some damage even has color-accurate energon blood (the Transformers’ version of blood, but glowing, and blue) All paints used in the process were 100% enamels, so the finish is very durable, and the colors will stay vibrant and true for many years. (Keep in mind, this is a collectible, so don’t leave throw it around!) I finished him off with some Testor’s clear coats, all matte, semi-gloss, and gloss variations.”
frenzy.rumble had the vision to take the mediocre Transformers Movie Jazz figure and crafted it into a Generation 1 masterpiece with his Custom Transformers Movie Smokescreen figure. When I first saw this figure, I was thrown back by the craftsmanship that went into this one. I really thought I was looking at the original G1 Smokescreen as the colors and decals are a perfect match to the original. The paint almost has a glass appearance and it is really obvious that this figure was meticulously painted and matched to the original.
The G1 redeco’s are my favorite of the Transformers customs as the customizers who make these have a great vision for what will look great and frenzy.rumble’s customs rank up there at the top of my list! One of the aspects that sets other customizers apart is the ability to enhance their figures by seeking out parts that will take the figure to the next level. Let’s see how frenzy_rumble made this great looking figure:
“Smokescreen was built off a TFTM Jazz figure, G1 reco mold. His head comes from Armada Blurr, with some slight alterations. In order to compete against the spring on the head section, I installed a small peg behind his chest plate, this ensures that the head area and neck stay on a straight angle. Jazz’s ‘hands’ were no good, so I dremeled them off at the wrists. I drilled into the wrist a tight hole for a steel rod, and attached Gundam model fists onto the rods. They are articulated (spin) yet remain very tight. I removed some of the detail in his knee area, filled it in with some apoxie sculpt and painted with a deep metallic-red high gloss enamel. The pistols he weilds are from a clearance toy found at WalMart. I had the decals for the hood and doors custom made using a high quality 3M vinyl. The exterior was painted with Krylon Fusion Red and Blue, then robot mode was painted with about 99% enamels, so the finish is very durable. I finished him off with some Testors clear coats, all matte, semi-gloss, and gloss variations.”

I will be writing more about his customs in the coming days so stay tuned for more Custom Transformers greatness from frenzy.rumble.
When I composed myself, I began looking closer at this work of art that stands over 17″ tall and began to see how awesome this figure truly is. Due to the fact that the sum of the parts make the whole, let me start with the Stunticons themselves:
