![[Alternators Thundercracker] This guy is was actually part of my personal Alternators collection. I sold most of them off and misplaced him and Skywarp. I found TCracker today and touched him up.
This is simply an Armada seeker head attached to the Tracks body. Head was repainted and all Autobot decals removed and changed to Cons. I kept him looking factory to make him match the other figures in my former collection.
Thanks for looking,

I've had a hard time getting to work on my customs lately. Hopefully I'll have some more stuff to post soon. I've been wanting to try my hand at a transformer custom for a long time. I finally finished one. I just gave tracks a head from a Star Wars Transformer and repainted the whole thing. I have to give props to all you Transformer customizers, they are a lot of work.](userimages/customs/30500/30126-1.jpg) Fett's Vette |
![[Optimus Prime] I've seen a few customs of this figure and have been tempted for a while to remove the back kibble. Today I bit my lip, took out a sculpting knife and hacked at the connector......Ooooh.
Nah I actually carefully snipped away the parts of the swivel area. Then I did a quick modification of a roadbot axe, while the paints were out I did a quick redeco of some bland areas in black on pimes not-windows or windows? And his ab grill area then used a cocktail stick to trace the lines where I chose. Done
Now prime has an axe and shield and can go all medievil on ya.
The cab roof/sheild was not damaged in any way and slips back in for tuck mode, also used the two prongs to wedge it into his folded down fist and outer arm.](userimages/customs/27500/27370-1.jpg) Optimus Prime | ![[Wheeljack] So the wife got me this for xmas, LIKE HECK I had to buy him meself LOL HA HA HA!

![[Optimus Prime] This figure though not great could be better looking with the most basic paintjob just a few minor paint apps.
I mean come on, the indents are there for the arm details lazy manufacturing process.
So I set to work with antique gold enamal on the crotch plate, legs, feet and wrists.
Ta dah....Ok not spectacular but a vast improvement for 10 minutes work.](userimages/customs/27000/26585-1.jpg) Optimus Prime | ![[Alternator Prowl] This was my first atempt at taking apart and painting a TF Alternator, so its a bit messy. I gave it a paint job to match the G1 colours, I swaped haeds and hands from a knock off Prowl figure and added lights from another toy, not sure what know. I ask repro labels if they could do some G1 style decals, which they did. Thank repro.](userimages/customs/12500/12107-1.jpg) Alternator Prowl |
![[G1 colour Smokescreen] I removed the regular decals with white spirit. Then it was a simple repaint and I added some decals from repro labels which they made for me on request.](userimages/customs/12000/11925-1.jpg) G1 colour Smokescreen | ![[ACTION MASTER KICK OFF] I always liked the action master characters and he was one of my favorites. I bought a used one of the net (hence no side view mirrors or muffler gun) with him specifically in mind. I filed down the horns on his head and just gave it a repaint since they were so similar. painted the detail on the body and copied the decals from a police graphics site. He also has a license plate with his name and my state (NC) on it. The banner at the top of the star says IACON. The siren lights are from a RID Prowl. The rocket pack comes from a Sigma 6 weapon with some apoxie and wings from somewhere. Handguns are from a G1 seeker and can be joined to make a double barelled gun or attach to the jetpack in flight mode. I had to have them fit on the jetpack for that true action master feel.](userimages/customs/10000/9936-1.jpg) ACTION MASTER KICK OFF |

![[Ricochet Wheeljack] I removed the lame flames that the original Ricochet had and added a white racing stipe using an airbrush.
I painted the wheels with Testors red enamel and then Testors Model Master Stop Light Red which is a cool metallic red!
Details on the robot were painted by hand to make him look worn and metallic.
I made a shoulder mountable laser cannon painted chrome with wear and metal corrosion marks.
All the gold parts including the robot face were re-painted with a better Testors gold.](userimages/customs/8000/7584-1.jpg) Ricochet Wheeljack | ![[Arcee] Kyle's Transformers Alternators Arcee, D.O.B. 11/12/07

Hood flame was removed with rubbing alcohol.](userimages/customs/5500/5085-1.jpg) Thrust - Alternators |
![[Dirge - Alternators] Since Ricochet's colors (with a couple touch ups) looked so much like Ramjet, and since Ricochet can be had relatively cheap for Alts these days, it was time to complete the second wave seekers.
Dirge is a straight up repaint,Blue Angel blue body, with gold hood, blacked out lights and rear spoiler. Everything was airbrushed (except the head and forearms), clear coated, and stickers are from Reprolabels.](userimages/customs/5500/5084-1.jpg) Dirge - Alternators | ![[Alternators Cyclonus] Cyclonus was cold, evil, and sorely missed from the Alternators line. With a spare Grimlock body, Alt Sideswipe's melon, and a bit of purple paint, Cyclonus was honestly the only thing that came to mind. Running out of grape pearl, I thought the two tone scheme with Grimlock's original silver would work o.k.
After complete disassembly, lower body panels were airbrushed purple as well as the biceps. Seats and pelvis were done in gloss black, and the headlight lenses in silver. I modified SS's noggin by shaving off the mohawk piece, and lowering and rounding off the ears to facilitate better transformation, and then hand-painted it as close to a G1 tribute as possible. Decepticon logos and license plate are from Reprolabels and Decepticon Air Force badge came from MP Starscream.](userimages/customs/5000/4749-1.jpg) Alternators Cyclonus |
![[Alternators Beachcomber] Beachcomber was one of my favorite TFs when I was growing up ... not sure why, maybe the colors, maybe the cool dune buggy ... and despite his weird personality on the cartoon, I wanted to bring him into the Alternators. Having worked with the Jeep mold for Bonecrusher (which was a major PITA), I avoided redoing BC as that vehicle and was determined to pick one less obvious.
The head is from Alternators Grimlock, and I ground off the ears and painted the head similar to his G1 colors, but leaving the visor blue (all Autobots should have blue eyes, right?). The body was primarily air brushed with a custom mix of blue pearl and silver, while the hood was painted silver ... going for sort of a California beach cruiser look. Interior was painted silver, and the seats were given blue inserts. For the most part SS's existing blue and black details remained.](userimages/customs/5000/4732-1.jpg) Alternators Beachcomber | ![[Alternators Megatron] Well, if you saw the Alt. Bumblebee I posted earlier and wondered what happened to Decepticharge's head, well, here it is!
After removing the flames from Ricochet with rubbing alcohol, I partially diassembled it in order to paint the forearms and legs silver, and spoiler and wheels gloss black. I blacked out the head and tail lights and painted the fog lamps with red enamel, to give Megs that murdered-out look. A bit of custom head paint, decepticon badges and license plate from Reprolables, and viola ... Alternators Megatron.
Sure, he's a little short, but screw him, he's evil and gets what he gets!](userimages/customs/5000/4731-1.jpg) Alternators Megatron |
![[Alternators Bumblebee] Bumblebee's one of the greatest, and I decided to do this custom after watching the F&F Tokyo Drift movie, hence the "Tokyo Drift" style livery.
This one was really quite simple and fast. I swapped heads with Alternators Ricochet, and painted it to resemble BB's traditional colors. All of the Decepticharge racing decals were removed with rubbing alcohol (except for the windshield), and then I air brushed the hood, trunk lid, and spoiler gloss back. Wheels painted flat black, and I simply attached an extra roof piece from Alternators Windcharger. Black and gold autobot chest badge and goldbug license plate (not visible) are from ReproLabels.
He's a bit on the tall side, but, you know, whatever. It's about time Bumblebee gets to tower of the other TFs.](userimages/customs/5000/4706-1.jpg) Alternators Bumblebee | ![[Alternators Barricade] I hadn't seen any Alternator customs based on the new TF movie, and since Barricade was my favorite movie character and since I had a knock-off, I thought I'd give it a crack. The Grimlock knock off had a unique head mold, which I tried to paint to loosely represent the movie character, with gold mouth, red eyes, and silver accents.
After complete disassembly, the body was air brush painted with acrylic black gloss and flat white for the doors. Seats and a few other accents were painted in dark gray, wheels painted flat back, and the fog lamps painted gold. Police letter stickers, car numbers, and the decepticon badges on the front fenders came from the Takara Masterpiece Starscream sticker sheet. Gold decepticon shoulder badges are from ReproLabels. All new paint was clear coated after sticker application.
Light bar came from a snap together Chevy Impala police car model, and the ramming bar was fabricated from various round plastic bits that held the Chevy model's twist-off pie](userimages/customs/5000/4705-1.jpg) Alternators Barricade |

I used spray paint for just about everything. Painting with the spray worked out perfect ! (after years of trial & error)
Gave him a weathered look & scuffed him up a little on the moving 'bot parts.
Head mod was done by cutting the ears on an opposite angle & shaving off the goatee
This character is based on Razorclaw, the leader of the evil decepticon sub group, the Predacons, who was based on a Lion/robot transformer back in the day.
I'd post a pic. but only 4 pics allowed....you can always Google.....I will update when possible.
I've brought him to life in the Alternators series, where anyone can be a car !... in this case a '05 Mustang GT.
I wanted this to be a very simple/believable Mustang, while making it obvious that it's Razorclaw, thought the base figure was perfect for this custom.
I worked on him part time for about 8 months on/off to get this result, kept putting i](userimages/customs/4500/4214-1.jpg) Razorclaw Alternator |
![[War Torn Hound] Battle damage ?....how 'bout WAR TORN ! ! !
This guy's gonna need a new everything !....'cept steering wheel - lol.
Inspiration came from a fellow fan and all the old beat up Jeeps in my home town.
I wanted him to look like he'd been duckin'& rollin' for cover too many times...on concrete.
Added a gun & ammo belt from Commando Spawn 2
Also added detailed muddy feet (why not ?...he's a Jeep !) but...only 4 pics allowed, will update when possible.

Upgrades include extra long smoke stacks custom made in Japan and a painted/weathered gun.
Figure is made mostly of plastic but does have metal legs and chest so getting the damage to flow from one to the other was a bit of a challenge.
I also added some similar damage, lower left side, he sustained in the 1986 Transformers Movie, it ended up being a fatal wound.](userimages/customs/4000/3899-1.jpg) Battle Damage Optimus Prime |
