Autobot X (7) by frenzy_rumble
“Autobot X” (or Autobot Spike) was custom built with the parts of about 100 “junker” transformers and other robotic toys. He has over 50 points of articulation/moving parts.
Some cool features
– Eyes light up
– Left Forearm opens for gun attachment
– Left upper arm opens to reveal gears
– Right arm has laser light built in
– Small button on back triggers “Transforming noise”
– 2nd small button on back triggers other sound effects
– Batteries are all easily replaceable
– Head was scratch built (using a Sigma 6 GI Joe for the face)
– Hydraulic on back of right leg really works
– Several parts are die cast and were cut to size and shape
– Over 11″ tall
As much as I like the black-and-gray DCSH Batman, he’s a little too buff to be my perfect Batman. I’ve been fiddling around with a custom Batman figure for ages, and recently I made a couple changes that may finally have made him cool enough to be my current “standard” Batman until such time as DCUC offers one with a pouch belt and black bat symbol.
His upper torso and arms come from the TRU exclusive Batman; the head, pelvis, and legs are from a DCUC Batman (and yes, could use some paint touch-ups, I know); and the belt and cape are from an Alex Ross Justice Batman.
What do you think, sirs?

One of my worst-kept secrets (in that I talk about it without even being asked) is my love for CSI: Miami. And since I must have everything I love turned into little movable plastic idols of some sort, I recently commissioned a Horatio Caine custom action figure. The customizer is one Matt Hancock, and let me tell you, he did some excellent work. (more…)
