Custranz Custom Transformers: Carrion

 Custranz Custom Transformers has created another tape deck Transformer in his line of Custom Transformers, Carrion is like Lazerbeak in shape and even sometimes fear but when a dead or dying Autobot is found, he will dissect the remains to salvage and create his own evil machines to fight off the Autobots. Armed with a energy vacumm to drain the life source of Autobots and even Humans, this is a dangerous, cruel, heartless Decepticon to fly 

I ask Custranz a few questions about his creations 
I asked:  I want to know what inspies you to build these cassetes?
Custranz: DAMN GOOD QUESTION! I'M INSPIRED BY DIFFERENT THINGS, SOME TIMES A MOVIE I'VE SEEN, SOME TIMES A TRANSFORMER THAT ALREADY EXISTS. I USUALLY STATRT BY LOOKING OVER THE PIECE, AND LETTING IT SPEAK TO ME, OFTEN THE CHARACTER WILL FORM ALONG WITH HTE DESIGN, CARRION WAS A MOMENT OF PURE CREATIVITY, LITRALLY A CASE OF THIS BIT IS GOING TO BE RED, THIS BIT BLACK, THE STICKERS ARE THE FIRST TO BE DESIGNED, THE REST COMES AFTER THAT
I asked: how did you make these seem with clear platic? 
Custranz: THEY ARE MADE OF CLEAR PLASTIC, IT USES THE KO CLEAR ORANGE LASERBEAK

Xavier Cal's: Transformers Custom Movie Motormaster

 The Mastermind and genius himself, Xavier Cal, has created one of the best customs I had ever saw. A really unique take on the leader and commander Motormaster for the movie yet with G1 proprotions including the use of the front of the truck mode for his feet as used originally in the old cartoon. It got me thinking though if this is Motormaster over twice the size of a deluxe class Transformer, imagine him fully combined with the Stunticons, I would not mess around with a brute force, destructive character like that 








Jin Saotome's Dangerous Customs: Transformers Generations Universe G2 Cyberjet Deluxe Class Hooligan

 Hooligan, like Air Raid and Strafe, is part of Jin Saotome's Dangerous Toys line called the G2 Cyberjet with the similar mold from the body of Space Case from Dark of the Moon and/or Tomahawk from the Hunt for the Decepticons but with this crazy new Tiger stripped pattern and weapon that came from a Human Alliance Basic from Dark of the Moon and the head from the Power Core Combiners line. Jin Saotome says it's his favorite one from his personal line of Cyberjets and loves the awesome Tiger like pattern

Long Haul Creations: Custom Transformers ROTF Robot Replica's Bludgeon

Bludgeon was nearly destroyed in a fight with Autobot Whirl, he escaped the battle to re-energize and to rebuild himself into a more Superior Decepticon Samurai. Now Bludgeon wants to get back in the action to help the Decepticons with their plots to reign supreme, destroy humanity, and finish the fight. 

Long Haul Creations used a Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen N.E.S.T. Global Alliance Voyager Class Bludgeon released in 2010 with an awesome new shield and head based on the custom one released. A few more modifications, paint scheme, and ROTF Robot Replica's Bludgeon is born. To me, the paint on Bludgeon's face looks incredible, you can see the crevices and dirt detail with a very evil expression on his face
