First, more updated Headmasters I created a long while ago. The basic story jumps off the bio for the Botcon Weirdwolf, in which Weirdwolf and his partner Monzo were separated. Because the procedure was new and hastily done, it left Weirdwolf a little more, well, weird. I applied this to SnapDragon, Apeface, and Skullcruncher. The idea being that the procedure was improved and reworked, then used to separate the other Headmaster animals from their partners. The catch though, is that their fighting abilities are only at their peak if they're within close proximity of one another. So even if they argue over something, they'd be extremely reluctant to go their separate ways because they'll become overwhelmed by a diminished feeling. That and after you've been that close for that long... I equate it to the episode of Family Guy where Stewie and Brian wound up glued to each other. After their hands are finally unglued, they walk off holding hands anyway.
The second part of these customs, should I ever go back to them, would be to repaint some minicons into their respective partners.
Apeface, a good learning experience, especially in regards to the robot head. I yanked it off a TF Movie Dropkick because of how much it reminded me of the G1 Apeface's original look, but it was just too small. The way it's set up, you can't simply swap out the Cybertron Primal's head with Dropkick, it sits atop the ball joint and wabbles horribly. Because I'm impatient and not really into doing major modifications, I just left it as is. Oh well.
Snapdragon. I'm much happier with the way he turned out. To me, the Classics Grimlock mold works great at being everything *except* Grimlock.
And Skullcruncher. I've always loved his original figure, but I was amazed by how well the Cybertron Megatron works as an upgrade.
Oh yes, I never posted finished pictures of Boss. Now that I actually have the Botcon set that includes Thunderclash and the rest, I look at my custom and think he's a little bright and glossy, but ah well, what are you going to do? Here we are:
And Snare, who I think *really* works well standing next to the Botcon Skyquake:
