After doing stuff with my Attacktix while watching reruns of Ben 10 on CN, I got a great idea for a rather elaborate custom series: Ben 10 Attacktix! The more I thought about the idea, the more I realized it would work: It's got characters for 10-point troopers, lots of fan-favorites, many secondary characters, and even characters that could be Megas. Anyway, using some sort of clay or something along those lines, I'm going to make the figures using Attacktix figs as their core(well, usually), remove the bases and labels from the bases of duplicate and broken-figure Attacktix, and relabel the bases and glue the new figures onto the bases. I've decided what "Series 1" will consist of, and their stats(I haven't decided completely on Special Powers, Attacktix Class, and attack type, however): Comment with any ideas or suggestions for additional characters, or figure stats you think should be changed.

I'd pondered something like this at one point but came to the conclusion that it would be very difficult to get many villains because of needing to include all of Ben's forms as well as his human form, Max, and Gwen.
I personally love to see a special set along the lines of the Intergalactic Battlepack. It'd just be the original ten forms as well as a Ben human form and a Vilgax figure. All of them would be gold-based and the whole thing would sell for somewhere around thirty dollars because the figures total up to six boosters for five dollars each.

Well, there's a lot of episodes where there were multiple villains(such as Last Laugh, Galactic Defenders, etc.), and since there's been so many Darth Vader figs, I thought that in future sets there could be the various forms of villains, i.e. Kevin, Kevin as Heatblast, Kevin as Fourarms, and Kevin 11. You've got a point there, though. I was also toying with the idea of the normal Kevin being a shooter that can fire any kind of missile, since his energy-absorbing power would allow him to do that. Ghostfreak or Upgrade would probably be a Emperor-style "Possess" figure.

You wouldn't release all of Ben's forms (up to 12 last I checked, plus weird hybrids from one ep, and Ben himself who'd have a Recruit ability) in set 1. You'd go with three or four at a time.

And with the yet to be shown Benwolf and the Omnitrix version of Megawhatt in series 4.I was also thinking of making Dr. Animo's Mutant Ray a Mega in Series 2, with a movement of 2(it's an inanimate object, what would it be?), cost of 50, and any figure hit by its REALLY light missile is replaced with an equal-point figure in either player's backups. Of course, Kevin 11 would be the other Mega, that's a given.

Okay, I think that this would work best if everyone collaborated on what the first 22 would be, so everyone who feels like it, suggest a character, with its stats.

sorry for the triple(!) post, but I felt that this warranted a bump. I have begun work on Greymatter, Diamondhead, and Heatblast. Their base figures will be Skyblast Robot Mode, Overhaul, and Rodimus, respectively. The Overhaul bullet will be altered to be a crystal, and the spear from Skyblast is going to be altered to look like a pencil. Pics will be posted as the project goes along.

vampapi-check out dvandoms custom thread! he made upgrade! Thanks for the tip! While it is a form of Upgrade, I'm making an un-fused Upgrade, so mine will probably differ a lot from that one. Oh well.

Unfortunately, no. I suffered a relatively deep cut to my right index finger when I was working on the Greymatter figure, about 1 mm deep, RIGHT on where I hold figures when whittling away at some of the plastic, so I had to let that heal. However, I got the specs for many other figures worked out, including the attack for Cannon Bolt, which uses the "Launcher" attack that someone on this board once suggested, where a thing on the base launches the figure.

Well, I'm VERY close to finishing Graymatter, so expect images within a couple days.
