I felt there should be a new area where one can post custom transformers. And to kick it off I submit for your approval, my very first ever custom. To me, this was an obvious, must be done custom. Its not very hard to do, and it doesnt take alot of skill, and someone else already did something very similar. But this one, I think combines the best of 2 very intemidating figures. But anyway.... I present to you, supreme omega sentinel. I still have to make his label.... And I cant decide if he should cost more than 80. Logically it seems that he should, but 90? Maybe 100? 100 just sounds too crazy.

his cost depends on whether or not he can use his claw and shoot on the same turn. I have some custom ideas, but I can't do them yet because I haven't got the figures....
landmine repainted as landquake omnicon(with energy blast missile) repainted as signal flare

Oh yeah, He should be able to use both of his attacks per turn... At least in my opinion. Because a gunship can transport and fire in one turn, and any figure with multiple shots can shoot all of the missiles, even at different targets. So yeah, Im thinkin hes a one man army....

It's not a real custom, it's just a repaint of Omnicon. I also didn't change his cost or name.

you took my signal flare idea! can he use an energy blast missile like vector prime or hotshot? signal flare needs that kind of missile.

capnfalcon222, me taking your Signal flare idea is a way of showing how much I liked your idea, and besides I don't even own Omnicon i used Photoshop.

I'd probably say 90 on Supreme Omega Sentinel. Maybe 100, depending on how weight is distributed. Is he easier to knock down with the added weight (I mean without even bothering the knees)? Signal Flare needs to look just like that My main concern with Transformers customs is that I want all the possible repaints, but I don't want to do a bunch of them and then find out that Hasbro is putting out an official release. So I am going to try to go for the less-likely. Right now I'd like to do a Ransack to Botcon Rattrap or a Crumplezone to Botcon Optimus Primal. But the only extra I have right now is Vector Prime. After I get a full set of S1 (and know what I need to trade), maybe he'll end up in gold like the upcoming release.

theoretically malform's supreme omega sentinel should be harder to knock down, because the omegas' biggest weakness was that they had more weight on one arm than the other, making one-hit knockdowns easier than they should be. since S.O.S is more balanced, he'll probably be harder to knock down.

It seems to me that out side of repaints we can't customize tf's much like we could SWs, granted their are enough repaints in the tf world to keep us busy for sometime I just wonder if we can't do any other customizing.

Well, it depends on whether you want to keep things usable in a game. Most physical mods (aside from limb swaps like Supreme Sentinel up top) are going to be too fragile for play.
There's some mods you could do just to make the figures more toy-accurate, like adding the side panels to Omnicon's blaster. I suppose one could also add accessories, like a cloak and crown to Starscream, or a sword to Vector Prime.
BTW, mods might want to pin this thread if it's meant to hold all customizing...it was a month dead until this morning, and back at the bottom of the third page of posts (I'd only looked back to the second page before creating a new thread for the Omnicons).

Sounds like a good idea to me.
