The custom work you're doing is essentially taking a 'sculpture' figure and articulating it, adding weapons, and fixing it to a base. So, I guess you'd be..... "FixTixArticuSculptArming". <Fix-Tix-Art-Ick-Yu-Sculp-Tar-Ming> BTW, Spawn Rocks. What's with the IV? Is he cripping? It just sort of rolls off of the tongue, doesn't it? I gave him the numerical designation that was on the package in the thinking that I will be making at least 3 or 4 different "spawn" figs total...and that way they might all have different names. If not, I'll just change it back to plain old Spawn. However...Manga Spawn is sitting on my shelf and looking fairly serious as well...

Smokescreen 10 points - Specialist - Autobot - 4 Speed - Small Base This very nearly falls in the "too easy" category...so, I decided to reposition the legs to stand him up a bit more.... ...giving him a tad more height. A slight paint highlight to the gun... ...that's about it really. All the TF fans out there...REPRESENT! What the...where's the boilerplate... Let's see, arms, hands and head swivel. That about covers it.

Hehehe...well, it would appear that this figure is ready to drop a bomb on his opponent, not on his base. As always, excellent work.

I call it "the Dreamwave Crouch", because it seemed like the house style back in the Dreamwave days was to have characters always in some sort of crouching pose. And the control art for a lot of these things was done initially by Dreamwave people.
The movie-line 3" Titaniums are a LOT less susceptible to the Crouch.

The movie-line 3" Titaniums are a LOT less susceptible to the Crouch. Indeed they are not...look for them around new years (as I have it on good authority that I'll be getting them all for christmas). Also...I'm on vacation starting tomorrow for a week, but about a day after I get back we will visit Hogwart's most famous student...

Looking at Smokescreen's stance, his tailpipe exists near the center rear of his hood! What does he say before he transforms? Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-UH! LOL.
Great Job Mr. Punch. Impressive as always. Hope to see some of these at Tixcon if you can make it there!
One thing - TFT (1)...what is the TFT monicker on the back?

TFT stands for Transformers Titanium line, to separate it out from the regular TF line. I'll also be working on TFM (movie) shortly. I also have picked up what will be a couple of nice one-ofs here in Disney...we'll see how they all turn out shortly...

Oh yeah!!! Doesn't get any better than this!!! The Mighty Optimus Prime Proto form rocks!!! Like to see a striker like Scourge take his chops, how well do you think Optimus would stand up? Is the "titanium" heavy? Harder to knock down?
