Hey guys, me again with some new customs! Less than last time so I can maybe actually get some feedback haha.

First up is my take on Iron Man. This is Iron Man after he's escaped capture but still wandering the desert/jungle. I figured he'd look less Robert Downey Jr. and more...deadish. Being stuck underground in the dark for months will do that to a guy. I also went with a more grounded approach saying no flamethrowers, rocket boots, laser beams and instead went with some simple leather gloved hands with a stolen AK. The hair was slightly sculpte over and the beard was made longer. I did all the details on his face (Bags under eyes, stubble, smudged) wwith a fne point sharpie. I touched some of the damage on the armor but not too much.
Parts:
Head: Outback
Body: Comic Iron Man M. 1
Hands: PTE
Robe: TMNT Splinter

Next up is. Well I haven't really named him. I guess Bandit would work. I bought one of those Movie Master Joker Thugs for the body so I could put a Com. Gordon head on it and the clown head sat around so I decided to dremel it out and make it a mask haha. I had the Sabretooth and hated the arms but messed up the torso so I attached Lt. Stones upper body to it and kept his arms because of the size and length. I think I had to cut some of Stone lower torso away too.
Parts:
Head: Major Bludd DTC
Torso/Arms: Lt. Stone.
Legs: W:O Sabretooth
Bracelets: Tomax/Xamot

Next I got Zombie Food..er.....A fireman! Who happens to be zombie food. I figure if I ever make a dio for all my zombies I gotta have the guys who get eaten. So here's your every day fireman with an Uzi.
Parts:
Head: Endor Rebel Solder
Body/Hat: PTE
Hands: Zartan

Kroensputin. Or something. I saw Tanstoys Kroenen and loved it so I took the recipe and mixed it up a little.
Head: Golden Compass guy.
Torso/ Arms: Cobra Commander

Legs: City Strike SE
Lower Legs: Snake Eyes 25th
Feet: Beachhead 25th
Sword VvV Stormshadow
Sheath: City Strike SE

My Super-Spy. I bought an ROC Cobra Eel for parts. None of them fit the customs I needed them for so improvised. First I changed out the upper arms to give them a better length/ articulation. I moved the pistol holster to the other side to make room for the belt. I put on a different knife sheath that looked better. I gave him the belt and chest straps because the fins plug into the back hole. I love this guy because he has so much gear the is removeable that can be stored on him.
Head: 25th Breaker
Body: ROC Eel
Upper Arms: Rex RoC
Belt/Chest straps: City Strike SE
Mask: ST Night Creeper?
Goggles: GC Lord Asrael

Sam Fisher! A character I felt like I had to have because of the goggles. Turned out pretty nicely. I had to cut a good chunk of the arm off to fit the Rebel Troopers left hand but I like it.
Head: MU Punisher
Body: 25th Firefly
Hands: SW Endor Rebel Soldier
Holster: some SW guy
Boot sheathe: Minimates
Vest: PoC Pit Commando
Mask: Cobra Air Trooper, 25th Firefly, 25th Snake Eyes

Post subject:  Megatron. vs Optimus Prime

This is my 'verses Megatron. I'm still thinking of how it all fits together. The basic story I've fleshed out is Megatron (who I'd really like to rename, Any alternate names for Megatron that doesn't sound robotish?) created the suit of armor Prime wears and was horribly scarred and nearly killed as a result of something Optimus Prime (I'm thinking it's a guy wearing the "Optimus" suit. Like. Version Prime.) did. He vowed revenge. He now wears a new suit that is smaller and more powerful. His right arm was also destroyed in the accident so he replaced it with a large cannon. The suit keeps him alive. Ummm. I guess that's what i've come up with so far. Not great I know but I'm working on it.

This is actually not the original body I was building for him. My original plan was to bash parts of a Halo Brute figure onto a 5inch Black Spiderman movie figure with this head. My dremel broke so that idea went in the trash. Then as I was looking through my parts bin I saw this body and pieced the parts I managed to get dremeled before if broke. The barrel of the gun was a Sound Attack gun that I just cut the barrels off and cut a hole through the middle where I attached the wrist joint of a hand which I had cut off. That was then plugged into the Clone Wars animated movie IG-86 arm joint which plugged nto the actual figures wrist joint. The arms were then covered with the lower arms of the Halo Brute. The cannon is totally removable if I ever wanted to give him another hand. So that's cool.

Parts:
Head: RoC Rex, Megatron, CP Destro
Body: RoC Acc. Suit Ripcord
Lower arms: Roc Rex
Hand: W:O Wolverine
Shoulder Pads: ST Iron Grenadier
Cannon: Halo Brute, SA gun, SW IG-86, PTE cord.

Also I figure I'll repost Optimus so those who didn't see him can...see him.
Parts:
Head: Major Barrage
Body: Snake Eyes City Strike
Legs: 25th CC
Armor: Halo/ Random Optimus fodder
Chainsaw/ Axe hand: Sand Scorpion with playmobil axe and buzzer saw.

Too many to comment individually on (for me) but I do dig them all. And it's great to see how far your customizing skills have come.
