The Transformer's Action Masters toy-line arrived at the tail end of the original Transformers run from the 80s. I suspect they were more well known in Europe than in the States as the series ran a year longer in that market. It's fairly easy to come across an incomplete Starscream Turbo Jet. I liked the design. It reminded me of the Micronauts Photon Sled. I wanted the modifications to be simple.

The whole story here.

That Star-Photon-Sled thing looks like it was made for that figure. Fun stuff, thanks for sharing these.

My favorite builds are your Ampzilla and Biotron. They look very attention getting for a display.

Thanks for the kind words John. FYI I'm gonna be at the East Coast Chogokin Summit in Watertown MA next Sat. Selling/Swapping some loose toys. If you are in the area drop by. Also I will have a table at Mechacon in New Orleans in Sept.

My newest foray, mixing indie toys with vintage Micronauts, first up is Ni-Stuff's groovy Gylos head sculpts. I picked up these jewel-like Glyos compatible heads from Ni-Stuff at Comicon NY. I knew they had great modding potential.

Nice Fred. They're reminiscent of the original Micronaut alien figures.

Whoa...those heads are really cool...and combined with the bodies...those colors...pure love!

My next hacking adventure into indie toy land leads me to Monsterpants Sea-Borgs!

This is number three in a line of toyhacks I've been working on that mix indie toys with vintage grooviness.
