Yeah, its a strange one to do, but dang it - I loved my Thundermachine as a kid. Just picked up a loose TM and needed a driver so here you go.
Parts used (Bless those clearanced 5 packs) Snake Eyes - Upper Torso Duke - Head Gung Ho - Arms, MidBody, Upper Legs Destro - Lower Legs Lower undershirt, armor, and hair were done in super sculpy. It's been about 5 years since I did any sculpting. After looking at this more and more I think I need some more practice. He's not toooo bad, but I think I'll be reworking this one eventually. I just need to get myself a wax-pen. I think Hasbro could do one of these with only two new molds (armor and head). The Upper Shoulder armor could be molded into the armor piece. The undershirt could just be painted on the upper body of GungHo with the tatters painted on the midsection body. Put him with a redecoed Thunder Machine and I'd buy one -Gary |

Great work! Looks awesome. I think you put the upper arms on backwards though as the triceps should be facing the rear
