Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen.
Claymore’s helmet came from Avacslab. I got it a couple years ago...I assume it’s still available.

Roadblock, Claymore and Desert CLAWS all look great!

Another quick and dirty custom. Nothing we haven’t seen a hundred times. I do want to point out a couple items of interest, though. I gave this figure a throwback Gray helmet. I just think it makes him look more like a WWII Naval gunner. Also, I tried to cobble together something that could be recognized as a missile launcher with the Exo Suit pieces.

You really need to quit it with all these awesome MGR customs.
It’s depressing seeing your works of art and wonder why Hasbro can’t make product this AWESOME. I like the grey M1 helmet, it’s perfect for Topside. Your backpack launcher turned out great.

Creative use of parts for his backpack, it just adds some oomph to an excellent looking figure.

The little extra touches (backpack/paint) on your Topside really make him pop!

That’s a great build for Topside! Love the decision to go with the WW2 helmet, gives him a cool look and then the gloss on the vest really makes it pop as a life vest.
The rocket launcher idea is brilliant! Love it as a backpack and with the stand to make it a launcher. Just an incredibly creative idea that I’ll probably borrow down the road because it’s just too cool. Claymore & Desert Claws both look perfect with your builds and paint jobs. Then love seeing a version of that Roadblock. Still need to make a Battle Corps mold Roadblock of my own, just never order the parts I want for him. As always, just really cool ideas, paint jobs and awesome 90’s/2000’s goodness whenever I pop in this thread.
