From the workbench of The Syndicate’s Tim 121RVC:
“Entry for a contest with the subject: Human Form Transformers. Basically, what would Transformers look like in human form? I watched the cartoon a lot as a kid. I remembered Soundwave as the one with that awesome voice (IMO the best cartoon voice in history).”
Make the jump below to find out how Soundwave was created, and to see more of Tim’s outstanding work!

From the desk of Bucky:
“I saw a great Outback custom at a dealer booth that set the wheels in motion. Not sure who’s it was, but it was a heavy duty roc torso, with dtc outback arms and head. I thought it was a great idea, and decided I wanted to try it, but get away from the Roc torso.”

From the desk of Viper6:
“Myself and Neuspeaq hit this con hard, arriving early 9 Aug for the preregistration and hotel check in. It was the first TF con I had attended and it was Jose’s first con of any sort.
The crown plaza was great and the pre registration packet was pretty cool, with a convention book, access badge, sharkticon pin, numerous pieces of artwork, a paper build-a-bot of sharkticon, a convention poster and a door prize ticket for the sunday auction, which we sadly did not win but some lucky fuckers took home a fortris maximus, a metroplex, an ironhide and ratchet set, and a limited edition “land shark” figure.
We hung out with some great con goers at the hotel’s birch bar (thoroughly rep’n OG13 and Mayhem Customs), invented a highly poularized con themed shot “the energon explosion” equal parts cranberry, chopin vodka, and hypnotic in a beer glass, drop in shot of redbull and viola!!!….its energon colored and tastes great too. then the fuckers ran out of hypnotic 
I think we were up til about 0430 or so, polished off two bottles of apothic red in an attempt to be sophisticated and headed outside to kick it with the creator of the con exclusive landshark figure, which i managed to score the next day despite the fact we overslept and didnt get in line in time to buy it then. I paid more for it after jose found a guy willing to let it go, but its well worth it, quite a nice lil figure (basically bulk head painted up as a sharkticon with new head and accessories).
Alot of the other stuff i wanted sold out fast, no t shirt, no glass, and a lot of the third party stuff at the dealer tables didnt last long either (guess im ordering my other stunticons on line). I did snag the third party jumpstarters, and this is where it gets cool, i got brian shearer and john wycough aka “waki” to autograph the charticon jumpstarters ambushed by sharkticon poster that they drew for the con. that was the start of a great conversation where in both checked out my custom work via my smart phone and waki asked if i could make him some 40k 1/18th figures. i suggested he illustrate some of my fan fics as compensation and he agreed! this could be the start of something fan-fucking-tastic.”

From the ridiculously talented keenan:
“Altogether the project took just under five months to complete. I wish I had kept track of the money and time I spent on him. Devastator stands at 5’6″ to the top of the crane (5’4” to the top of the head) and he weighs in at 59 pounds.
To give the custom realistic detail I added 1:18th accessories (ladders, compressor tanks, batteries, tool boxes, fire extinguishers, ect.). I also added a hydraulic system to the digger.
I used textured Decepticon stickers too.
Note on the hands: The wood artists hands rock, and allow for total articulation- like an actual human hand. I modded the gloves to fit them.
I chose a slightly more realistic paint job for my Devastator. I went with darker colors, because I felt they fit better in the Joe universe. I used different spray paint techniques to allow for shading. I also used textured paint to add “dirt” to various areas.”

Thanks to the fast eyes of Black Swan, we have discovered the Hasbro exclusives that will be sold at this year’s San Diego Comic Convention.
“An old-school G.I. Joe V.A.M.P. vehicle is retooled in the deco of Autobot cult fave Hound, originally an Army Jeep in the cartoon.”
“The set stars a G.I. Joe Skystriker with a paint job inspired by the Autobot, Jetfire.”

We have been granted permission to debut the image of one of my most anticipated action figures of 2013 – Catwoman from their 1966 Classic TV Series Batman™ action figure line!
This is the first-ever 6” scale Julie Newmar Catwoman, and the Design Team tells us it was a thrill to finally be able to capture this iconic rendition of the character in plastic!
