If there’s one thing I love more than Transformers, it’s amazing fan customs… of Transformers. This post will be short and sweet so let’s get moving.

8. TRANSFORMERS PRIME DECEPTICONS

First up, the most unlikely of customs, yes it’s Transformers Prime redone from CW toys. The aesthetics should not work at all, yet there they are and damn they look good.

7. MACHINE WARS AUTOBOTS

Next off the block it’s some Machine Wars Autobots by Cheetimus Primal. Some truly stand out bots here and a fun combined mode. You can find his full gallery over at Cheetimus Primal’s Website.

6. SKY MAX

I don’t know of a proper name for this this wicked combo of Sky Lynx, Hound and custom Warpath, so I’m calling him Sky Max. He’s got some Jetfire style backpack exhaust thingies too and looks sweet with highly detailed highlights and finish.

5. BEAST WARS MAGNABOSS

Beast Wars Magnaboss, talk about from out of left field. This wicked custom is from another regular TFW2005 forum dude. You can find his cool customs on Pinterest right here.

Check out that combined mode! That’s something special, just an awesome looking fan combiner.

4. RODIMUS AND ULTRA MAGNUS COMBINERS

I’d never seen these wicked Hot Rod and Ultra Magnus custom combiners until I created this article. So I have no idea who made them, if you do please feel free to leave a comment and let me know. They look fantastic I think you’ll agree.

3. JUNKION COMBINER

Another TFW2005 user created one of my all time favourite fan customs. Dude who goes by Autobot00 – created this cool team of combining Junkions. Never thought I’d ever see a Junkion combiner. I’m trying to pick up some Wreck-Gars to at least mimic this one myself.

It’s Silverbolt, or he used to be – and now he is a very cool Junk-biner?

Not content with just the combiner, Autobot 00 also has his minions for team junk. So damn cool!

2. STARSCREAM AND SEEKERS

Now we get to one of the earliest fan customs that appeared several years ago on social media and fan forum sites. It’s done the rounds, everybody has seen it – but that don’t make it any less spectacular. It’s a god damn CRIME against Robomanity that Hasbro never made this one themselves – such an obvious choice of redecos (seekers / rainmakers etc) and the head is not even modified, it’s just painted differently.

In this mock up, you can see how the crown and front chest parts for Starscream were already there on the Cyclonus toy. Making it look like it was probable that Starscream was meant to be a redeco of the Cyclonus toy. The crown can be explained as Galvatron’s head crest, but Galvatron’s chest never looked like a Seeker jet, COME ON!

1. HEADMASTERS RAIDEN

As great as the others are, they are mostly repaints and a new head here and there, or some minor bits. This Raiden set is like a whole retooling of existing CW toys. At first you have to wonder if this was scratch built, because how the hell did they pull this off? I don’t know if they sourced parts from other toys, or molded new parts themselves (or more likely 3D printed) but fuck me dead, just LOOK at this beastly bot!

Train modes look great, bot modes look great! Well detailed, the distinct color schemes and all.

….and then they turn into this mother! It’s god damn Raiden! Another design that hasbro/takara could easily steal back and do themselves if you ask me (and it might happen yet) We are down to the last few main combiners yet to be remade, so it could happen. But just pause and take it in, this is a a BEAUTIFUL combiner, a loving crafted project that must have taken forever to complete.
