Sterling work.

Where's the head from?

The head was cast by Sculpt-Bot, the ever-busy head caster over at a different board. It was originally a Supreme Starscream head, and solid resin (not the drug heh)
I had to hand carve out the eyes, I carved them slightly larger than they originally were to give it a more Autobot/friendlier appearance.... then the entire head using a dremel. I then filled the back of the eye holes with very hot glue (the hotter the hot glue, the less bubbles, so I leave the gun on for 20+ minutes to avoid bubbles)
Then, inserted the LEDs inside the head from the back, then the batteries, then the switch. Finished it off with some details to make it look more like Defensor.

That and Blades as an arm could double as an arm cannon since he is bigger, I liked that the most about the BW line when it came to arm cannons. Anyways, just superb and awesome tips too Frenzy. Keep these beauties comin!

You pick the eye color! Bonus item #1

I think white, blue and orange work well. the other colors seem more like 'con eye colors. but awesome regardless

If it were me, i'd pick white. The others just don't seem to work, though blue looks ok.

Cartoon was blue, toy was red. I like white also.

Chest plate and Peace maker look cool. Is the peace maker one of CYB Prime's cannons? So that's what happened to the parts left over from Motormaster...

White or blue. The red would contrast well against the body-blue...except it feels too bad-guyish.

I think Hot Spot is my favorite of the group, but groove is a close second.

Is the Blades Display stand a Gundam Action Base?

two questions: Where did you got the hands from??? Primus???

And how did you manage to stabilize primes' feet so well??? I have that guy and his panels are not very stable and can't move from side to side.

EDIT: His weapons are to subtile for me.

EDIT 2: His weapons are not too subtile for me anymore.
