Not gonna happen. The headbots are Dianaut-sized, if your pics don't lie. However, you can put the headbot in head mode onto an MB neckball once the headbot's head is taken out.

It's the only way to keep them 18th scale, lol. |

Head-bots are just a bit taller than the Dianauts, but yeah, basically the same size/scale. In TF-vehicle mode, they are actually closer to in-scale with Legends class cars. In bot-mode, though, they look fantastic with Deluxe and Voyager bots. If you've posted any Battle Beasts customs, I either forgot it or missed them, because that's a great way to sort of get TFs into the 1:18 world, in a roundabout way. |

All but the last one is mine, and they're all on the older bodies; but I believe they fit the 'Battle Beasts' theme: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=34980 |

Still need to take a look at some of those $4.99 Titans Return bots for fodder. Not the headbots, but the little vehicles they come with. The proportions are so wonky anyway, I might be able to fudge it if I find something I like. I've got another original villain I want to build, and I need to go fodder-hunting... hmm... Speaking of villains, inspiration struck, cheap fodder was purchased late at night, and now there's a great disturbance in The Force... |

That Groot is inspired for sure. |

With GotG2 coming out soon, my guess is Hasbro will re-release the 5 POA minis, probably with updated "Fractal Tech Gear," hahaha. I was honestly surprised at how easily the MegaBloks parts bashed with the Groot figure; there was A LOT LESS trial & error and test fitting, as was the case with tiny Hulk last year. It relies much more on sculpting, (which I've been trying to get better at), probably the most I've done on a custom, maybe ever. Getting ready to post new shtuff, just need to do some photography this weekend... |

Nice work, saw a bunch of the small groot and Co at 5 below yesterday. Should have picked some up. At the very least Gamora since female heads at that size are hard to come by |

Thank you, Cobra Command! Yeah, there're still some packs around locally, but I'm waiting for them to really get clearanced out. No way I'm paying full-price when new product will be available soon. No idea if Hasbro's planning to continue their 2.5" figures after Civil War, but I hope so. They have their issues, but that's why I bash 'em onto MegaBloks NEXT: THERE'S BEEN A GREAT DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE... |

You are doing such amazingly detailed work at such a tiny scale. It's quite impressive. |
