Description After a few months I can finally reveal a project I worked on for a charity to help out the Autism Society of America.
T-Cracker was made from a Macross jet fighter and was given Classics canons and a G1 head. He was given the G1 paint scheme and since his special power was to make sonic booms I gave him those as well!

If ya get a chance please use the links in my journel to see all the othr contributors amazing work.

Sweet. Being my step-nephew is afflicted with high-functioning autsim (and considering how eerily he acts like I did at that age, myself as well), I applaud the effort!

Keep it up!

Wish I coulda purchased this for the charity. Not only would I be helping out, but I'd have this sweet custom figure as well. A win-win right there!

It all depends on the day really some days hes pretty good and other days completely terrible. He also suffers from epileptic seizures. The good news is that graduated his school this year!

Wow, that's awesome!

Considering how well Macross and Transformers blend together, this seemed to be a sure-fire hit.

No problem. You've got quite the knack with custom Transformers, Hasbro should hire you.
