NICE!!!

Best Mainframe custom I've ever seen. I really prefer the "classic" look too.

Great stuff!

Yes, that Borg DD suit sucked it big time.

That is awesome! Excellent job on the paint apps. Excellent choice on the BBI laptop. What's the helmet from?

The helmet is from the Naboo Trooper that looked like a janitor. That laptop is actually Mindbender's, the BBI one I had was deformed and looked like I'd run it over with my Jeep.

The head is a BBI soldier, the Marine insignia was painted on, but the patch on his sleeve was sculpted.

Very nice, crisp paintjob. The accessories choice is excellent too. I hope Hasbro's been looking at the boards for ideas on 25A customs.

Cool custom! Have never cared for Mainframe until I saw your custom! Would only suggest the PTE laptop (I like the colored keys & screen and compact size) and a different weapon ("surprise")...how about a Modular M4 (with silencer, day scope, laser grip), G36c "commando" Assault Rifle, UMP or P90. Also, don't forget about a cell phone (for the "wi-fi" access!).

Again, very cool custom!

AWESOME work on this one. Smooth sculpting and paint.

But yeah I'd grab him a different gun, that on's a little big for my taste.

Damn good figure!

That Devil's Due "Borg" costume, as you put it, was atrocious. The grey fatigues are perfect for the figure.

What was the base figure(s)?

The base figure is Duke with a BBI head and Snake-eyes legs. The laptop will get replaced once I find a better one. I went with the MP5 for the more compact size over the M4 or G36. I was thinking about one of the Marauder submachine guns, the one I gave top Copperhead, but it was bigger than the MP5.

That is totally rockin'. the sleeve work is awesome again. The gloves are sweet too. I bet the Maurader Inc. MAC-10 would look cool and is really small. You could also mod that sheath to make a pistol holster. It's a cool little mod.
