Updates. Cut down the fuselage based on this Needlenose WIP by icanfly. Alt mode is a bit closer to the G1 version, with the dual fins. Added the distinctive shoulders (pen caps) and painted his gun purple. Combined mode was just blue, but then I decided on Demon General Overlord: I didn't want any of the gold or red to show in the other modes so I kept it limited (see post 24). If I make a dedicated team (Giga, Mega, white tank, black jet) I may expand on this. Let me know what you think. Thanks! Original Post for comparison. (7/13/15): Combiner Wars Overlord. Based on an idea I'm sure is not completely my own, but I thought it would look cool. I was going to paint his guns purple, but I loved how shiny they look. Maybe someday. Also I know his arms should be white, but I kinda like the darker gray. I may revisit this. This mold is really complex and somewhat tricky to paint. There are such tight tolerances for all the parts to move and fit together that even a coat of paint can throw it off. In addition, the Silverbolt chest part broke on a hinge and is seemingly irreparable. This is my second Silverbolt to break on a hinge, so this is probably my last time I'll touch this mold. If I can't repair it, I may salvage the head and combiner ports for a Fort Max I've been thinking about. Combined mode is still in progress, but I figure I can just re-use an unpainted Superion head, right? Thanks for taking a look, and let me know what you think.
god. if your customs were cookie sales in another universe, you'd own the empire. edit: overmegasixwave?
Very nice concept and superb paint job. Silverbolt's head needs more luscious lips to be an effective Overlord though.
man,that fits the mold so well. the paint works are so clean and crisp it looks factory released too!! a shame no tank mode but maybe you can have the limb bots combine to him,new versions of other phase sixers like black shadow?
If you can add a 5mm port to the Jet's nosecone, and make that piece detatchable, you can add even more to the homage. Also, whenever the CW Brawl molds come out... take a pair of CW Aerial Bots, and two Bralws to make drone limbs for a big combiner Overlord. That said... fantastic work!
There's a Brawl repaint in the future, correct? And, I guess any one of the numerous jets repainted as well?
I was afraid of that. I was talking to someone the other night about attempting a "plane parts swap" between Silverbolt and Cyclonus. Not really sure how possible it would be.
