This guy, oh this guy has been a bit of a pain to make I must admit, he's been off and on for a while now whilst I decided on how to get him and Jallguar to combine into a coherent torso but I couldn't resist not seeing how he could fit together.

His base is CW Cyclonus, with RID minicon lion head bashed onto cyclonus' face. the body also has parts from a KO of the Brave jet from the three part combiner from Exkaiser and though he doesn't have it in the picture, his nosecone is Cyclonus' but with an energon combiner port underneath, this means his head is no longer in view in jet mode.

He is the first project I have used an airbrush on and I am so pleased with the result. The colour is a custom mix. No combiner mode picture yet as I don't have a head and he's not yet finished lining or sealed yet due to ongoing work getting him functional for when Swind... Jallguar arrives.

It's worth noting that two Brawls shall be arriving also, one for Killbison and another for a hopefully better functioning Drillhorn.

 

Sweet

 

Looks great!  

 

aaaah i love it

 

That's awesome! Can we get more pics of what you've done with him?

 

I'll get some taken tomorrow. currently working on the jet nose so he's still very much WIP, I have swapped the arms out for the Universe 2 version though meaning the fists fold away and they are no longer combiner ports

 

That is a thing of beauty it there! Excellent work!

 

Man, my Silverbolt-into-Leozack digibash ain't got nothing on this!

Have you considered Rook for Drillhorn instead of Brawl? The port on the front of his vehicle mode makes a good place to mount said drill, and make him visually distinct from Killbison...

 

looks great as well as the others

 

This looks great!

 

Wait, then how do he combine without the leg ports? This ain't gonna be a kibblener, is it?

 

I\'ve seen drill tanks made from rook, an they just don't do it for me unfortunately, what I have got planned will make him visually distinct though. No worries about that  

It depends, Do you consider Jallguar kibble   I'm going full fledged 6 bot combiner with these, well 7 with Deathcobra.

In one of the pictures below Rook is standing in for the swindle I am waiting on to make Jallguar

 

Well now I'm more confused. What is Rook doing by being there? Where are the thighs? How is Rook even staying on? I'm sorry, but this is all coming together in my head as being really ugly around the hips. I hope to be wrong when it's done.

 

I'm not using Rook, I'm going to be using a Swindle (who is a retool of Rook) to make Jallguar, he's going to inherit Cyclonus' arms which will form the thighs for the combined form and the missile pods in car mode as well as the robot mode arms. the combination will be secured by an energon combiner peg mounted onto where the CW peg is which will marry up with the port under Leozack's nosecone.

It's all planned out, just no point altering a toy I ultimately won't be using. Hope that doesn't come across as standoffish   There will be kibble, but that was always going to be the case.

 

If it's not too much trouble, could you pose your Rook to look like that planned butt mode?

 

This looks so good, you plan on putting him on ebay after?

 

Will do, sort of on theoretical at this point, not sure if what I described wi actually work or wether I'll have to fin another way to get him to combine with Leozack, I had started work with a Dragstrip but decided to wait for Swindle instead. It's all a bit trial and error at this point

Only if I'm skint   Seriously though I would probably sell the whole combiner rather than individual members, especially in the case of Leozack and Jallguar as the need each other to form a full centre for the combiner.

 

I like this so much that I might want to try my hand at my own, if I do mind giving me some help with mine? Pointers and such.

 

Sure, no problem, glad to have inspired

 

I've gotta say this has me tempted to go an extra mile with my project. I'd been pondering doing something simular with the wings (though I don't trust my ability to fabricate new parts like that). I never considered adding an extra bot in order to solve the chicken waist problem, but that's something I'm definitely considering now. Though, for me, I don't have an easy sixth bot to add to the mix. XP

Still, you've gone some beautiful (and inspiring) work on your hands. Keeping my eye on this project. ^^
