W.I.P. - Bruticus Minimus

Hey Guys, it's been a while.

For the past few days I've been on fall break, I've found myself working on this guy. In the same vein as the Mini Menasor I did a while back, it's a g1 gestalt redone with one legends figure and 4 mini-cons.

For Bruticus, I've wanted to improve on what I did with Menasor. I.E. much more articulation, better connections, and overall badassery. So far, I think I've accomplished it.

I'm mainly posting this because I want to know what you guys think about the proportions. The legs seem a tiny bit long to me, but I think they work out ok.


UPDATE 10/20/09:

Decided to beef up thighs using those from Armada Thundercracker. It also gets rid of some of the lego-ness from this bash as it's a bit heavy in that department.

I cut sections out of the chest shield to make it look more g1-y and added another piece to the crotch.

Started construction on its right arm. Have a ways to go still, but Blast Off fits on there just fine.

Note, the Twin Twist head is temporary, but I think I'm going to use it. I just need to put some styrene on the sides and give it a mouthplate. I'm just worried it will be a bit small.

Battle Beasts are the grizzled, battle-hardened antecedents to Pokemon, who shake their heads disapprovingly at the cutesy scions of today before pickling their disgust with a bottle of bourbon, sitting in the darkness and staring moistly into the middle-distance while faint echoes of dying comrades grace their ears as if in a waking nightmare.
