Galvatron, Cyclonus and Reimagined Scourge

Hello all

Firstly can i say thankyou for this awesome forum, the customs i have seen here have inspired me to try my hand at it. For now I am limited to repaints however my good lady has offered to buy me a dremel for xmas so i can try more complex customs.

I have now got 2 ongoing projects, firstly to create a custom set of TFTM figures, ave started with the 3 you see below. I will redo Unicron last probably but have my eyes set on Ultra Manus next, then Kup, Blurr, Arcee, gnaw and Springer. I like the classics Hot rod so maybe slight paint touch up only.

Second project is based on the awesome masterpiece Soundwave i saw on here, bought the oversized soundwave and have picked my donating figures for his updated cassettes.

Anyway enough about my future projects here are my current ones. A complete repaint of Universe Cyclonus, Energon Megs converted to Galvatron and finally my reimagining of Scourge the tracker.... I do have plans to do a proper Scourge at some point but really liked he thought of Galv having him as a beast on a leash.

 

Very nice work, is that the TRU voyager sized Galvatron?

 

Nice job on these, man. I really dig the Galvatron and Cyclonus, but I gotta say, that Scourge is a pretty unique take on the character. Kind of an odd choice, but it does work with the whole "tracker" thing. lol

Hope to see more from you and welcome aboard!

 

Actually base figure was the ever popular energon megs, it oozes galvatron in its purest form

 

Well there was no Voyager Galvatron in America, it was the TRU 2-pack Megatron with Optimus that you're thinking about. The was both Megatron and Galvatron in the leader size though. Also the Galvatron that was from that series that started as a Voyager was General Galvatron from the Japanese series, Superlink (Energon in America)

But yes I'd say it is the Voyager version most definitely

Either way back on topic, great start on your customs man. Sounds like you have plans to keep you busy for a while. Although I'm more of a fan of solid paint jobs, it seems that you got a decent grasp of the dry brushed look. Now get back to your camera and take about 10 or 20 more pics each of these guys and create separate threads so they can enjoy the adoration they deserve

 

very interesting take on Scourge, though I think a blue paint job would have done a slightly better job referencing the character.

 

Very cool set!

 

thankyou for all your comments i'm very much loving the board and feel very welcome!

yeah wish i had but didnt have blue n have done these whule being off work sick so not able to nip to shop to get blue, long term i've already got a proper scourge planned but as i was painting it i was watching TFTM and the line scourge the tracker jumped to my mind and it stuck
When make proper scourge he'll become some new character lol

i will do, i'll take more pics and split the thread tommorrow

 

When I first looked at this, I kept looking for a bipedal, robotic Scourge. And then I realized what you did there. AND I LOVE IT. It's definitely a different way to go for the character, but seriously, as a hunter/scavenger, now I can't think of a better figure to use.

The only thing I might have done would be to snip those spikes off, make him seriously sleek. Still, super wicked for a design, and the other figures seriously are win.

 

Very cool, I love the Galvy

 

i love the idea of trimming them and making it super sleek may just buy another for this very purpose!
