Omega Supreme WIP

solarstorm · 06-24-2012, 12:09 AM

After admiring Scottstream and Uuser's beautiful Omega Supreme's made from altering the Energon figure, I began to work on my own.

This is my first major build. My previous customs were less kitbashing and more painting.

I created a base mode somewhat along the lines of other well-known Omega customs. Since I'm using the G1 rocket, the blue/ship side of Omega had to be worked in as a landing pad/gunnery defense.

Omega's backpack is the tank for base mode and the connection for the wing-like structures in robot mode. The head is on a balljoint and pops onto the tank to serve as the classic turret.

Some pics are with the rocket support from Countdown. I want to use it for base mode, but there's no use for it in robot mode. I have pics of the base with and without it. It can transform into a platform, but it's pointless when everything else becomes the robot.

I'm almost done with the physical stuff and will be painting it a few days after my trip (we're leaving for 5 days later this morning). I still need to fix the satellite in tighter for base mode and find something to fill the gap on the construction shoulder, as the junker I used did not have the cockpit.

Great start bro, the proportions are perfect. I'm about to start a project like this as well. Currently waiting for the parts.

Lookin very good. Robot mode has best of both worlds, asthetic and articulation.

Looks pretty awesome so far!

Very nice start on this figure!

I've done a version of Omega myself and I know it can be a challenge and fun all at the same time.

Looks good man. I never really liked the unicron parts on his back like that though -it always make me think he looks like a giant beetle bug or something. The asymetry doesn't really give it a G1 feel, but puts it in a unique category all its own closer to the original Energon build though. Neat little tank guy also, though I don't care for the cut barrel tip like that.

looks pretty good in robot mode for a g1/energon mixup, but as far as the alt mode. something just doesnt look right, it seems very spread out and doesnt really come together, i think getting rid of some of the loose parts and tightening up the tank mode would make it that much better.
