Motormaster...Prolly Comic Style Paint Job

SonOfNemesis · 07-24-2012, 07:18 PM

UPDATE: Re-tooled his shoulders a bit, added forearm plates, fine-tuned many edges and surfaces, and added shin plates as well. Smoke stacks have been made just not attached yet...

UPDATE: Add more beef to his shoulder pads/boxes, gave him a back with trailer surfacing, added a center piece to his front waist/bumper, added shins, and fine tuned and shortened his feet.
Now he only needs some smoke stacks and a paint job

UPDATE: Modded his front waist bumper a bit and added a center piece to it. I'll shave and mold the top and bottom to form the angles of the bumper as well once done.
Also gave him built shoulder box housings - still retains articulation but needs some fine-tuning.
Modded and adhered his feet finally.
Gave him a sword and he has a gun (not pictured).

Still have to do new shins, add some more pieces to his shoulder boxes, and finish up his back with a rear cowl kinda thing...

Didn't know what to do with a DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime so I figured I'd take a shot at a 'kind of' Motormaster that I'll paint up for a comic like style...still got lots of refining work to do, I want to put those pieces in front of his feet 'as his new feet', and make him a nice chrome sword. Also got to beef up his shoulders and add lower leg mods too.

ALREADY DONE [B]I already swapped out his forearms, hands, lower abdominal area, thighs, head - on a balljoint, whipped up a helmet (still in progress), and will be doing a bunch more.

He'll most likely get light up eyes

UPDATE:

Finished his helmet box, added shoulder pads (actually hinged into place

), also did up the feet - still might push them back a little, and also added new shin covers.

I like the gut hanging out - very "trucker"

Sweet!!!

I really like everything you've done here so far

I think I'd suggest using a different head, though. Even an Alt Silverstreak looks a bit more "mean". Regardless, I'll be interested to see what you come up with

What Alternator are those arms from?

Heat Guy · 07-25-2012, 05:13 PM

Looking good, made me think of this.

general saberwi · 07-25-2012, 05:17 PM

So, does it transform? Even if it does not, it's still pretty cool.

No unfortunately not, but it'll be one hell of an action master I promise!
