EDIT April 2020: Reuploaded pics This baby got finished years ago, and i though i had a gallery done, but it seems its one of my most obscure customs... Oh well, i searched and found this thread so lets continue here Started with a Smokescreen (duh ), at the time i found a way to transform the legs differently, so i went that way, furthermore i discovered that you could shave some extra plastic from the rear fascia so the doors could fold into the wheel. This unfortunately brokes up the lines in car mode but can be barely noticeable with the proper care For the overall deco, i decided a simple black with Purple, i left the camera for detailing purpouses. Unfortunately at the time i was just experimenting with pin removals and soldering irons, the result? some minor warped plastic for the wheels, wich cant be fixed unless i get another Smokescreen and start all over The chest was custom molded with epoxy, going to that G1 look For the arms, i decided to reverse the transformation, so i had to cut the forearms to allow the elbow movement (it cant be done by just swaping em, sorry) The head was a modified Wheeljack as base, with a custom and removable cerebro shell for obvious reasons. The turret of the helmet was done with an Armada Overrun wings. Finally the gun, i simply added more pieces (cant remember where i got em sorry) to make it look more similar to the G1 figure btw, thats Kickback, based on a TFMaster idea, although its still a WIP (even though i havent touched him in over a year), i need to cast a better head, remove the faction symbols...
More car panels colored, and the new gun turret done All i need is a soldering iron to remove the wheels and door panels to paint these, print some decals and be done
Copado!!! Hey! Sorry if I ask you this already but: -Do you use parts of other Alternator for your bots?
man, you have GOT to get some good clear pics of this guy! he looks badassed in the blurry ones I wanna see!!! Andy
Depends, in this case i used a spare Wheeljack head and removed some details, and obviously added the face plate with epoxy as for the helmet (and the new gun turret) i used spare pieces from KO TFs, like oversized RM guns, a KO Armada Overrun, and even a weird KO Gobot from one of the KO micromaster´s gestalts
After submitting some gallery pics, Redline told me this baby was pretty unknown! so here it goes again
I have ALWAYS liked this custom of yours Nap....I have to say, its one of my all time favorites by you Good to see you, and him again
