So since I am in kit bashing limbo currently because we are trying to sell our house I thought I would share my digibash's that I am planning on actually doing.
Since Hasbro is putting out some fembots, I thought I would add a couple to the ranks. I thought it would be funny and cool that when Firestar came to earth she heard about the Marvel character Firestar so she decided to customize herself with Firestar. Still need an idea for a head. UPDATE 11-7-14: I got a great idea from Lego about using Strongarm's head from the new RID whenever that comes out. I photoshopped it and put on. What do y'all think? I have been trying to figure out what to do for a custom Elita-1, then I saw that Jin-Saotome used the TF3 Sideswipe to make a custom Arcee and I thought I could use that for my Elita-1 since Hasbro is giving us an Arcee. So I took his photo and modified it till I came across a look I liked. I will need a different head and I won't have the nice chest piece like the one on the ground in front of his, don't want it to be duplicate of his. Inspired yes, duplicate not so much. So here is my thoughts on an Elita-1 in all her top down glory. LOL Update 11-6-14: I did some more photoshopping on Elita. Update 11-7-14: trying Strongarm's head from the new RID line. What do y'all think?
So after seeing all the great ghostbuster transformers I decided to do one also to add to my Junkion ranks. My idea is there is a sub-group of Junkions that love taking their alt modes from movies & TV. Here is my take on a Junkion modeled after Ghostbusters.
Can't remember if I have shared these or not. My idea for G2 dinobots. Have them as total new characters instead of the original five just repainted. Sorry on the T-rex I couldn't get the yellow as bright as I wanted.
Advanced Recon Commando Seekers (ARCS) are as the name states advanced fighter jets for the Decepticons. So I decided to use the FOC seeker mold for this group which makes them standout different from my other seekers. They are Black Death (stealth), Hotlink (diversion), Bitstream (data mining), & Redwing (commander).
REALLY digging the Kup mold for Firestar. As for a head, BotCon Flare-Up is based on Firestar's animation model head.
Thanks every for great comments. Lego I have Flare-up but I'd hate to take off her head but that's a pretty good suggestion.
Introducing Slipstream's femcons; appearing in a sky near you. So you better take cover!!! I am getting both Prime Starscream and Dark Energon Starscream to make female seekers for Slipstream. His body is so perfect to make femcons from. LOL!!! I have used Prime Arcee's head as place holders for now although I really like that head on the silver Starscream. I need an accent color for her also, any suggestions? I may photoshop air arachnid's head on DE Starscream to see how that looks. UPDATE 11-7-14: I put Air Arachnid's head on and it looks wicked! I also added a nice blood red accent to the other one.
Oh, I didn't catch that you were attempting to make a physical custom. In that case, maybe RiD Strongarm whenever she comes out.
Autovolt, I know what you mean. I did this at lunch today to see if I could come up with something that might work. The 1st image is my concept, the 2nd is the actually movie character, and the 3rd is ROTF Swerve for reference. What's y'all's thoughts?
