From Viagra Prime:
Inspired by Redline's digibash, here's a Cybertron Omega Supreme (with Miinicon Omega Spreem). I thought having to detach the head from the tank/Minicon was kinda cheesy so I remodded it to attach the head permanently to the tank. By doing so, I needed a place to put the tank without it showing because if I used the whole tank as a head for Omega Supreme then his head would be too huge. So this is the reason for the chest cavity. This cavity was in the original toy and was there to store the Minicon, so I decided to use it for that purpose (storing the Minicon, but with the turret/head still sticking out, of course). Omega Supreme is now a headmaster in a way.
It's mainly a repaint of Cybertron Menasor. The only part I needed to add was the head. The Minicon is the tank that has two barrels that can pulsate when you roll him. I basically took the turret off the tank body (which leaves a hole used to attach the head/new turret). I cut off one of the barrels from the Minicon turret and used it for the new turret. The rest of the new turret is scratchbuilt using styrene and putty. I added a peg on the bottom of the new turret/head and used it to attach it to the Minicon tank and to big Omega's body (when removed, the Cybertron Menasor head there is a hole there. I created a neck joint and placed it in the hole and the new head's peg fits into this nech joint).
Paint used:
Krylon Fusion Cherry red
Krylon Fusion Yellow
Testors Brilliant Orange
Rust Oleum Sand (for the "wings". Not really the best paint brand but only one I can find that matches G1 OS's tracks color)
Testors dark gray with Krylon Fusion Nickel Shimmer overspray
(to give it a more metallic look).
