    Blunderbuss: "The Muscle" Autobot Custom

    Outside of meaning a certain type of gun, the definition of "Blunderbuss" is: an action or way of doing something regarded as lacking in subtlety and precision. Which sums him up pretty good. Turning into a lumbering dragon doesn't exactly scream, "quiet" and "subtlety". Joining the ranks of the Autobot D&D Enthusiasts like WarForge and Vanguard, Blunderbuss rounds out the team as the muscle. Be on the lookout for 2 more "Dragon-riders" to join the crew soon!

    Too funny, too funny... but seriously, I can NOT wait to see the rest of the team. Love what's been done so far. What are the wings from?

    They're from a Batgirl adventure figure I picked up for $3 at a toy show last week literally just for the wings. I added a custom 5mm peg to them.

    I'll take that under advisement. Although, wouldn't the combiner have 6 dragon heads not 5? 4 dragon bikes limbs + 2 headed dragon = six dragonheads. I mean a Hyrda has six heads but I'm not calling it Hyrda!

    Great work!!
    Would have liked to see a Scattershot as the Torso, and a Strafe as a limb. Could've taken inspiration from Twinferno, and made better versions.

    Scattershot isn't remotely dragon-like, and Strafe doesn't resemble a motorcycle so...?

    Looks awesome, dude :thumb 
    Can't wait to see the rest of the team and combiner formation.
    Are those wings from an Aliens figure? And the guns modified versions of TR Wolfwire's or from TR Chromedome? And I have to say I really like him in that purple lighting. I first thought it's his colorscheme but it would look too 'Con like for an Autobot.
    Just something about his name: it's actually already taken by Broadside's Titan Master :oops:

    Doesn't count! Well for once I'm okay with reusing a name, especially if I feel like it's fitting, moreso for this than a Headmaster (what a waste, save it for a targetmaster at least!). His wings are from a Batgirl Adventure figure and the guns and swords are all resin cast from Grimlock's Forge!

    Strafe could easily be converted into a Twinferno and recoloured. Scattershot in cannon mode, with dragon heads for the mouths of the cannons. But not taking anything away from your work...love it

    I'm setting these limbs all up as "Dragon-Riders" , each limb turns into a cycle with a dragon head. There's a D&D theme and each one wields forged weapons along with guns.

    Combiner mode with have a common theme ... IMG_20200216_174107.jpg

    Good job! Every time I try to create a custom, I always have to deal with paint problems. "And it started with my mother." ;)
