Took delivery yesterday of the first "rare" figure I've ever really felt compelled to track down, GDO Brawl. I love the HFTD Breacher mould, but I much prefer the military green of this version. He makes a shit Brawl though! I present: Breacher v2. I've stripped the paint off the head back to green and removed all the gold paint. I painted the face oily steel and the eyes emerald green so it looks more like Breacher. I've added a couple of small details here and there in the same oily steel as the face, and swapped the Decepticon symbols for some Autobot brands. FYI the alt. mode is a South African Ratel amphibious Infantry Fighting Vehicle, which is not only badass, but named after one of my favourite animals, the Ratel AKA the honey badger. I imagine this guy would speak with a South African accent and be tough as nails.
Breacher is the singular movie-verse bot in my collection, because he's that awesome. I had no idea the reused him as Brawl in the GDO line, that looks so cool. Nice work on cleaning up the head. He looks great.
Glad I'm not the only guy who uses this figure as an Autobot. Mine's renamed Slugger after the GI Joe vehicle, as I have him partnered with a TF2010 Deep Dive (Who was using the GI Joe W.H.A.L.E. reprolabels).
Subtle but very well done. If i didnt know that was GDO brawl it would be very convincing as an official green version of Breacher.
Update on this, I received a pair of 'assault rifles' from the HA Backfire from a friend of mine, which suit this figure so much better IMO. Commando Breacher is complete!
