Hello again! Draoss here back with my second go at a thread. Since my 1st ever post(from earlier today) seems to be going well, I wanted to show more than just one of my older works this time. Both where started shortly after my CHUG custom Cliffjumper, Trailbreaker(cameo in my Cliffjumper thread and second ever (Started)custom) and Hoist(Still a WIP and third ever custom) in 2013. Both of these ones where inspired by other people. I want to give proper credit to the creators of customs if my own is a derivitive(if that is the correct word to use) of their's if it is possible for me to do so. Or at the very least to site where the inspiration came from. I also try to put my own spin on it(also if possible), as to be a little bit original unless to mod is very common. I just think it is the respectfull thing to do overall. First up, in 4th place, the namesake of this thread: WINDCHARGER! And we already have a problem to my self apposed rule because I CAN'T remember where or who I got the inspiration from(other than the internet) UGH! Was nice while it lasted, right? But I can't be TO hard on myself this time i guess. I made this 7 years ago afterall when I didn't have this rule and mine does have some differences to their's. The pictures are newly taken(another reason for this being a test thread). So here he is: The mold used was Deluxe Class Generations Bumblebee, again like the inpiration. The head is made by TFW2005's very own hondasaint14. Thank you to roaddemon2001 for reminding me in the comments. Sadly it is just sat on a loose pin. I'll need to fix that(7 years later......). I fully handpainted him using Testors Flat red, Citadel Abandon Black and Stormvermin grey. I finished him of with Classics scout class Windcharger and Wipeout Reprolables. The underslung stinger blaster now serve as amplifiers that help turn his inherent magnetic power into something more offensive if need be. More robot mode pics with friends: Kinda shocking how well CHUG molds work well as MP Scale minibots isn't it? Or is it just me? But not as shocking as when I realized how nearlly identical G.Bb's robot mode parts layout was to Xtransbot's Hatch(MP Tailgate). Either whoever was the inpiration for this take on Windcharger was psychic for their choice of molds or this was just inevitable considering Tailgate was originaly a retool of G1 Windcharger. But seriously, XTransbot's Hatch came out in 2017 or something? If so that's a 4 year gap so what are the creepy odd? ANYWAYS, vehicule mode: Sadly, as you can see from the last picture, the paintjob isn't 100% smooth. But i suppose when you first start out you will hit a fiew bumps. Still ultimately like how it came out. Next up is my 5th ever custom(done along side Windcharger). It was inspired by the awesome Jin Saotome's OC, Cop-Out. Im not able to post links yet but you can find his original at his website anglefire.com. Here is my take on Cop-Out: I used the same parts(except for the lightbar and gun) as Jin Saotome did. It's Energon Deluxe Dirtboss with 2007 Movie Blockade's head. I handpainted him with Citadell White, Citadel Abandon Black, Testors Flat Aluminum, Flat Red and Flat Blue. I just gave him a spare Classics prowl gun, which for my headcanon works as both a scoped SMG(while folded) and a precision semi-automatic rifle. And Reprolables for scaning and searching purposes(from above mentioned Windcharger set and T.R Blaster set) Group picture: Did I forget to mention that in my headcanon, Cop-out is Prowl's basicaly adopted brother? Because I think this is a nice family bonding picture( with some friends). And vehicule mode: Don't know if you can tell, but I will eventually need to touch up Cop-Out's paintjob. But all in due time. Oh yeah! His Autobot badges are the Cybertronien ones as he never bothers to scan an earth mode. One of these days I will probably make a discussion thread explaining that statement. So, not that many of my super old customs left to post about. Still got at least 3 or 4, some of which are not finished to this day. And I will post these in the upcoming days. These posts take longer to make than I thought! Still fun For now thought: "In the name of the Paxcybertronia and the Preda....WAIT! WRONG part of the timeline and aligiance! Nevermind";p
