Hauler only appeared in the G1 cartoon once and he didn't even get to transform. Oh well, I least he got to rescue Hound from the ditch. Here I used the RTS Solar Storm Grappel figure and basically did a repaint. I did give him a working crane that came from Universe Blades (Who is now my Gobot Cop-Tur). Used Krylon flat black for the base coat, then dry brushed, silver, aluminum, and insignia yellow.

nice. plan on doing this myself. oh love the signature too.

 

Very cool

 

Very nice. I love the ehobby version, and this really captures the character with an updated figure.

 

Was that a green one?

 

Yup, but a different green than you used.

 

Yes because mine is yellow.

 

Is it? It looks a like a pale green on my monitor.

I guess I can see it as yellow now that you say so, maybe its the yellow over the black base coat that threw me off.

Nice either way. 

 

Nice! What shade of green/brand of paint is that? Looks nice, almost movie Ratchet-esque.

 

Testors Yellow

 

nice! Love the hint of green

 

I didn't use green

 

Was it the Model Masters Daytona yellow? Looks similiar in color........

 

damn... hauler at your boy, that looks sick!

(yeah weak pun, sorry, hahaha)

 

Looks Yellow to me, though I think some of the other posters were just
picking on you.

 

like the scene and the work.

 

omg! hey solrac the YELLOW looks nice love, lmao! The depth of shading you get from your drybrushing. I must admit I was a expecting the constructicon green of the e-hobby fig, was he yellow in the cartoon?

 

Yes.
