    Hypnotika NOW WITH METALLIC UPDATE

    BIG UPDATE! I went ahead and added the Metal to the original gray to spice it up and yall were very right. It Definitely Helped.
    Hello Everyone Here is Hypnotika. She is in the universe of the Short Timers. I hope you enjoy. When i saw the hubcap mold I knew I needed to make a fembot out of it.
    CANDC is more than welcome.
    NAME = HYPNOTIKA

    ALLEGIANCE = DECEPTICON

    FUNCTION = PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE.

    AFTER MEGATRON RECEIVED WORD FROM A SPY THAT SHOCKWAVE, NIGHTWAVE, AND SINNER WERE TRYING TO APPREHEND THE SHORT TIMERS, HE KNEW HE MUST TAKE ACTION. HE CALLED IN HIS SECRET WEAPON, HYPNOTIKA. SHE IS A TRULY RUTHLESS BOUNTY HUNTER WHO WAS TRAINED BY LOCKDOWN , DOUBLEDEALER AND MINDWIPE. SHE WAS SENT TO EARTH VIA THE TIME WAVE MACHINE AND ARRIVED IN THE EARLY 1930’S. FROM THEIR SHE PATIENTLY WAITED FOR MANY YEARS AS SHE KNEW THE SHORT TIMERS WOULD SURFACE. HER MISSION IS SIMPLE, LOCATE AND APPREHEND THE SCIENTISTS, KILL NIGHTWAVE AND STAXX, AND BRING ZEPHYR TO MEGATRON SO HE COULD OBTAIN THE SECRETS OF DARK ENERGON. HYPNOTIKA WAS CHOSEN SO SHE COULD GAIN THE TRUST OF HER PREY AND TRICK NIGHTWAVE INTO KILL STAXX AND THEN HIMSELF. NOW SHE WILL WAIT, AS LONG AS IT TAKES.

    WEAPONS= HYPNOTIKA HAS TO BLASTERS IN HER FOREARMS BUT RARELY USES THEM IN A FIGHT.

    STRENGTHS = HYPNOTIKA HAS THE ABILITY TO CREATE A MENTAL LINK WITH ALMOST ANY CYBERTRONIAN. SHE IS THEN ABLE TO DELUDE THEM WITH IMAGERY AND IDEAS OF HER OWN SO THAT SHE CAN CONTROL THEIR ACTIONS AND MOTIVES. SHE CAN MAKE THEM SEE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT THEIR AND FIND WHAT TRULY SCARES THEM TO MAKE THEM YIELD TO HER WISHES.

    WEAKNESSES = HYPNOTIKA CAN ONLY USE HER POWERS ON ONE BOT AT A TIME AND THIS CAN LEAVE HER VULNERABLE TO OTHERS IF THEY CATCH WISE TO WHAT SHE IS DOING. HER ARMOR IS NOT VERY STRONG HER FIGHTING SKILLS ARE LACKING THOUGH SHE THINKS OF HER SELF AS A VERY AGILE CHARACTER.. HYPNOTIKA IS ALSO VERY PRIDEFUL AND DOESN’T REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW MANY OF HER FELLOW DECEPTICONS WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER AS A HEAPING PILE OF MOLTEN SLAG.

    thats a pretty good scheme and paint job!
    but it doesnt quite pass as a fembot for me...
    maybe backfire would have been a better choice for a fembot repaint :)

    Thanks. The lighter color that looks red is actually pink but my camera sucks so I can see how it looks less femanine.

    So she's actually Pink and Purple? not Red and Purple?....either way:

    I think she looks great. Love the two toned paint job. And of course the story/bio.

    The only thing I can see is that the lack of paint on the upper arms, thighs, and crotch piece looks more "unfinished" than anything.

    I'm not saying they need to be completely painted, but maybe add some matching paint apps to some of the raised portions of those areas, and that would tie it all those parts together.

    Nice color scheme. It makes a good mold look even better.

    I think plowking has given a pretty fair critique here. I'd think that each of those areas could be primered and then have some silver added on top to give it a metal feel.

    I really like this one, as with all of yours bud :thumb

    My advice: Use a different mold. It's an epic custom, don't get me wrong, and i love the Hubcap mold, but that isn't exactly screaming 'Femme' to me. Just sayin'.

    However, aside from that, awesome work here Rumble02. I like the character bio as well, very sneaky. :)
