Decepticon X Right leg is from Ironhide Left leg and torso is Brawl Left and right arm is from Soundwave Head is from Soundwave This is a very first attempt at putting together pieces of different Transformers. He doesn't transform of course.
It's pieces of other Transformers that were broken that I put together on Brawl. Ironhide and Soundwave. I had no other uses for the broken pieces so I decided to create my own Transformer and give him a Authentic name never before used , Brawhide. This was not easy to do because certain pieces didn't have that ball joint snap in so I had to make a slight adjustment in the arms and screw them in. He is fully poseable but does not transform. RESPECT IT !
To me it is a custom , it may not look clean and have the best idea but I did what I did with the parts I had. I'll keep doing it as long as there are parts to be bought and maybe , just maybe I'll get that one golden ticket where someone will say good job.
Hold on...Yes this IS a custom. It is in fact a piece that was scratch built / heavily modified. Just because it isnt an Encline custom, no disrespect...I love Encline, but just because its not some amazing sweeping thing thats gonna cost 1,000 dollars on EBAY doesnt mean its not a custom. This was maybe an experiment to see what he could do with pure trash pieces. A few years ago I did the same thing. Go look at my Autobot X custom. Everything was pieces of trash and it was a nice piece in the end. Agreed this is no Jin Satome type work but last time I checked GI Joe and Marvel characters werent exactly Transformers but no one said anything about them.
Thank you Carpool , The parts I used actually came in a zip lock bag of parts and a Jazz transformer. I took the 3 remaining parts of Soundwave , Ironhide and Brawl and made this. Still have some pieces left over so I'll be on to my next project.
I'm glad you enjoy YOUR custom. Good job. You like it bro. That's all that matters. Sure it may not be Encline, Grinkrystal, Andy Hibbs, or Jin Siatome, (Other customizers in case you didn't know) but it is still a custom and it's good that you enjoy it. Keep customizing.
Actually....wasnt there some sort of mad doctor type that was helping Megatron enslave the human race with mind control of some sort? This very well could be a type of Decepticon X constructed with that guys essence in mind. "Constructicons....create me a BODY!!!" "OK BOSS....um...here. Its from all the garba...spare parts that we foun...er scavenged from the remains of the weakest...um strongest warriors possible!"
well i think for someone who is obviously totally new to post anything is pretty brave in the first place. To be sure this isn't the greatest but everyone's gotta start somewhere right? Now you have a better feel for how things work and fit together then its onwards and upwards and on to maybe practicing with repaints or something. Welcome to radicons!
Welcome. This is exactly how I got my start on customs was with franken bots, I do suggest that you go ahead and paint the figure with a pallet that pulls all the pieces together. Also when making a bot from junk, go ahead attempt to work an alt mode in there. It doesnt have to look seemless either. but onces painted and turned to alt mode you might step back and go, WOW that turned out better than I coulda dreamed it. Just keep on working hard and figuring out how to make pieces come together. I like what you have going here. Here is an example of a frankenbot that comes together only because of the colors. He was nothing but trash but I still went ahead and am glad I did. http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-images/radicons-customs/Cybertron/Hodgepodge/
Well I like it! Looks like a Combiner of some kind... It could even be a kind of Action Master! Very cool stuff!
