hey guys im new here and this is my first time posting in the radicons area and i just want to say i love digibashing but never want to post so here it is my first post and it is sg bruticus maximus!!!

 

heh, I thought that shattered glass characters often took colours from their opposites (like Ravage being coloured like steeljaw for example In combiners case for example I'd expect to see Superion in Menasor's colours and vice versa.)

What's the inspiration for the colour scheme you've chosen?

 

well you know how dirge is yellow and no other cone heads are seen looks like he just got a paint job of different colors and thats what i went for something new

 

awsome bro this is pretty good for a first try

 

thank you

 

SG Dirge is based off of Bumblebee.

 

Actually, he's based off of BW2 Dirge, just in reversed colors. The Beast Wars one was mainly yellow, with black stripes.

 

hmm, interesting

 

i would love to see SG bruticus in defensor colors. but ya interesting take on him.

 

Hrm... Brut's colors make him look like 'Fruiticus,' but the recoloring itself was done rather well. Anyways, if memory serves me the (SG)Constructions are the original (G1) Protectobot colors. (SG) Scrapper has (G1) Hot Spot's blue and red. However (SG) Computron was colored as (G1) Abominus - a direct opposite. Then there's (SG) Breakdown, who looks like his original (G1) base and detail colors were swapped.

In all I think it's up to the writer to choose what the counterpart would look like. In the US G1 line we often saw Devastator as the arch-rival of the Combaticons, and yet (SG) Grimlock is painted as (G1) Trypticon. I think that's because (SG) Grimlock's personality is closer to (G1) Trypticon.

So if the colors dictate the persona, what's up with these Combaticons here? Are they pacifistic neat-freaks that spend more time in the paint care aisle than G1 Sunstreaker?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting a very Whirl-esque vibe from the copter-arm, and a mildly Springer-esque vibe from the copter-leg. And Barricade could be Hardhead.

It's all supposition, tho.
A really good job on the digi!  

 

Yea, never limit yourself to "opposite" coloring, Grimlock is the perfect example of them, so is Megatron, and Jazz, and the list goes on...

For me, when I wrote a background story for the SG Aerialbots, I went with the G1 Seekers Skywarp, Thundercracker, Dirge, Thrust and Ramjet for their coloring

 

dezarus i just now noticed that!!!! thats awesome i actually got sg bruticus prime on the way so...expect him soon!

 

hmm I'd be tempted to tweek this a little so that we had Hardhead, whirl, springer, warpath and quake.

 

But Blitz, wasn't Quake a Decepticon?  

 

oops wrong guy I was thinking about Hard Spark the autobot tank who had the spark gimmick

 

You mean Guzzle, the tank that hung out with Sizzle and Fizzle? Hard Spark was his Japanese recolor, right?
