Madness took me today and I picked up some Autobots that have been lying around for ages. After their less than successful unavailing at a wargames day, I was a little put off creating any more.
However it's a topic I hold dear and so I'm sure they will appear again. Just the joy of crafting characters from bits and bobs is enough to ensure I'll do more in the future.
I used a bit from my hearing aid supplies to finish off his back and close some of the many gaps left in the toy. Any little gizmo or grebbly is always worth keeping and storing safe, the day will come when you'll be glad you kept it.
This character is one of the coolest I've painted so far, he carries strong manga vibes.
I now need to give him a name that sums up his sleek look. I'm quite proud of his pistol which was created from plasticard. He is an actual mini toy rather than a keyring. I kept the nice Autobot symbol on his head and this helped to determine his overall colour scheme.
I quite like the fact he has energy vents on his legs, it adds a little more contrast to the black body work.
I think due to the vents on the back of his legs for speed and his red, molten colour scheme, I think Quick fire would be a good name for him. He also has a pistol which gives of law enforcement vibes. I'll have to find a good vehicle mode for him now that suits his new character.
Wide load gets his alt mode. I kit bashed this vehicle together from tank tracks, a gun and a broken Micro machine vehicle. It has the same huge wheels that I modelled the robot with.
