Dark of the Moon: Leader Class Prowl

Ladies and gentleman, my first post married custom! Yep, even 30-somthing Transformer Nerds get hitched, man! I'm not sure if that actually effects my artwork, or if that means that this will be one of the last customs I make...hmmmm.

Anywho, his is Dark of the Moon: Prowl. I removed the old forearms and modded the joint that serves as the elbow so that the forearms from a TFTM Leader Class Brawl Could be attached. I removed the claws from the Brawl figure and added the hands from the DOTM Leader Class Sentinel figure. I attached them with the joints from HALO figures, so they have a nice range of movement. Another cool feature is that the wrist socket itself rotates inwards and outward at a about 15-20 degrees. I think the extra arm length REALLY helps with the look of the figure.

The head was a custom build that started off as TFTM Leader Class Megatron head, with some Cybertron Quickmix, Spawn, Gundam and Gurren Lagann parts in there. I painted his visor to look like the shades of a Highway Patrol officer's shades (like the one who pulled me over on the way back from Vegas...punk). I thought it gave it a cop vibe. The cannon was built from a bunch of parts. I know there is an Iron Man 2 3.75 cannon barrel in there from one of weapons it came with. The cool cords came via some older McFarland figures.

Amazing Work, I'm assuming the base is the Leader Class DOTM Bumblebee?

Yeppers, good ol' Leader Class Bumblebee. Its to be noted that the arms DO NOT have to be removed for transformation. Thanks for looking, guys!

That's pretty cool! Kinda makes me wish Hasbro would do something like this with the deluxe mold. Plan ahead and make a Datson Bros head and repaint Bumblebee into Prowl, Bluestreak, and Smokescreen. It would definitely help cut down on all the different Bumblebees swarming the shelves. Well, maybe.

Never ceases to amaze me how talented these customizers have. Very impressive. I'd bid on it but it's than what I can afford at the moment.

No, this isn't Prowl. He should be a red Decepticon helicopter in the Movieverse Image
