I have many parts leftover. So, why not do something with them?
For once, something that is not a tank? Something taht is not a plane?

An Autobot.
The madman strike again with a custom pulled out of his ass in less than an hour!

AUTOBOT JUNKION!

This is not a triple changer. This is not one of Blitzwing's familly.

It was just a matter of taking some trash and make some ball-joints pop-out and in, then figure out how to make this work. Only a little shaving of the kneecaps was needed. No unscrewing, no glue.

Sure, it's hard to tell the front from... the front. But who really care?




Hey, this vehicle work! it's, hum,... Cybertronian.
Yeah.

ALMIGHTY ROBOT MODE!!!

(The ball joints could use some super glue or nail polish.)




He have no weapons. His only goal is to run toward the 'cons, shouting and flailing his arms around to draw all the fire.
He is the perfect decoy. An obstinate decoy that regenerate!

The only true modding was to take an Exacto knife to shave off some kneecaps so the knees bend some the other way to allow the car to be level.

Appart that, yup, just part swaps. I'm amazed at how much parts ar compatible with each others. That junk lot of mine is like a big box of Lego!
That's why I may do a "junkion" series.
At least, this time, nothing new or unbroken was used.

Next step, painting. What color (appart shit) should I paint him?

Meh... this suck...
Forget this one. I came up with a much better design:

Scrawpsome the Junkion!

I came up with the prototype in less than an hour, but I was not satisfied.

Here's the perfect version:


It dont roll at all because there bits or arm underneath that dont clear enough, but it's no biggie.

This is not Cybertronian anymore. This time, it's really Earth based... if the protoform felled into a scrapyard, of course!

Only the green "smokestacks" need to be painted. Maybe a nice silver.

Here's the vehicle mode 2.0:

FLIGHT MODE!


Tons of Transformers pull a "flight mode" out of a ground vehicle by just popping out some wings.
So shut up.

This mode make me use some features of the legs that I would not use otherwise.
It's not too shabby for a bonus mode.


Robot mode next post.

GLORIOUS ROBOT MODE!

t's not perfect, but at least I can manage some cool poses. That optional heelspur help a lot.

Also, I used the Exacto knife a lot for this. I had to cut some uneeded bits off the legs and I had to adapt the douchebag head from it's previous swivel joint to a ball joint.

The paint will be minimal on this. All of these colors already work so well together.


Thanks! Nothing is more fun when you shuffle trhough a junk pile and find something tha work!

Once again, nothing new or unbroken was sacreficed this time. I guess only 3 bots donated parts.
> Movie classic Camaro Bumblebee
> Activator Bulkhead
> Random truck guy

That's it!
At last, My first deluxe AUTOBOT design. No tank, no jet, all awesome Junkion!








I'm very happy with him. For once, I love yellow!

Before I paint anything, Srawpsome is standing with his brothers.


So, watdday'all think?

Oddly, you're improving.

[BeastProwl]

I just wanted you to know, you killed Heavyload. That being said, the final result is awesome.

So, that's what he was called.
Never mind, he was already dead when I got him.

By the way, thanks! Still, he's not totally finished. Just a few touch-up needed. Stay tuned!

Forget about the flight mode, the sillyness of it distracts from the other two modes which work perfectly.

The "flight mode" is just a bonus mode. Like so many jetformers that can be "gerwalks" or something.

Only thing missing is just a few paint aps and decals to complet my custom.

I like the flight mode, but of course, I'm also a fan of the goofy 'vehicle' modes of the Transmetal TF's .

I think this is yet another sweet custom and I can't wait to see what you come up with next. You turn chunks of TF's into Lego's and come up with some astounding and imaginative designs more original than most of the customs I've seen. Very cool.

Thanks guys for your support! I'm glad you liked it.

Unfortunately, I messed up. Big time. I used once again Testor oil paints to just put some silver paint aps. Then, I wanted to give him a light brown wash for a "dirty" look. So, I used a tiny quantity of brown paint for a large quantity of paint thinner.

Good lord...

It was looking good, UNTIL THE WASH ATE TROUGH ALL THE PLASTIC. The irreversible chemical reaction made ALL the plastic of the toy brittle as if it was made out of gold plastic ripe with GPS. Le legs were the first to crumble, starting at every joints and pins. Finally, the bumblebee part followed. Even the head did not survive.

The only thing left are the activator-bulkhead's arms. The rest just crumbled to nothingness.................

I'm not willing to give up just yet. I still have one old Camaro Movie Bee in my collection, plus yet another spare one I planned to sell. So I took that nint toy and went to work.
That next custom might be more complicated. It may be less cool or fun than the previous one, but one thing is sure: It will look BADASS.

This time, the whole thing will be painted.
WITH TAMIYA WATER BASED PAINT.

Stay tuned.
