FoC Huffer
Posted: Wed May 01, 2013 5:13 pm
So here is my take on Fall of Cybertron Huffer. I always liked Huffer and wanted to try to do a Cybertronian version of him with this mold. The most important elements of Huffer I wanted to capture were the all silver arms with cylindrical sections that give the feel of smokestacks and of course his bot mode hood. I ended up deciding to go the partsformer route and use magnets to attach his hood in bot mode and in alt mode it turns into an armored weapons platform. I sort of figured Huffer for the support type in a skirmish so I figured giving him an anti-Seeker turret works and added magnets to mount it. Apart from the base FoC Optimus used I also used a modded Generations Black Shadow head, piece from a crossovers Hulk, and bits from a Kreo Battleship set(lets hear it for clearance aisles!) and a CD spindle for the shoulders. Weapon comes from an Iron Man movie figure with a shapeways handle added. Also, lots of little magnets. Airbrushed him with Tamiya primer and then used Model Masters and Testors enamels, topped off with a Reprolabels faction symbol and a coat of Future. All in all, he has some blemishes from mistakes I made, but I am really pleased with him. I have to give thanks to my friend Krenger99 for all his tips and suggestions during this custom's creation that were extremely helpful. Hope you all like him!
