Arms Micron: Razor Sharp

Motto: "Our society's downfall will not be this war. The war IS our society. That which will get us will be the little things. Some humanoid race, some tossed cannon, the little things that no one looks out for. THAT is for what we must be vigilant."
Weapon: Twin Shoulder-Mounted Rocket Launchers
Hello again!

By now, I've posted several Arms Micron figures. Scalpel, Shuffler, Sights, but now it's time finally for me to reveal the original inspiration.

By that, I mean I think I came up with the idea to use the Mantis as Scalpel before I really tapped into the potential of the Arms Microns. But I've been wanting a Razor-Sharp for Botcon Banzaitron for a very long time, and a few weeks back finally presented me with a Shining Gra for a swallowable, if not ideal price. Banzai-tron, finally has his crab.

I think this is my favorite of my customs to date, even beating out Scalpel, slightly, who actually got some real customizing. In part, I think it's because a number of things just went right for Razor-Sharp. The paint din't come out too think or runny (his toes a little, but negligible), and wehen I saw how he transformed, I was horrified the slide joint would eat paint in a heartbeat. *knock knock*, so far I've been wrong. And he's got such a fun colorscheme.
Image

Speaking of. If you can call it a gripe, I chose to go more G1 look. The Botcon Banzai toy uses grey instead of black, and a much different purple than in G1, resulting in a mis-match between Razor Sharp and his targetmaster. But I much prefer these colors.

I decided to trim in silver around the blade, and a few key spots to break the solid purple. He didn't want a lot of trim in my eyes, but he needed just a pinch of color. Unlike the Arms Micron-standard single red optic, something told me to use yellow. And pulling a page from TFSS Gatoraider, I painted the fronts of his hinge yellow to simulate two "standard" optics. ot sure the illusiion psses, but the yellow still looks right to me without being overkill.

A Merc' with a soft side?


I see two distinct blasters in Razor Sharp, and a long-handled short bladed axe mode, depending on which claw is "forward". One is an energy blaster,the other a projectile rifle. I prefer the former, but let me know which you like.

With Razor-Sharp, there's nothing I would o much differently. And with Razor-Sharp, my project list diminishes. From here, I'd like to do Lionizer for Cyb Smokescreen, and turn Zamu into Top-Heavy. In the larger figures, I'd like to do Heatrock, Skyfeather, and Universe Fire Convoy, but with the larger figures comes a larger hesitation. I'd like a saw for TAV Roadblock, but since we already did that with TFSS Frenzy, I think I might stick with giving him a Mechtech weapon. So if this is the note I end on for a while, I am glad, cause I think it's a good note. Thanks for looking!

I think this looks very nice. Fits in very well with Banzaitron, from my POV. Good job. :APPLAUSE:
