Death Rattle the Hearse

Postby NeonPrime » Sun Nov 22, 2015 10:06 am

Motto: "Believe in nothing and you'll fall for anything."
Weapon: Battle Blades
The sinister Death Rattle creeps across the battlefield looking for Transformers who are alive or dead. With the help of his servant Corpse Grinder, Death Rattle turns his victims into works of taxidermy art. It's been said that some of his twisted creations have been seen shambling through Cybertrons wasteland.

I've always wanted a hearse transformer and decided to try and make one using a G1 Rodimus. I kept it simple using just three colors and stickers for details to maintain the G1 aesthetics. The trailer still opens and works but I didn't do anything with it yet so I didn't take any pics. I'm still working on ideas for Corpse Grinder and will post when he's done.

And special thanks to Hellscream999 for helping me decide on the new name!

Finished Death Rattle's servant Corpse Grinder. I decided to stay with the G1 aesthetics and the idea of a trailer minion like Optimus Prime's Roller but I wanted Corpse Grinder to have a personality and transform. I combined a Cliffjumper key chain and the Wheeled Warriors Saw Boss design to come up with a nasty little punk that would creep out even the toughest Decepticon.

I like it :-?

Not entirely sure about the name, however, I just can't seem to take it seriously - I start giggling whenever I say it to myself.

Love the implied skeleton decals on the bot mode, though, they really add a sense of 'self' without being complicated.
I am not a G1 fan, please treat my opinions as such.

Thanks! I actually contemplated Deathbed, Vivisector and Death Rattle. I decided on Thundertaker because the Undertaker and His Pals is one of my all time favorite movies and was double billed with the Corpse Grinders. :-P

Death-Bed sounds sinister and succinct (and a little sexy :-s )

Death Rattle also sounds nice, as it really evokes an experience of death;

thundertaker just makes me think of wwe - not a very good image to evoke in people's minds ;)

CRAP. I didn't think about the WWE. And since Death-Bed now makes me think of necrophelia ( thanks a lot :-P ) I think I'll go with Death Rattle. Thanks for the input!

Whoa! Did not mean it like that, just for some reason, it sounds really nice when you say it; it rolls off the tongue very well. But Death Rattle sounds great, really nice for a guy that makes taxidermy out of near-dead 'bots :twisted:

Daw, he's so cute, the buzzsaw could be changed into something sharper and more saw like, maybe re-name him into bone-saw and give him a saw arm...

Lol, he's a chibi death bot! I really wanted to have the blade retract into his chest like one of those old Starriors robots but there was just no way.

I love it, Death Rattle is a fantastic name. I imagine him speaking in ALL CAPS like DEATH from the discworld novels or the G-man from the half life games.

I love the black and white paintjob I get a bit of a voodoo vibe. I do wonder if the eyes would be better just being big black sockets without the red. a potential member of the DJD?

Excellent work.
