This was my first custom/repaint, Impactor. Wonder what Botcon's possible Wreackers maybe?? What do you think?

That looks pretty sweet. Only problem i see is ..well you cant see the details because of the flash. It kinda muted out some color.

Srry about the pics before, taken at botcon with disposable camera... here's some better pics.. let me know what you think.

and rack n' ruin... i know they are supposed to be connected, But i like the idea of them being more like autobot versions of runabout and runamuk in personality... running around.. separately causing chaos for the 'cons.... tiny custom antenna attached, in the comics they always had those... well here ya go!

Not bad. I just really do not like that particular mold, myself, and would have probably used a totally different one.

yeah, not a fan of mold myself... but all my armada toys got a repaint, and I could see Impactor having a badass, alt mode... What would you suggest as a good Impactor repaint?

I'd have to take a better look at his original comic appearances...

Hrm, originally he was a tank with a drill... the drill can be ignored. As for tank mode, et al...

So far I'd actually suggest CD Hot Shot, the Deluxe Universe Megatron, Wreckage (one of his blades could be replaced with a drill), or even Universe Onslaught.

Of these, I think Wreckage might be the best fit overall, but he doesn't fit the Universe aesthetic. Saying that, I'd say either CD Hotshot or his repaints, or Universe Onslaught might be the best fits.

One final thing, after looking at the issues, I'd suggest making the purple paints a bit bluer - more grape instead of burgandy.
