Custom Protoform Arcee, Movie Prowl, and RATBAT!

Postby Jin Saotome » Sun Oct 07, 2007 11:40 pm

Hah! Thought I stopped doing TF customs, didn't ya? Well I was just working on my Halo 3 Master Chief for so long I fell behind. This week I have new TF customs! They're all fan-requests too. Be it here on the boards, email, or my livejournal, someone requested these to be made. So here's to you fans out there, thanks!

More pics and Cyber-bike mode!-----> Protoform Arcee

Image
More pics and Concept Camaro Police mode!-----> Prowl

Image
More pics and Mp3 player mode!-----> Ratbat

There's a new Meantime too, done as an autobot this time. He's on my main page if you want to check him out. Enjoy, and thanks for all the requests!

Motto: "Vampires don't *sparkle*. They burn!"
Nice jobs. Just a few suggestions though.
Maybe it's due to living in Florida, but to me police cars either have red & blue or just blue light bars. All red denotes fire or ambulance here. I would also look into additional markings to complete the look of a police car. IMO he looks a bit naked without his shield, unit number, and other miscellaneous decals.
I think Arcee needs something to cover/hide her seat. You mentioned the handlebars and other details were removed because no one would be riding her, but the most glaring riding feature is her driver's seat.
Other than the neck joint you already mentioned, RatBat is cool as is.
Again, great job on all of them, and thanks for sharing.

Nice repaints Jin. Looking very good. Your painting style really is incredibly suited for these movie figures.

But honestly, I absolutely don't feel Arcee. I know it's a protoform, but I still think it lack color. If I remember correctly, bot the Prime as well as the official Starscream proto had a bit more color. I think it's just to plain looking and to much silver.

Ratbat is extremely funny and very well done. Should Hasbro release that I might just pick it up just for the fun of it.

But that Prowl. OMFG...it's beautifull. I was so going to limit myself with the movie figures, but if I come across a 08 Bumblebee, I'm so going to buy at least one to make my own Prowl.

You should also make a Diaclone colored Bluestreak from that mold. Just so I know it looks good and I can copy it someday :twisted:

I love how on prowl in car mode the front end is all black like current police cars, but when you transform him the center of his chest is white. If you wanted to make it even a little more of a homage I could see putting a tiny black swoop/point in the bottom center of that white section. Looks great the way it is too. Reminds me of that Japanese alternator meister repaint. Autolooper I think.

I know, and when I read that comic I really was thinking the TF's looked bland. I know they didn't have bright colors, but perhaps a bit more black or different shades for the metallic look: silver, aluminum (flat and gloss), maybe a little steel. Would still be loyal to the comic, but would give it some variance.

But that really is my only gripe with it. It's very well done.

In aw over here!! Those figs are great. I really like the changes to Arcee's vehicle mode, and its amazing how much molded detail is brought out with some paint. Some more color would really make it pop. My favorite is the Prowl. Thats a great ratbat too.

Definately well done pieces. I think the Arcee is my favorite though.
