Rustbucket? We don't know much about him. He pretend to date way back from before the war. He say he was an important senator or something before he was "assassinated" and left for dead in a pile of junk. Some Junkions then reanimated him and rebuilt him with spare parts. Rustbucket then joined the Autobot army and trained hard, just to get revenge against the one that betrayed him. Dunno who, he wont tell. Said he's his alone. Watever. I say that old pile of scrap is a fuse short of a total meltdown if you know what I mean. Still, I admit that the old coot got some impressive stamina and can take lots of punishment. Stay clear of him when he fight though. He's so clumsy with his huge blades of his, he can cut through friends and foes alike. Still, he's a flyer and Primus know we Autobots have a shortage of those. Now excuse me, I must continue my patrol.
So, here's RUSTBUCKET in his spaceship mode:
As I did before with APETIMUS SUPREME, I used a 2007 Movie Voyager Starscream mold as a base. The arms and legs come from SW Xover Hans Solo. His partner, Chewie, died from GPS so Hans had to go to the scrapheap too. He was put to good use! Also, some Energon parts were used. Guess which ones?
I tried a new technique to paint. I sprayed a flat black basecoat first. Then, with flat silver paint and a special copper one, I lightly made the top coats with great results!
Now, here's the bot mode. He's quite the chubby and stucky fellow:
Even with Battle Mask Action!
I'm pretty happy with the final result.
