This is a commission I'm doing for keeblezak. He wanted Overcast (cybertron minicon of the Giant Planet Team) to have elbows. I also gave him normal fists as opposed to the claw missile launchers he came with, because in order to keep them, his straightened arm would have a funky chicken leg bend in the middle of it.

I got the ball joints from the hips of a second overcast, the sockets from the shoulders of the extra, and the gloves already in silver plastic from Over-Run. I also drilled out fist holes because the front of the hand was hard to identify.

and the part you've been waiting for, pics:

And if you put the arms like this...

then you can't see them at all from above

That improvement is very cool. I like the arms bent so we I can see them. It makes his fist looks like bombs and what not

I did take a photoshoot of this little guy before I mailed him off. (he already arrived at this point) I thought I'd share a few of the photos here. And Again, I'm going on the record saying I love Fishing Line. Nothing quite makes a bot look like they're flying like thin clear string suspending them in front of a window.

The following shot I used a little blur tool on the fishing line and cropped slightly. The other five are just as I shot them.
