Pretender Groundbreaker

Postby aprim » Mon Apr 04, 2011 9:25 am

Hey Guys, finally finished another custom. This is another Pretender, Groundbreaker.
This guy was originally suppose to be used for Octopunch's body before I decided it was too robotic for him.

Anyway, Groundbreaker is one of the coolest Autobot Pretenders, even though he didn't get much time in the comics and was never in any G1 toon, i always remember the cool Lion on the chest.

I gave him the BIG feet because Groundbreaker should have massive feet.
Other then that I tried to make him just like the G1 Figure. Hated painting this guy, the smaller car was a real pain.

Anyway hope you guys like him, heres the pics.

Wow.. Just.. wow..
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Aprim, amazing work. The highest respect. This almost makes me forgive Hasbro for making Pretenders. Except of course they didn't make it--you did.
For sale: My entire Transformers and third-party collection. Includes Masterpiece, Generations, Universe, Movie, Prime, Armada/Energon/Cybertron, G1, G2, a few Japanese imports, etc. Many never opened, the rest displayed in enclosed display cases to keep the dust off. A few ads on Craigslist/OfferUp for DC/MD/VA locals, will post on boards or ebay when I have time.

Now I would buy this! :ic$:

Back in the day I hated the pretenders too. The Decepticon Pretenders where much cooler than the Autobot ones! Some great villains came outta there, BLUDGEON & THUNDERWING

Man, I only had one pretender as a kid, and it was indeed Groundbreaker. Never thought I'd see him looking this awesome though. Love it! :APPLAUSE:

I love the use of the Master Grade DOM as the base for this. One of my favorite MS's and a great tribute.
