I've had this boy ready for two weeks now, but I haven't had access to a digital camera. I guess I could have just dug up my real camera and done some scanning, but hey. There're here now! I hope you enjoy!

No Autobot symbols here!

Here are some close-ups of the bracket that's holding on the gun and the new handle on the other one.

It even stores in an existing screw hole.

That is awesome! Maybe you should make a Shockwave.

Kick ass, bro!

by **Tom_Servo** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 10:13 am

Thanks guys! Here's some more.

Didja notice the long stacks on Ironhide?

Beutiful! Did you flip Ironhide's head around and use the creepy siamese soundwave face?

Shoulda' been a Ford. :grin:

No, kidding. Love it. Only real beef with it is the head, but, I guess thats how it'd look anyway.
Nice job.

Nicely done, that man! Really conveys the character well, and the weapons mods make him look that much closer to both his G1 and Cybertron incarnations.

So... Cassetticons?

Awesome! Great idea. Ahaha! Really nice. The Ironhide is also very well done. Two tumbs up!

Awesome! Great job on the head! And I love how the front grill of the Topkick makes Soundwave's 'cassette holder' thing, and Ironhide's weapon looks great on Soundwave's shoulder! Ironhide looks good too, though I think the black suits him better.

how did you get rid of the embossed Autobot insignia on the back?

by **Sonray** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 5:28 pm

it had to be done sometime! I kept thinking that everytime i looked at my ironhides dismantled head. lol

Great job. But the paints a little rough though.

YAY! My favorite Decepticon!

Oh, and for Iron Hide, I would love to see someone paint him either the deepest darkest bloodiest red you can possibly find; or as a gag...bright peptobismol pink. :grin:

Im actually doing that now. ^-^

Thanks everyone. Yep, it's Ironhide's own head spun around and altered just a bit.
The Autobot symbol on his tailgate is raised so it scrapped off nicely
The symbol's from Reprolabels.com, by the way.

What's the beef?
Good luck on that pink Ironhide, Sonray.

HAHAHAHA! I want to see it the moment it is finished! Maybe you can pose him smashing the bolts out of Sideswipe because he painted him pink!

by **Sonray** » Sun Aug 26, 2007 9:11 am

When i said i was "working on that now" i meant i was painting him red, not pink. Everyones a comedian around here huh?

But that would be an interesting thing to see...

OUTSTANDING. Better than I thought it would be.

by **Unicron Singularity** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 1:45 pm

OMG the Soundwave and the red Ironhide... drool
that's SWEET!

by **Auto Bot** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 2:40 pm

Very nice treatment to the shoulder cannon.

Where did you find that extra piece of plastic meat for the shoulder cannon to stand on?

Simply amazing.

by **Tom_Servo** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 2:49 pm

Thank you!
The cannon bracket is scratch built from Styrene tubes and rods glued together and shaped with a cigarette lighter. It's wedged into an existing hole in the gun and screw hole on the body. It was pure luck that it's able to store on the back of his leg in truck mode!

by **Auto Bot** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 2:53 pm

You're very creative. I noticed you've done so many custom jobs here.
