Request/help Blackout Screenshot

Postby cybercat » Tue Jun 29, 2010 9:41 pm

First: mods, if this isn't allowed, feel free to lock/delete and gently bludgeon me.

Second: At the Seibs party it somehow came about that I am apparently like quadruple dog dared into going next year to Botcon in cosplay. And of course, being me (id est, IDIOT) I said, sure. Bayverse Blackout. Yeah, because why be like...reasonable, right?

Okay, actually have most of the thing figured out, minus some like...engineering issues (how far back/how to mount the rotor engine, etc). What I need help on is this: I need a good clear shot of Blackout's back to figure out the kibble. I fail at being able to screencap. Obviously, not going to be movie accurate, but I want to get the idea particularly of these two issues:

1) where is the tail marking (4500x) when he's in bot mode?

and
2) where does his tail rotor go in bot mode?

Any help? Pics/thoughts/answers? Y'all know *everything* so I'm coming to you for help.

HK, no one can resist the quadruple dog dare.

Clear screencaps in these movies is rather difficult. TFW2005 has screen captures which may be helpful, particularly:

Concept art may help

I don't know where exactly the tail markings (or the tail at all) ends up in bot mode. Since Blackout uses the tail rotor as a hand-weapon, it may end up in/on his arm somewhere. :-?

Laughing at me already!?!? My work here is done. :grin:


Oh I am under no delusions that this will be made of anything other than Suck, Fail and Duct tape, but goldarnit! I was quadruple dog dared! I have no choice!

HK, I shall dub myself BLANDOR, sort of the bastard stepchild of Blackout and Grindor.

Well, I'm at least somewhat reassured that others who are more savvy are also having problems getting good screencap. And that concept art TOTALLY helps, esp for the feet! Thank you so much!!

HK, hrm, On the arm you say?

This I have to see..I would have pushed it to a quintouple dog dare :P

Honestly though the folks who cosplayed at 2010( I actually knew 2 of them) did a fantastic job! I can get you in touch with one of them if you want some help..She is a fantastic artist and she has a great deviant art page I'll pm you the link :)

I think she posts here every now and then too..
