fake UW combiners
Neat ideanot-UW Sunbow Onslaught w/ backpack management (works for Pyro and Megaempress too)
Looks great. Love the color combinationCHUG Autojetter - after splurging on God Neptune, I had to have all his teammates from Beast Wars: Shattered Glass
I've been waiting forTR Gigastorm, who takes up waaaay too much space on my shelf for what he is!
Uh...yesDo I even have to say it?

I repainted a KO Bruticus into Ruination and a discounted Victorion into Megatronia. The official versions are quite expensive these days, plus it gave me opportunities for creative liberties. The KO Bruticus came with a second Vortex instead of a Blast-Off, so Skid-Z temporarily fills in for Movor as a leg. The Megatronia team's more complicated, I'll just include a pic below.

Ah my bad, he's based on the E-Hobby Shining Magnus, AKA "Piss Magnus."
Again: YOURS looks better! Really like the kind of toxic and royal or even glamorous god-like looking color scheme.I tried to approximate the vibrant-yet-sickly clear yellow with a mix of gold and highlighter color. The cab is a normal yellow, though.
Looks great, too!Oh and so I don't lose track of it later, I made another funny crossover custom in https://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/monokuma-prime-danganronpa-crossover--t115960.php
Latebrus-K wrote:Trust me, you aren't the first person to do a double take on seeing Megatronia! Although I've had to touch up her forehead since that picture was taken, I think the combined form was one of my most successful customs. As for Magnus, the regal impression is delightfully fitting as *checks tfwiki* the e-hobby designers based Shining Magnus on the scene when he was handed the matrix.
the scene was filled with BLUE light but y'know
EDIT: And I totally forgot to ask you about that Blitzwing I saw behind Gigastorm in tank before (and almost forgot to mention it againI also made some Armada Decepticons, with a couple takara imitations in there. Had some odd issues with the finish: the handpainted orange on Megatron and Thundercracker is unusually matte and Starscream's white is looking... fluffy. Ah well, I still love having them in my collection. The Blitzwing at the back of the groupshot is supposed to be Thrust. I like his tank mode.
I guess, you applied the white with a spray can. Yea, it tends to look like this if you apply matt paints with spray cans (in thin layers). I got a decently priced small mobile airbrush compressor with an airbrush gun included to apply paint evenly over larger areas. Works great and is still pretty easy

The original Shining Magnus is quite possibly the single-greatest candidate for aftermarket LEDs of any Transformer ever.
Yours does a brilliant job looking like it's glowing unaided with that shiny paintjob.
The fake Ruination and Megatronia are very well done, nice work. I need to get two Bruticus KOs..
Autojetter is inspired.
Rattrap looks way better now.Latebrus-K wrote:(Apologies if these images don't format properly, the links should still work) Kingdom has been the gift that keeps on giving. With all the baffling and inaccurate color choices for the Beast Wars characters, I'm not sure if I've ever been so motivated to make touch-ups, glow-ups, and corrections.
Rattrap, for example, really needed some extra shine.
But then I saw that it's glow-ups. Looks really nice, too
But I'm not sure about Megatron...I also received Beast Megatron recently. I decided I was fine with giving him the option of partsforming for a more accurate robot mode, so I started slicing through the glue holding his "hide" in place and cutting slits in the shoulder panels to let them detach like the MP figure's. This quickly turned into me completely flaying him. No, really. I've linked the imgur album below.

I still consider Beast Megatron a WiP, as I'm not sure how I want to treat beast mode beyond some purple washes between the scales. I like the tan underbelly so being able to pop off his shoulder kibble is a blessing.
Yes. I want to make Ruination.Latebrus-K wrote:Thank you for the kind words! Yes, "glowing" was part of what I was going for with Magnus, along with some other things![]()
If I may ask, why two Brutici? I assume you're planning to customize at least one?
Latebrus-K wrote:Quick post - haven’t said anything in ages but haven’t stopped painting stuff! Lots more to share. For now:
Siege Autotrooper, didn’t like the siege Datsun for prowl and gang but this I love. bit of KP and a bit of animated
Siege toxitron, still needs more touch ups (spray didn’t go as planned), kind of animated look on the inside and G2/CW on the outside. Made from a washed up Netflix Magnus
Siege G2 Sunset Sideswipe/Tigertrack, since siegewipe is out the revolving door. tried to make him very accurate. Roof is wip ofc
Thanks for looking!

The blue on G2 Sunset even looks a bit transparent from this angle like the DotM Scan Series figures.

Thanks! Obviously it’s just teal paint, but I think the fade turned out excellently. I hope to use it on more figures in the future![]()
Here are a couple of diaclone guys, Delta Magnus and Overcharge!
