I got you. I only asked about these two, since I'm currently trying to paint and build these two, and I'm not very confident in my builds. (The orange paint mix -- based on vintage General Lee die-cast cars -- sometimes seems thick, and in disassembling Throttle to make Muzzle's body, I noticed several part incompatibilities.)
Vance and a Decepticon HM (which I've decided to call "Snark") are based on custom concepts using repro parts from 1988 Headmaster (Jr.)s, I initially commissioned from
Bellyboy. I've always wanted to imagine a HM operator for an Autobot who turns into the General Lee. Since that custom uses Fangry's head on Lug (Hosehead)'s (upper) body, Snark uses Hosehead's head on Brisko/Wilder's body, and serves as my "spare" HM Jr., perfect for instances where you have a Headmaster body, but little hope of finding/owning the body's intended pilot. With Titanmasters running around now, I thought I'd try to design and build some of my loose ideas with the new guys.
- Snark:
- Skytread's robot head, in black (w/ red visor and sandstone-colored face)
- Fangry's head, in black (w/ teal visor)
- Overboard/Crashbash or Fangry's torso, in Horri-Bull's brownish gray or medium gray
- Overboard or Nightbeat's arms (Fangry's also OK), in a black (w/ inner arms that match the torso's gray)
- Fangry's legs, in black
- (Dr.) Archeville: (I know you prefer non-organic characters, but the last time we saw Dr. Archeville, there wasn't much organic left on him. Who knows what happened in the 22 years between then and the age of the Headmasters?)
- Vorath's robot head, in black (w/ silver face and red visor)
- Xort's head, in gunmetal or (metallic?) dark violet (w/ silver visor and fleshtone face, or all silver face)
- Crashbash's torso, in silver or light gray
- Crashbash's arms, in gunmetal or (metallic) dark violet (or black, w/ inner arm details gunmetal)
- Xort or Loudmouth's legs, in gunmetal or (metallic) dark violet
- "Obsidian" (undetermined name): (I know I'm not the first person to think of converting Highbrow into Obsidian, preferably with his Universe 1.0/Beast Machines TV colors. But I'm sure I'm one of the first to try this idea for the Autobot(?)'s head. Just thought of this one today.)
- Furos's robot head, in 1982 Cobra blue or Universe Obsidian's dark blue (w/ orange face and chartreuse yellow visor)
- Apeface or Furos's head, 1982 Cobra blue or Tiger Force Duke Green (w/ orangish-yellow face)
- Furos's torso, in 1982 Cobra blue or Universe Obsidian's dark blue
- Furos's arms, in Tiger Force Duke Green (with Cobra Blue stripes painted on the 2 short sections of his outer arm armor)
- Furos's legs, in Tiger Force Duke Green
