I found this custom painted Blades look quite pretty. Not sure if someone else has posted this before or not. Take a look.

If it did not have the same stupid "half of the alt mode" sized weapon, I would barely believe that they were from the same mold.

Thats an awful lot of work they have done to it, especially at the cockpit! :shock:

It actually looks tougher and meaner than Movie Blackout!

That is more than a custom paint job it is more of a kit bash since he swaped the head add gatling cannon among other things. But it is still really cool.

by **Raymond101** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 1:37 am

I agree. The best kitbash I have ever seen. Even if it's not the BEST looking one, it's easily the one that deserves A++ for effort.

Dude that looks hella kickass. The little missles in front of the cockpit are taken off and other things too like the missles on the side. AAAA++++

Yeah!!! Long live Gundam Heavy Arms. Seriously Sweet Kitbash.

by **olokin** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 5:58 am

Awesome! The paintjob is pretty good. It can only be a kitbash, Hasbro can never achieve that level of paint and detailing on a figure.

Thanks for sharing.

Woah! That's bad ass!

Now is the movie characters and toys had looked like that I would have forced myself to be more forgiving of the movie itself. That is an awesome custom job.

I wonder how the head was made... :-?

by **roy_flagg00** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 9:00 am

Honestly, why could the movie characters not look like this.
DAMN!
Talk about making those people who said G1 could not work look like dummies.

That is awesome.

What's wrong with you? You can't argue with peoples aesthetic preferences. If I say I think this would look silly in the movie, then that's all there is to it, PAL.

Ok, that is really cool. The helmet visor option is a bit odd, but a really cool addtion.

Looking at his other stuff, and honestly, his Robotmasters Star Saber custom is what Takara should have done!

That's cool. Hasbro should have made that instead of the EVAC repaint... no wait, they would have screwed that up too. I love those gatling guns with the ammo feeds.

That is insane, it looks like he could take on all the Movie TFs and winn!
I would so buy that!

News Credits: 4 · by **craggy** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 2:02 pm

I so would have bought the toy if it looked like that. As it is I took one look at it in the shop and passed. Shame as Blackout was a pretty badass character in the film.[/i]

you are right, my bad. But you gotta admit, seeing that on screen would have been a tad bit better. a face on that figure makes a huge difference. that kitbash was done so seamlessly :shock:
