Back in late February, I was inspired to turn FOC/Generations Bruticus into the Seacons / Piranacon.

I saw someone turn Vortex into an injector-like fish. I quickly pulled out my God Neptune and FOC Bruticus to see if any other combinations would work. I first saw Seawing from Brawl (front prongs, sloping tank), then Tentakil from Blast Off, etc... etc...

I started the project just before the huge wave of Piranacon projects began. Since I was busy with work and family, mine is only now complete.

My first post will be the combiner itself. I took some suggestions from Unicron 9 to bulk up the forearms of Overbite and Seawing. Same with the upper legs. The combiner still has scramble-city capability. So each limb can be any arm or leg.

Each limb also has a targetmaster mode that can be held by the combiner. I wanted a FPS theme of sorts. So Seawing is our sniper rife. Overbite a cannon. Tentakil a scatterblaster. Nautilator a chain gun. Skalor a flame thrower. Each limb's targetmaster mode has a purpose. So if Piranacon chooses a limb, it's like selecting a gun in Halo, Killzone, etc...

Tentakil

The funnest of the bunch. Each tentacle has a magnet. There's 8 guns, a buzz saw, and a grabber that can be attached. In bot mode, he can get a mean heavyarms-esq look.

Skalor

Nautilator

Chainguns in each claw and BW Rampage's blaster (3 barrels, like Nautilator's G1 gun)

Sea Wing

Overbite
The most challenging one to make hands down.

Nice job, and wow to the amount of pictures! :APPLAUSE:

Man, I just want to cry :sad:

The word epic does not carry enough awesomeness! I wish I had the money to get all the parts to do this myself :BOOM:

astounding.

Most impressive. I wish they would take and produce this instead of bruticus. It looks amazing.

As like everyone else..... :APPLAUSE:

One of the very best custom combiners I have ever seen. Such great use of the FOC Bruticus. This is simply amazing.....

Stunning! Absolutely stunning! I love the Seacons and I love everything about this: the concept, design, colors, all of it. The fusion of old and new pieces is brilliant. Please get some photos up of the Targetmaster modes as I also would like very much to see them.

That is truly amazing work. They are much more menacing & have more convincing beast modes than their original counterparts. Also, how the heck did you do overbite??? lol great work :BOWDOWN:
