The Energon Pub

Welcome to my custom thread everyone. I'll be posting all my repaints and kitbashes here since I can alter the main title when I post updates. That's easier for me than flooding the forums with multiple threads. I'll try to post the date of the last update as well, so you know when to check it.
Critiques, questions, praises, and just about anything else you want to chat about is welcome! The only thing I'd ask you to refrain from is flames or harasing posts, as I've had that in the past from other customizing forums and don't have the stomach for those types any longer. Seibertron was always recommended to me as a site with a professional atmosphere about it. That's what I'm hoping for in this thread! So... without further delay, here come the updates.

That's pretty damn nice! LOVE the crack windsheild and headlight. Wonder how well he'd fit in Leader Primes hands?

Ok, I'm going to make this a solid thread instead of making a new one for each figure, since I can alter the title when needed. Here comes all my Movie figure repaints/mods! Click on the link below the image to see the character's main page with all the images.

Badass work Jin

Nice work but you say you put a spoiler warning in the threads title yet there isnt one.

Have you only done work to the movie figures as those are the only pics i am seeing. Your first post says you posted something and you got responses after that regarding some projects yet i dont see the pictures. Did you remove them?

Fixed! That was from a copy/paste. The very first post of this thread was just my Jazz custom, but I turned it into an all-inclusive thread so as not to clutter the forums with multiple topics.

I did forget to add these two older customs however:

G1 Shockwave

Megatron Classics repaint/light-up

Thanks Sonray! I plan on making a cartoon-based Masterpiece Megs if I can snag one on sale somewhere.

Yes, he's finished! He took almost two days of work too, whew. Thanks for the Allspark members for helping me find good shots of his face!

More pics and writeup here!------> Starscream!

Awesome! im not too keen on his color though, but i love the dirty scratched look. how do you do that?

by **Sentinel Pax** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 4:47 pm

...I love that Starscream. The paint is a bit light for the movie jet, but that doesn't really matter, because there are HANDS. Hands, I say! There is a God.

News Credits: 11 · by **Overcracker** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 5:20 pm

Completely awesome. Love the Starscream with hands and the Ninja wreckage.

Very cool customs.

I wish could do that.

Ohh and in the tradition of Seiberron.com.

Wlecome to Seibertron.
Warning Seibertron contains NUTS!!

Sorry didn't know if you had gotten the official welcome yet.

Again totally awesome customs.

I think he did get an official welcome, but it was pretty half-hearted. That was better.

Truly stellar work! I'm sure that Spidey would thank you for taking so many Doctor Octopuses off of the street.

Ma those are cool!
Love it how you used the Doc Ock arms, makes me want more so I can start my own stuff with it!

Did you had the articulation in Laserbeak, or is it already there?

News Credits: 5 · by **decepticonjon** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 11:33 am

you work looks great.. movie screamer looks so bad ass, the doc ock hands are perfect

by **Khaotika** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 12:01 pm

Beautiful work, and a definite improvement over all the regular decos. I especially love the Brawl, and the Energon Shockwave update.

I added a section from Doc Ock's finger claws as the neck actually. Click the link for more pics and the write up.

I finally got my hands on a Bumblebee 08 and man... this is one sweet figure. I'll be surprised if it doesn't win some figure of the year award for its design. But with that new concept Camaro form he needed a new movie-accurate paint job...

More pics! -----> Bumblebee!

Enjoy!
