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.

If you haven't seen the movie then you should of taken note of the spoiler warning in the thread's title! Because this is Jazz as he ends up in the Transformers Movie later. Don't click the link if you want to be surprised!

omg, you just blew me away with that final jazz, love the torn apart gimmick on him, thats just great.

I still can't get over how good wreckage looks. I'm going to have to mess around with that clear tint. And thanks for the mod suggestions (brawl and wreckage are the only two movie figures I have so far).

easily some of the best paint work I have ever seen. :shock:

You have my respect.

so seeing this pic that explains where bumblebee's battle mask comes from, is anyone (jin I'm looking at you) brave enough to try to make it sliding a reality?

Nice touch, lad - way to blow the point of the spoiler! :lol:

Personally, I'm a particular fan of the Laserbeak...

dry brushing is actually easy.. just takes some practice... lay down the dark color. and dry brush the others over...

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! I made the claw-fingers to kinda look like eagle talons, cause you know, he can fly.

Thanks so much for the replys everyone, they're much appreciated!

Jimsloth, you read my mind. I've ordered two of the Bumblebee 08's and will try the sliding mask first. If that doesn't work because it's too small or the head isn't detailed enough, I'll do an alternate head with clear lenses.

DendrakeDarkenz, metallics are usually pretty simple. Two good ways to do them are: The drybrush way as mentioned above requires black or dark grey base coat, then you lightly 'dust' the metallic overtop. That's what I did for Jazz's grill and inner black sections. The other way is to lay down the metallic color first, then do a black wash over it, and lightly drybrush over that again. This is what you'd do for a light-colored figure that you didn't want to put black on. After that you can mix silver in with grey, brown, and drybrush that on for the worn edges. So many ways you can experiment with that!

I'm going to do a movie Shockwave after this, using a Swindle probably, hehe.

yea, sorry, but it doesnt give away what happens, or how it happens, nor does it spesify where the figure has been modded, still, a very cool feature for the figure jin

by **Ramrider** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 5:17 pm

No, you gave away that Jazz was torn in half...

Luckily, I don't give a monkey's about spoilers...

Wow, starscream looks really nice. The claws match the bot really well too. Almost looks like they could fold up and slide into the centre of the launchers with some modding. Your paint job also helps slim down his undercarriage a bit.

by **wldchld0783_338** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 7:13 pm

wow, that screamer looks great, you mentioned that you used doc ocks tentacle claws. Just curious, but which dock ock fig did you snag those from??

by **TM TM2 Dinobot** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 8:15 pm

It's movie Sunstorm!

Omega, I's say they're the upper set of the movie version claws, as the bottom set has a different design, and the ML/Origins has ridges on the inside of the claws.

Yep, it's the Spiderman2 Doc Ock arms, lower-larger set actually with the tips shaved. The upper set would be great for Jazz-hands tho, as they're smaller and pointier.

That doesn't make sense,movie shockwave is a helicopter,i'm not saying it's a bad idea,in fact: i can't wait to see it,but what i would do is a headswap and repaint between swindle/dreadwing and blackout.

don't forget he is a triple changer (in Transformers The Movie The Game, what a dumb title). He's also a giant stationary cannon. Your choice of bots is about the same as I'd use though. Maybe figure out a way to use the helicopter blades on the bottom as the stabilizers for the cannon mode.
