MP Combaticon/Bruticus *Brawl WIP*

Postby Wikkid » Sun Oct 15, 2006 11:40 pm

The model being used is a 1/35 British Challenger 2. The alternators used are two sideswipes and Hounds arms.

Image

There's a whole whack of armour to cover the sides but at this point, much of it is taped and unfinished.



Image

To transform, flip the turret up and ahead.



Image

Separate the legs as Sideswipes do.


Image

Flip center tracks around to back. They are mounted on Sideswipes old forearms and hands allowing them to flip and swivel.


Image

Drop shoulders. Hounds arms will be hidden under the armour and half of the wheel in the center track will be cut off to allow them to hide.


Image

Flip chest and head down.

Image

The abdomen is gonna have a bunch of details added and will set the proportions better. The tracks will not turn but be glued in place, it's all a d00d can do when working off of the G1 show. At this point, I've got about 8 hours into it. There's a bunch of fillers and details yet to be added as well as a way to combine with the Onslaught MP based on a MP Prime mould.

Now THAT is what i'm talking about!!!!


You've done an awesome job so far Wikkid - it looks like the 'Bruticus Bonanza' is well and truly happening!

Using fuel drums as feet is an interesting approach - quite clever! Lets hope a stray shot doesn't make him do the hot-shoe-shuffle, heh...

I've been agonizing about what to do with the tracks on my Brawl.... I'm thinking i'll have to do the same as you, but i'll think on it some more....

What ideas do you have for the rest of the models?

lookin good so far. Please slice off those pannels infront of his upper thighs (waist pannels). Even if you re-attach them movable gundam style, I just hate how they stop the Sideswipe mold from bending the legs forward. Those arms are looking very awsome though. No complaints there. Can't wait to see where this project goes.
till all are one.

The complete Brawl can be seen......... http://www.tfmaster.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6167

I'm gonna get the shoulders fattened up a bit. Probably make the front fenders pivot up to cover them.

Image

Here's the picks for Vortex and Blastoff. The Blackhawk helicopter is as close as I can find to the G1 design. I'm using my poopy ol Skylinx for BO cause it's actually got gaps and breaks right where I need them.

Image

I even found these today to use as MP Sunstreaker and MP Brawn as well as a MP Prime for the Onslaught which will, once again, use the remaining parts from my Rino rig which had been sliced up for two previous works.
