TF Prime Blurr

Motto: "scream drive faster"

The idea of TFP Blurr was birthed the moment I opened up TFP Wheeljack. Luckily for the project I popped my customizing cherry well before hand so I wasn't going to make a mess of this. Still there was still alot of customizing firsts with this toy, so I still had to cash in the Vcard again....

For the transition from WJ to Blurr, the most obvious part was the head, I cut Wheeljack's 'ears' and added Blurr's trademark fin. I added a couple tendrils, a goatee, and IRL Blurrz smirk for character. Second had to be Blurr's signature shoulders. I could have left the shoulders parallel to the chest instead of WJ's perpendicular, but I really wanted more height with it, so I greenstuffed the shoulders to make them taller. This complements the vehicle mode, making it more aerodynamic and blurr friendly. Lastly I had to toss the swords because they look terrible to begin with. Didn't stray too far from home as I found something from my Gunpla hobby, taking Gundam Cherudim's Sniper Rifle transitioning into Battle Rifle weapon.

For paints, I mixed my teals and blues with whites and metallics for a shinier sheen. Added a bunch of paint chipping which isn't exactly evident with the photos, guess I'll try photographing with a white background from now on.

Thanks for looking!

Those fins really work in alt mode. Using that mold as Blurr is a great idea and you did a great job making it happen.

Pretty labor heavy customization you did there i must say. He looks great man! :APPLAUSE:

Nice.. That mold fits that character well.
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

A good use for the mould, but with the shoulders looking a little rough I do wonder if you've had much experience working with epoxy putty previously. A couple of pointers would be to keep your sculpting tools wet while working the putty and to sand the parts to even the finish before painting.
