The Energon Pub

[Optimist_Prime]

I've always thought that Energon Inferno looks a lot like Ironhide, and after reading WW I thought so even more. Before I take 'em under the knife I wanted to see the potential results.

Work on the head shping and detail colors and you've got a winner, sounds good.

I agree with Sherade and... as soon as i saw this.. i knew just what to do about those "ears" on my energon Inferno funny how my first 2 kitbashes are gunna be energon figures... though ive only gotten as far as taking Hot Shot apart ready to be painted.. (doing him as Nightbeat with a head retooling..) be sure to keep us posted with your kitbash though id like to see how it comes out!

[Sherade]

I had an idea. I know you aren't going this far, but I thought this would be a good inspiration.

[zero-kaiser]

hmmm i like what youve done there Sherade... personally im gunna retool Inferno's current head.. simply cos im not too hot on that one... (is it the energon Towline/botcon Ironhide head?) most of the work on mine would be repainting and detailing... but nice touch on the shoulder pads

Thanks to Sherade design it let me go back to the drawing board and see what Ironhide really looked like, and then take artistic liberties from there. I retooled the head some, along with other slight touch ups. I also did his alt. mode. Just like Iron- hide, nothin' fancy. I actually don't have an Energon Inferono , so that is this on weeks agenda, and I'd love to start on this little project ASAP. Watch for More!!!

The aly works, but looks like it has too many gaps. Maybe a weapon or somethin' as a filler?

[Optimist_Prime]

Thanks. Seeing how this is supposed to be the WWI version I personaly dont mind gaps, but any suggestions for improvement would be more than welcome.

What type of weapon did you have in mind?

[Sherade]

Well, maybe something like his Energon counterpart, a turret. Obviously smaller, but the same concept. Maybe put it on that empty black panel in the back.
But, I don't know how he transforms exactly, so ity might not work so well....

Looks good, but I think the mold would benefit a lot from darkening the windows. Blackened windows would get rid of those annoying blue squares which serve no real purpose that I know of. Unless you like them there, of course. Now, go get that Inferno and get after this.
