A character for a fanfic i'm writing about 4 Cybertonians who Unicron reformatted into his Heralds of the Apocalypse, and the 4 other bots that Primus reformats to fight them, named The Knights of Primus. This character is one of the Knights, and is one of two of Ultra Magnus's descendants.








still a WIP, need to repaint the head

[fromwednesday747]

yeah, i was thinking the same thing. Should i go with black?

[jimsloth]

Black might be too much contrast. I'd wash a gray in the fur. I love when fur detailing has two colors to it, and its really easy to do.

looked at this and thought more of b-boom homage idea then the ultra magnus maybe its me

weird thing is you have the inner white prime color scheme going on, but the Ultra face, and the helmet color is out of nowhere. I'd say if you are going with that head you might want to add the antennas UM had (they might need to rotate to fit them in during transformation), and paint it blue. Also, it looks a little off since it sits flush on the body. Its because the shoulders are above the level of the chin. Maybe if you could add a post/neck so the chin has a little room.

P.S. I don't own this mold yet, so I have no idea how much will fit in transformation.

Yeah, the head is Grey cause its a place holder from my Astrotrain that i repainted to G1 colors. I'm probably going to paint the head white, with the chin/goatee thing blue. The antenna idea is pretty good, cause theres plenty of room for it, as the Astrotrain head is a bit smaller than than Primal head. I don't want it to look exactly like the inner Magnus though, cause the character isn't supposed to be Ultra Magnus. I was pretty sure that some would mention how the head looks a little too small, but i actually kind of like it, makes him look very... soldier like, to me at least.

Its not the size of the head I think is off. I actually really like the size. Its the placement of it. I just wish it could float a little higher. Here's a quick photoshop:
