AoE Bludgeon: Kneel to your Betters, FOOLS!

Fun (if predictable) repaint of AoE Drift, it's Age of Extinction Bludgeon, Proud Master of Metallikato.

Back Story/Flavor Text

Being born with the privilege to choose his function in life, Bludgeon chose to dedicate himself to achieving mastery of mind and body through Metallikato, the most revered spritual/martial art on Cybertron. Donning the ritual face markings of his sect, he became absorbed with learning the way of the sword, some would say at the expense of his spirituality. However, his keen edge and lightning reflexes were matched only by his long unchecked arrogance.

Simply put, he knows he's the best, he's trained several lifetimes to be the best and he's willing to kill every other Metallikato practitioner to remove all doubt. Having been cast out of his sect for killing "unworthy" students, the disgraced master fell in with the bounty hunter Lockdown, on the grounds that he got first dibs on any 'kato master that was marked for the hunt. And now, it just so happens that a big bounty has come up on some dirtball called "Earth", along with dozens of so-called "masters".

This is a pretty brilliant repaint. Looks very nice. I particularly like how you emphasized the pretender shell in robot mode, and his roots as a tank in vehicle mode.

Did you do any modification to the face, or is it just repainted?

Thanks for the friendly words, and good eye on the Pretender/tank nod! You hit it right on the head.

The only thing I did was cut off the nose, otherwise it's all natural Drift. It's just such a perfect repaint opportunity in every way they'd be fools not to do it officially somewhere down the line.
