Blackout was a simple kitbash made from a Mega Blocks NeoSeaker. Simply repainted into darker colours & slightly modified in places.
He was originally going to be entry mode Barricade, which is why the toro is mainly black. However I changed my mind after realizing his head looked more like Blackout, then I decided on a protoform Blackout with both an entry mode and an alt mode. No modification was needed for the alt mode, I just opened out the entry mode into a two-rotor helicopter. Of course he doesn't look like the Prequel comic version, that would have been difficult to do going from the frame i was using. He's a lot thinner in this form, which i prefer: He seems more mobile in this form, rather than the huge hulking thing depicted in the prequel comic. The movie earth mode is half way between the two so I think it works quite well.
Scorpinok came from what I can assume is the NeoSeakers Pilot. I cut of his feat, repainted him, and changed his robot mode so he looked more scorpion-ish. As he would only roll up into the ball he's stored as if he had two legs I decided to keep both of them as a dual tail feature. You'd think Cybertron Scorpinok would think two tails are better than one. The paint rubs of him quite easily and he was difficult to paint, so parts of him look paintless.
Hope you like it.
