As I'm totally falling into this awesome <LSOTW> series, so having some custom ideas for the wreckers. here's the first idea - Rotorstorm.

"And yes, I am that good. "

Why gave him a Warbot looked packing? In order to make WRECKERS team up. :P
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Based on the one of my favor model movie Incinerator, and change the V22 back to single rotor.
Image
Image
Image

Compared with other helicopters…

Transform~!!
Due to Incinerator's body is not much movie style, so it could be easy to match back to the regular robot.
Image
Image
Image

I even had a idea to put a folded joint for the helicopter's tail, but sorry for my poor kitbash skill...
Image

Image


Josh Burcham had a mistake and put the shinny pink on the top of Rotorstorm's guns (the correct is on the back), and i followed this mistake as well :P

Rotorstorm is a very onceited charactor but with outstanding skills & confidence.
Image
Image
Image
Image

His unexpected death was really shocking me.

That's all, hope you'll like it. :)

Pretty cool. But the robot mode just doesn't seem accurate enough for me. But then again I'm really picky sometimes. :D This guy is my fave char of that series. Hopefully hasbro will make one in their upcoming lines.

The main colour seems the wrong shade to me but other than that I think it's an absoloutely amazing modern take on Rotorstorm!

The only thing that disappoints me about this figure is the fact that I'll probably never own one.

Pure awesomeness.

Probably the blue helicopter of Universe Bruticus(Vortex?) would be better for a custom Rotorstorm. But his size is too small for me.

Where do people get those awesome mechanical backgrounds from anyway?

If I had to guess I would say that is it Warhammer 40k ship terrain, and awesome work on the custom makes me want to go a buy the parts to give this one a try myself

Very bold. It's an instant classic.

Well that's just great, I was so happy with my Takara Incinerator 45 seconds ago...

Absolute win though, ace classics-style update that really shows how awesome the Incinerator toy could've been.

Rotorstorm was one of my favourite toys as a kid, and this custom totally captures the feel of the original while updating it and making it bad-@$$!

Cool; although the blue is very far from the right colour (less green!), and the windscreen could use more pink.

Awesome work. Love how they turned the mold into a helicopter; it looks perfectly natural.

Pretty awesome take on Rotorstorm. I'm in the process of digibashing Energon Bulkhead to see if I can get a reasonable Rotorstorm out of one.

I find many people using the M.S.G. (Modeling Support Goods) Mechanical Chain Bases by Kotobukiya
On Hobby Link Japan
I have only one myself, but with more you can create entire hangars and such.

Wow....that's awesome! I didn't think Movie figures'd work that well in other looks.
Also....
"Wreckers..COMBINE!"
I loved that part....
