The Energon Pub

I've been wanting to paint this guy for ages! Now he's done I feel my life's ambition has been reached. Well nearly. Enjoy!

There are loads more pictures here so please take a look!

I don't think there's enough pics to do this custom justice - this is incredible!

Everyone else, you owe it to yourselves to check out the link.

This might be your best work.

Where does his left hand come from?

Thanks! When you say there aren't enough pics, are you referring to the handful in this thread or the 28 pictures on my site? I thought 28 was verging on obsessive!

Why thank you! I'm certainly very happy with the paint and the rust has come out better than Leader Megatron, but he required more physical alteration so I'm not sure.

If you'd read what I wrote on my site you'd know the answer! I made it with cuttings from an ice-cream tub and those wonderful little twisty-ties that used to come with TFs.

I actually meant just on this thread - but the more I think about it, 28 may not be enough either...


The ONLY criticism I could throw at you is the backpack hasn't been modded to compress better.
But no one else has fixed his backpack yet either...

LOL, well, if I think of some other pics to take, maybe I will!

I actually like the look of it when it's flat against his back so he has big nasty spikes sticking out. From the side it's flat. Sure, it's not screen accurate but it adds to the nastiness of his silhouette. The only reason I folded it out of the way in pick 5 in this thread was because I was mimicking a concept pic (that you can see on my site).

Awesome paint work as usual! I'm loving the weathering and rusty paint apps. It really brings out the mean and nasty elements of the Voyager figure's design that the normal colour scheme mutes with its flat and toyish palette.
