The Energon Pub

Back in late February, I was inspired to turn FOC/Generations Bruticus into the Seacons / Piranacon.

I saw someone turn Vortex into an injector-like fish. I quickly pulled out my God Neptune and FOC Bruticus to see if any other combinations would work. I first saw Seawing from Brawl (front prongs, sloping tank), then Tentakil from Blast Off, etc... etc...

I started the project just before the huge wave of Piranacon projects began. Since I was busy with work and family, mine is only now complete.

My first post will be the combiner itself. I took some suggestions from Unicron 9 to bulk up the forearms of Overbite and Seawing. Same with the upper legs. The combiner still has scramble-city capability. So each limb can be any arm or leg.

Each limb also has a targetmaster mode that can be held by the combiner. I wanted a FPS theme of sorts. So Seawing is our sniper rife. Overbite a cannon. Tentakil a scatterblaster. Nautilator a chain gun. Skalor a flame thrower. Each limb's targetmaster mode has a purpose. So if Piranacon chooses a limb, it's like selecting a gun in Halo, Killzone, etc...























Tentakil

The funnest of the bunch. Each tentacle has a magnet. There's 8 guns, a buzz saw, and a grabber that can be attached. In bot mode, he can get a mean heavyarms-esq look.










Skalor









Nautilator

Chainguns in each claw and BW Rampage's blaster (3 barrels, like Nautilator's G1 gun)








Sea Wing








Overbite
The most challenging one to make hands down.

damnnnnnn that is simply amazing. So much better than Bruticus!!

Very imaginative! Good job.

Question: why are there no pics of the targetmaster modes?

that is amazing.

id like to see the target master modes as well.

Just Brilliant

This is so awesome and it had to be a pain! But it was worth it. Amazing job man!

This was my highlight of the week, as I was compiling the roundup.

Nice job, and wow to the amount of pictures!

Man, I just want to cry The word epic does not carry enough awesomeness! I wish I had the money to get all the parts to do this myself

astounding.

Most impressive. I wish they would take and produce this instead of bruticus. It looks amazing.

As like everyone else.....

One of the very best custom combiners I have ever seen. Such great use of the FOC Bruticus. This is simply amazing.....

Stunning! Absolutely stunning! I love the Seacons and I love everything about this: the concept, design, colors, all of it. The fusion of old and new pieces is brilliant. Please get some photos up of the Targetmaster modes as I also would like very much to see them.

That is truly amazing work. They are much more menacing & have more convincing beast modes than their original counterparts. Also, how the heck did you do overbite??? lol great work

Targetmaster modes

*Most pics in the down position. Guns/Bots too heavy to point/hold out straight

Outstanding work. Really great.

This is very very cool. Overbite is brilliant and Tentakill's target master mode looks rad with all the tentacles. Great job

One last pic - my current display - Custom MASTERFORCE!

That's just plain awesome sauce. Amazing work.
