The Energon Pub

This thread woulda popped up sooner or later

Use this thread ONLY for finished art/kitbashes of your characters.
I need them for reference for the comic.

no unfinished sketches or anything. thats what the WIP thread is for


cant wait to see some stuff!

Looks like I'll be going first then.


BTW if anyone knows how to attach multiple pics to one post I'd be much obliged if they'd tell me - thanks )

But remember to add the attachments in the opposite order to how you want them to appear... last one first.

Nice work, FH!

Deszaras X just sent me this pic of the finished Landbreaker....amazing work.

Lockdown = finished !
I really dig the paintjob, I can imagine someone else wouldnt.. you either love or hate it I suppose

Included is a groupshot of a lot of pics, I have hi-res pics for the cataloque etc right here, to who should I send them ?

Well...There's only a few days left before the deadline, so I figured I'd show what is PROBABLY the final version of Mechanica. Communications between BlackArachnis and me have been sparse, so I dunno if he'll let me know what he thinks of the final image, or any changes he wants made before the due-date.

Some notes:
*Changes made to the mold:
-In robot mode, her vehicle mode windshield now swivles up and covers up the tire in her back (rather then hang down behind her like a butt-flap)
-Her "Spark Crystal" port on her chest/stomach has been removed
-She has a translucent green scanner/visor over her right eye. Think of the scanners just about every badguy had in Dragonball Z
-She uses the gun and knife from Armada Sideswipe as her Laser welder & Energon scalpel.

*The bright yellow windshield & light below it are her actual siren/flashing lights. I doubt it'll come up in the comic this issue, but they would flash on and off if she was responding to an emergency.

*Until/unless told differently, that Wrench & Bolt symbol is the Transtopian Medic symbol.

*That hidious sploch on her chest is suposed to be her faction symbol. After trying, quite unsucessfully to shrink and stretch the large symbol Isk made to fit on her chest, this one i did pixel by pixel was actually the "best" looking one. I appologize for how poopy it looks.

*Blackarachnis has seriously modded her head. I've only heard a sentence or two about what he did and without pics to actually see it, I have no way to mirror these changes. As I unserstand it, he removed the "mowhawk" on her helmet and somehow turned her forehead crest into what sounds like an actual movable visor piece. We'll just have to make that version an "upgrade" or something for future comics/waves. To Josh or anyone else involved with the art, feel free to simplify her head to your liking and downplay that mowhawk & crest.

*Blackarachnis also smothed down alot of the details in her thighs & "boots", as well as some mods to the designs of her "cowboy boots" Again, with no pics for reference, I couldn't do much about this on my version. Again, for art purposes, I guess don't make the legs quite as detailed as the actual Arcee toy.

Here they are again

Ok... Unfortunately I have to get some Krazy Glue and reattach a few parts on Skortch. Luckily, though... Drucilla is still in tact. Add to that I got a cheap Wal Mart web cam and... Well... You can see for yourself/selves:


Drucilla photo album.

Please note that the folder in that account of her is named after my personal fanfic name for said character (Dragula)... I renamed her Drucilla for the purposes of the Transtopia project. Meanwhile I've had her done for a long while before I had ever even thought of Skortch. Once I reglue the 2 or so parts that snapped off back on I'll bring him in and take pics of him... 'Til then... Enjoy my - *ahem* - "witch," Dru.

Is she a basic? I see that she has an Arcee head, but I know that there is an oversized knockoff out there and I can't really get a feel for her size for the pics. She just looks like there's too much going on there to be a basic. Cool design though.

Lol Yes she's a basic... But the body is actually a 1/144 scale Ground GM model kit from Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team. The "1" sticker is from said kit, too... And the "UNT SPACY" stickers are from my Gundam "Alex" kit I got a while back. I originally had a different head on her... A severely modified G1 Constructicon (forget which one) head. That head just didn't fit a feminine look, though... Espeecially with the rather "low" feminine look of the body. So, when I went out and got Universe Night Slash Cheetor and Energon Arcee for my Skortch bash I wound up with alot of spare parts. One of those was the E-Arcee head... So... I went with it and made Drucilla/Dragula more "feminine." Even though her obvious main stand point is "I shall help you..." *Pulls out blaster and shoots the persons head off soon as theior hand touches hers.*
Lol xD
Hopefully that answers alot of future questions, too. :3

Ok... I don't have every pic taken yet. I still have to do the cat and motorcycle modes... But hey! Pics of Skortch:
