Yep, I love Tankor.

Never was able to get the figure though

Venomous Prime wrote:Never was able to get the figure though

He's a must have for any collection! One of the best tanks out there. Character aside, the toy just reeks power and is very imposing in both modes.

Though I probably shouldn't say that as i'm just rubbing it in as I have BM Tankor, CATalyst and i'm not sure if I held onto Universe Tankor or not.

I don't even think you can call what I have a collection

I want to get him someday.

Just never have any money

Ok these are mostly a work in progress as I'm only just learning how to recolour tonight and I'm currently using an aged copy of Paintshop Pro 5. They are eventually going to be put into MTMTE style sheets like Tammuz's but the character bio's will want tweaking as well.

I quite like the purple colour distortion on Bootlegger, it'll fit in with him being Energon-aholic - rest of him definately needs A tidy up though....

Vincent also needs an Alpha Trion-esque moustache & beard but I don't know how to do that an I've the artistic ability of a donut.

Hey Tammuz great charactes but I have a couple questions, you might have allready answered them before, I am not sure.

You said that Blitzwings spark was split into 13 pieces but there are a bunch of bots there. So are they all children of Blitzwing, or are some of them just regular bots that have been accepted into the group?

How exactly did Strikewing die, and perhaps why did you decide to kill him off?

Great job on all of em though really like reading em.

Try cutting and pasting an Apha Trion face over the top. Photoshop should be able to manipulate it enough to look right if not perfect, your model has the same shape face as most A3 pictures ive seen s i dont see why it wouldnt work.

I cant remember exactly how to do it, but ironically enough, i think its the 'Transform' function to shape it and place it.

Look forward to seeing the results!

most some are children(like smokestorm), most are modified clones, reincarnations(since the original 13 are "killed" off by Furcalor's team in the saga fic type thing we've not been writing for the past couple of years), wierd spark experiments, sparkless creations, or gifts from other teams( like the cassettes, none of them are pre-existing Cons who joined the group.

i have some plot/theory that Tammuz used a spark cube(similiar to an energon cube cept for spark energy) during the original splitting, this cube gained an affinity for Blitzwing's spark
during the process with some residual energy remaining there, and thus each time one off the children is killed their spark returns to it, and mingles with the whatever spark energy is in there, so what you get out isn't exactly the same you get out.

which leads niceley on to strikewing, i'd been wanting to re-write his bio for a while since he'd grown quite a bit, and it didn't exactly suit a level 4. now about a year ago Glyph introduced a 3 month inactivity clause, so names are released from inactive bots, and a search feature now prior to this two Strikewings existed, mine and another autobot one, when the name clause came in alot of duplicate names gained a space in front of them(that only appeared in the search feature) including my Strikewing, in the process Sharpwing suggested renaming him and then renaming him back, unfortunately all that achieved was loss of the name, so i had to come up with a replacement name, since i didn't want to give up the original 12, i reincarnated him(inventing the spark cube stuff) as Sturmwing, and wrote a bio based on the reincarnation of Strikewing and a vengeance on Sharpwing's in game alter-ego for "killing" him once already

Awesome stuff, is there a place i can read that fanfics at?

we've never actually written anything down, more sort of generated ideas and themes.

Meant to post this here awhile ago..just forgot. My brother is going to color him since I don't like coloring b&w pictures.

All I told him was I'd like a Armada Megatron type design influenced by BM Tankor. And it looks lovely

Nice piece of artwork and i love that gun arm design. Looking forward to the coloured version

like this

Vincent with quick "Burt Reynolds, _cough_ 70's dodgy movie beard" test shot


-snigger-
That took two seconds and looks far better than I expected! Reminder me of when I used to pencil in 'taches on magazines when I was little!

Hmmm

Sadly it actually reminds me of someone I know...

EDIT: Phaze - that's cool! - permission to nick it please sir?

Feel free to pilfer my friend

Good work Phaze! I like.

Gives him an aged look.

took about 2 minutes to do bit of trimming to the beard i'm kinda happy with the way it looks considering when i first plonked it on him it came down to his chest

His character's meant to be a aged hippy/biker sounding like Capt. Jack Sparrow and ZZ Top (http://www.riff-o-matic.com/riff-a-day/im_bad_im_nationwide/zz+top_037.jpg for anyone not in the know), so I'd be half interested in seeing that!

Looks pretty perfect as it is though. Thank you!

Question for you guys.

Way back when I was still a noob, Tammuz did a recolor at my request for one of my characters, Scavendrill. Now Tammuz did an excellent job (considering the nitpicking customer I can be), but I am once again suffering the "curse of a creative mind that needs to be put to work elsewhere."

With the recent revelation of the character Bonecrusher in the live action movie, I've been thinking that, with a bit of modification, Bonecrusher's alt and robot forms would be perfect for Scavendrill. Of course, Scavendrill's supposed to be a crane while Bonecrusher is... whatever, so there may need to be a bit of Photoshopping or a new commission. Right now, I'm just trying to get a general feel for the idea.

For those of you who've forgotten or are new:

Movie Bonecrusher

Really wish there was a better picture of this.

Scavendrill as done by Tammuz

is that not a mine sweeper?

Firstly, that's a lovely bit of recolouring by Tammuz.

Secondly, I'd play the waiting game until they release a really good picture of Movie Bonecrusher that you'd pretty much be happy with first then take it from there. There's a good saying I'm fond of: "You can't polish a turd".

That what I heard last time.

Yeah, Scavy's been one of my long time works in progress, mostly in regards to stats. Form wise, he was intended to look like a green RiD Hightower, but there's not many good peices of art in regards to that character (could have commissioned something, but I was new back then and didn't know that many artists). C'est la vie.

My first pic is my namesake, Magnaboss Maximus (pic done by the legendary Whisper). The second pic is his 'Supreme Mode,' a creation done by Flashwave.


And the last pic is of Trail Breaker. Robot mode is on the left, super mode is in the middle, and vehicle mode is on the left (and a bit of info on the bottom).
