OK I seen a couple people who have Transformers in Green Lanturn colors and it gave me the idea for this topic. I'd like to see some other Transformers repainted in Super Hero costume colors. You can post anything you want as well but just because I'm not that good at editing I'm just going to make a few requests.

BM Nightscream as Batman

Cybertron Megatron/Galvatron allso as Batman.

BW Airrazor (The original not the TM version) and Halkgirl.

Optimus Prime (any version of him) as Superman.

Tarantulas as Venom (both his original and TM versions)

Blackarachnia as Ghost Widow (City of Villains Signature character)

Any version of Scorpinok as The Scorpion

G1 Blurr as The Flash (the armada version doesn't really seem verry fast from what I seen of him but I like the mold)

G1 Elita One as Wonder Woman.

Armada Jetfire as Martian Manhunter (that one I totally picked at random)

G1 Shockwave as Cyclopse (just had to toss that one in there)

That's all I can think of for now.

P.S. You don't have to do any of these they're just sugestions of things I wanna see in here.

I've seen Tarantulas done as Black Costume Spidey/Venom in SymbioteSpiderMan14's signature at some point.

Transtopia had a great "Fastball Special" 2 Pack, that was Cybertron Overhaul and Landmine repainted as Wolverine and Colossus.

Anyway, I got to go the Marvel route more than the DC route - Optimus Prime in Captain America Colors and Classics Jetfire in Iron-Man colors would rock. Beast Wars Scorponok and TM Rhinox for Scorpion and Rhino.

I always fancied the idea of "What if they had maintained the connection between Marvel and Transformers, and connected it with the Headmasters?" The Transformers then would gain the powers (if any) of his binary-bonded superhero or supervillain partner.

Captain America + Optimus Prime
Cyclops + Prowl
Iron-Man + Jet/Skyfire
Wolverine + Grimlock

Dr.Doom + Megatron or Mandarin + Galvatron?
Magneto + Shockwave
Shocker + Runamuck

Fastball Special

[Kalon]

That rocks.

[Cth42]

Grimlock as the Hulk.

[Dr. Caelus]

Monstructor as Galactus?

[Saber Prime]

Holy Transforming super heroes Batman, I'm not too sure abould that Colosus but the Wolverine looks great! It kinda helps that repaint that it allready looked like Wolverine anyway with the points on the head and the claws on the hands.

(this is the second time i have qouted you in 5 mins)

I Freaking love that idea-as soon i am graduated and i have some time to work on my new portfolio i am total doing some serious work on that concept-truely deadly, original and most importantly marketable!!!

[General Magnus]

Deptcharge - Punnisher

BW - X9 Ravage - Blackpantther

Tigerhawk - Storm?

Armada Starscream - Ronin

Armada Sideways as Ghost Rider. Hold on there's more I have an entire concept behind this...

This won't be doable as a toy without some remolding or actully setting it on fire.

Vehicle mode: The motorcycle has flames on it and is pure black. The mini-con pilot has the flaming head and is aready wearing a black suit in the cartoon.

Robot mode: Remember he's pure black, the mini-con with his suit off will be white, both of them, and will now be on fire.

I'd forgotten Sideways, that's a pretty smooth idea. All I'd been able to come up with that would potentially work were Wreck-Gar and Hightail/Lugnutz, none of which would look right in robot mode.

Running with the Headmaster idea, it doesn't have to be minicons - it could actually be Johnny Blaze, binary bonded for eternity to his demonic/unicronian Transformer motorcycle partner.

Here's a drawing I did of Classics Bumblebee as Kal-El (Superman) a while back: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/40182491/

I meant to do the rest of the League, too, but got sidetracked - the second one was going to be Excellion as Azrael (Batman), but if I ever pick it up again I may stick with Classics molds and go with Rodimus.

That has to be one of the strangest combinations I've ever seen. I'm astounded that you managed to make it all sound so perfectly reasonable. Nice art too.

Additionally, the reason I figured Marvel: Headmasters as opposed to DC: Headmasters, was not just because Marvel and TFs used to be connected. I also figured, why on earth would Superman binary bond himself to a TF? It would be a downgrade. Marvel superheroes tend to be at a lower powerlevel, so it would make more sense. But then, Thor wouldn't have any good reason to combine with anyone short of The Last Autobot. [Maybe Alpha Trion though... that would look cool...]


Oh, and:

Electro + Shrapnel
Mastermind, Mesmero, or Purpleman + Bombshell (which one?)

I also recant my Dr. Doom + Megatron. If it's going to be Captain America + Optimus Prime, it should logically be Redskull + Megatron. Dr. Doom probably wouldn't deign to combine with anyone; if he did... Jhiaxus?

As soon as you said Sideways as Ghost Rider I thought something pretty similar, but Sideways came with 2 minicon partners!

In the Alt. Mode, 1 'rider' could be Johnny Blaze, and the other could be Ghost Rider...

Then, depending on which one was the head of the Robot Mode, you could have a mode for both of them again...

(Only drawback that I can see, you'd have to have 2 sets of tires for the figure... 1 normal set, and 1 set 'on fire')

Sound promising?

Hmmm... Remold the tires so that red/orange spikes pop out of them, 'hypermode' style?

I gotta say, it's really well done. Great proportions, great coloring, great choice. If I can say just one tiny little thing... I can't help but notice that Kent has a Qwedge. Where I live that's what we call a Camel Toe...

I like that Bumblebee as Superman but I'd like it better if he had red shorts and the blue exstended to the uper arms. Allso I noticed there's no yellow on the figure. You used the black back color for the S insted of the yellow one.

I stayed away from yellow mostly because as a rubsign (which is what it's supposed to be) it wouldn't look right, IMO. I suppose you could argue that if he's got a Pretender shell he doesn't need a rubsign, except anyone who would cross his path when he's in robot mode would see the headlights and grill on his feet, the windshield on his belly and the doors on the forearms and probably figure out that he turns into some kind of small car, and the rubsign would be a giveaway. That's why I gave him a Supercharged configuration; the power-up process not only inverts his colors from blue-flames-on-red to red-flames-on-blue, it also activates the rubsign.

I had to go back and look at it again. I knew something besides the lack of yellow looked funny but I didn't notice the reversed colors till you pointed it out.

I went looking around on that site and found a few things I like.

Yeah, I like those. I seen the Super-Optimus one before, but that Venom-Unicron is new to me. I kinda like it.

[Saber Prime]

How about adding in a few Dark Horse characters to the mix.

Armada Wheeljack as Spawn

And what happens when the Mask get's into the hands of the Transformers? (assumeing the Mask will actully work despite the size of their big heads)

And what happens when the Mask get's into the hands of the Transformers? (assumeing the Mask will actully work despite the size of their big heads)

I think the real question would be whether or not it will work for a robot. As far as size goes, even in the comics the Mask has proven to be flexible as far as what size and shape of head it will fit on. The movie and the subsequent cartoon spinoff were pretty much the same way.

One of my friends told me he read a comic of "The Mask" where one of the villains who allso frequently appears in the cartoon series (but can't remember his name right now) got a hold of the Mask and tried to put it on but it wouldn't fit him. The character apperently is much larger in the comics than he is in the cartoon that's why I said it.

For some reason I feel there could be a connection between Rodimus Prime and Daredevil
