This week I bring you a custom Transformers Prime Insecticon Shrapnel done in a concept earth-mode style. While the Insecticons in Transformers Prime were basically giant clones I figured taking on the three famous ones and giving them a unique style would work. The first of the bunch, Shrapnel, uses a Beat Hunters Bulkhead body, Power Core Bombshock head, and voyager Optimus hands. I removed some sculpt, reworked the bumper, and gave Shrapnel wing-swords and 'pincers' for the back wings. Wrapped up in a matte/gloss black shell he's ready to roll out, fly out, and gnaw out on his foes!

Always a feast for the eyes to look at your work, Jin!

I like how he still preserves a few vestiges of his insect mode, and they actually integrate with his vehicle mode.

Great job!

I really like that, this mold has been used for a lot of customs but you definitely have something special there.

Thanks! I'm going to do the other two using the BH Ratchet and Wheeljack molds.

Thanks! I'm going to do the other two using the BH Ratchet and Wheeljack molds.

I look forward to it, probably something the molds should have been used for in the first place.

Excellent paint job yet again
