The title is T.A.O.W.A.R. #The Adventures of W. and Raider#. While it's a Transformers website, I write the story as if the cast are human fans and that's where Joes come in. The world is pretty much a crossover gone wild. Transformers, GI Joe, Ninja Turtles, GoBot, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, Power Rangers, Smurfs, and even some real people. In fact, the real people is the reason I've never posted it here. The "W." in the title is George W. Bush. Since I know the rules say "No Political Discussion at all," I've never posted it. I've been trying to write him out, but got stuck in a plotline. Anyways, Tales of the Time Thief #hereby TTT# is a two part spin-off that has no political anything in it. If you guys want to see it, I'm willing to post it if someone points me to the right sub-forum. The plot of TTT is centered around Theif, a time traveler #of course#. She travels with Ceus #pronounced "Say-us"#, a Transformer cycle. Ceus will not be shown here as she's just a Movie Arcee #the first movie# and not a custom #yet#. Along with a small mage, Empp #pronounced like "Imp"#, these three go around time stealing things. Now finally to the customs. First up... Thief v1: Thief is a your run of the mill female lead. Her past is unknown, but it's believe she comes from the distant past. how or why she's here is still unknown #mostly because I make it up as I go#. Anyways, like all TAOWAR characters, she can use a Kai Blast #anime-ish type attack#. her's is Seal/Release. With a clap of her hands, she can open a pocket dimension where she stores weapons and stolen items. Version 1 of Thief was used in an arc called "Return to the White House." She and Ceus appear in Part I & II. Thief runs into my character, Blade Raider #of course#, after stealing a M.A.R.S. briefcase with Time Lord tech in it. After a few battles including a Team Rocket parody, she ends up leaving the case with me and her a Ceus leave with a Back to the Future time traveling bit. TTT picks up right after that. Anyways, I loved the design. MicroMen/Ladies are great figures...at first. The joints of these figures just don't hold up after about a month or two. By the time I was done with Return to the White House, Thief could barely stand. In fact, after those 2 pictures above she couldn't hold a pose anymore. So yeah, this Thief is retired. Parts: Head - VvV Jinx, Top/Gloves/Shorts/Shoes - ML-05 Microlady Wega #Black, M#, Everything else - ML-17 Microlady Colline #Flesh, M#, Cloth Goods Cape - Space Usagi. EDIT: Btw, just because the "Barechested GI Joes?" reminded me, there is a scene where she doesn't have her top on. It's from a wound and for comedic effect, but it's worth noting that the Colline used in this custom has all body parts casted in flesh tone plastic, thus I could have made her nude anytime. I asure you that I did it for the articulation though :P Empp. Empp is an ass. He hates everyone except Thief. Some years ago, he was charged with protecting Thief. He comes from a time before Kai Blasts and is a mage of old #ala Merlin#. His incarnations are spoken in Latin and written in Predacon #because it's an awesome font#. If you can't tell, he's very short. He's been known to ride on Thief's shoulder. Anyways, his the smallest custom I've made. Originally, I used a Mini Goldar from Power Rangers as his toy. However, Goldar only had a single hip joint. That doesn't cut it. Mini Mutants Shredder had shoulders and I had an extra, so Empp lost his wings and gained some spikes. I'm pretty happy with him. Just wish I could make him float :P Last edited by Blade Raider; 12-07-2012 at 05:04 PM.. |

Thief v2:
The new Thief. I figured this one should be fully clothed since v1 shows up in summer and v2 goes to the arctic. Anyways, I'm very happy and disppointed at the same time. She looks great, but she's 90% VvV Jinx and loses a lot of articulation. I want her in a 25th style body, but that's for the next post. Anyways, VvV Jinx is one of my favorite female bodies. To make her look different, I added a cloth goods "dress" made from a Batman cape (which I'm now out of). Thinking I can combine Bombstrike's upper arms with a 25th's lower arms to give her wrists, but I haven't tried that yet Parts: Hips - Bombstrike, Everything else - VvV Jinx, Cloth Goods "Dress" - Batman cape, Cloth Goods Cape - Space Usagi. Banrai - see above.

Last two photos of Thief v2...
In the fight picture, she's beating my hero custom up. Her Released weapon is Blazing Swords (a Voltron reference). The final picture is of another one of her Releases, Banrai. Banrai is named after a weapon from Ninja Turtles (Raph's weapon in the recent "Lost Season"). It means Second Blade. The idea is it's a kusarigama with two kamas instead of a weight at the other end. It doesn't work that way in real life, but it's cool to look at. The sickles are from the Ninja Battles set and the chain from a Wolfwood figure (from Trigun). It's the only custom weapon I have for her right now.

Now for my favoite of the set.
Scar Forte, The Enneagon Scar Forte is a character with a long history for me. He was a character I created when I was young. I believe he was my second original character after Blade Raider. He was originally a HEAT Viper (I didn't know at the time that it was called a HEAT Viper). He is and always has been my mystery character that knows way more then he's telling. Forte is Latin for stong and Enneagon is Greek for nine. This is the 3rd or 4 Scar I've created and the first to not be a background hero. Instead, he's a bounty hunter who has been employed by Destro to catch Thief. He has a, currently un-named, horse that I talk about below. My very first 25th custom (though I've done many others). I ended up with a Red Ninja I didn't plan to own. I had a handful of Cobra Troopers. One head switch later and Scar was born. The hat finished the look. I was tired of the same old ninjas and decided to make him a "ninja" gunslinger. I decked him in guns until I reached 9 guns and his hand axe. He has two 45s on his hip holsters. A revolver under his belt buckle. Another handgun under his belt (next to his axe). Yet another handgun on his chest holster. A fictional hand tommy gun that can be stored on his horse's harness. A huge machine, blaster, and missile launcher that's strapped to his back. Lastly, he has 2 more guns in his briefcase. Their his secret weapons, so I'm not showing them :P His horse was added later because I needed a companion that wouldn't make him talk much, but not make him completely alone. The horse is Indy's and I don't have an extra, so it's unmoded aside from the twist tie to hold the briefcase on. Parts: Head - Cobra Trooper, Body - Red Ninja, Feet - one of the "greenshirts" (not sure which), Hat - Hong Kong Elizabeth Swann (wish I had 5+ more of her hat and gear), Belt - Spy Troops Destro, Chest holster - a comic 2-pack Luke Skywalker, Briefcase - Marauder Gun Runners, Axe - MSIA Zaku II (red), Guns - All over the place (I'm still not even sure on a few).

Finally, I'm working on making Thief v3. The body is done. The head, on the other hand is giving me trouble. I'm a huge fan on the VvV Jinx head (asain+ponytail=me drooling) so I'm trying to keep it if I can. Problem is, it seems underscale for 25th/ROC bodies. Here is my test shot on Lady Jaye's body (the custom body is RA Scarlett with Helix legs and other mods). To make it work with the custom body, I'll have to cut the neck some, so I want to make sure it will work first.
I feel there's something not right (aside from the colors), but I'm just not sure what. It might just be from ROC throwing my sence of proportions. What does the Hisstank members think? Too small to work? Just right? If it doesn't work, I guess it's back the the drawing board. Why are good asain heads so hard to find in ball jointed form? The only one I know is Bultar Swan and that's reserved for my Karai custom.

Holy crap, I'm talking to my own abbreviations! lol
Glad someone likes the name Oh, and forgot one photo. For TTT, I made a teaser wallpaper. This was the final use of the v1 Thief. Just wish I still had the core files to edit out the "Coming Soon".
