(A custom from Brian/ Hawkeye/ The Pros from Dover/ Hivemind)








Many thanks to Brian (Hawkeye) for the original idea of putting a Roboskull head onto an AT-AT. Yeah, I ran with his idea a bit ;)

Here's some pics of a Roboskull with the Shadow Walker (the main reason why I used the landing pad)





DarkHorse:
And the wips -

















DarkHorse:
This was really grotty inside.

Eeeewwwwww that's gross lol.Seriously though it looks really good!
Retail-Viper:
Genius, sheer genius! seeing this has made my day!
liquid6:
that is one of the creepiest yet coolest f'n things ive ever seen!!!
DarkHorse:
Wow, thanks for the praise mate!
Much appreciated!
G.I. JOSEPH:
the skull on the front really hits it over the fence! awesome job!!
slang:
Damn, that is amazing!! Truly an original idea and so well executed!
fireflyguy:
That is.............AWESOME!!!

Very nice work.
KrymsynGardImmoral:
i was checking this out on FB and JCs, it really is a hell of a piece, and a major undertaking to try and combine the roboskull head and the AT AT head. It looks great, and the colors are really striking, but I keep thinking that landing pad looks a little awkward. It looks better with the roboskull docked on it, though.
grimdizel:
holy JEBUS!
5h4rK:
..I'm speechless!
kneroh:
Such uncontrollable bad-assery! Love this this man. You have the most inspiring Red Shadows collection, hands down.

And congrats on your TD being named TNI's custom of the week! I was drooling over that piece yesterday morning.
DarkHorse:
Thanks so much for all the kind words everyone.

kneroh - I'll post the Shadow Drome tomorrow. Was honoured that it got the CCotW.
Knighthawk:
was going to congratulate you on the TNI Cool Custom. I assume this has to be next week's, right?

Have enjoyed this everywhere I've seen it. Epic and bold.
wertdog91:
Only thing to say is, holy shit
orezona:
HOLY CARP!



Wickedly awesome. Hands down one of the more incredible customs I've seen. Makes me want to get some Red Shadows stuff!

+ eleventy brazillion points to you, sir
A.V.A.C.:
WOW!, Now that, is brutally wicked!
Beckley:
I am having trouble putting into words just how much I love this.
The creepiness factor
The landing pad on top, (genius)
A problem I sometimes see with taking Star Wars toys and customizing them with Action Force/GI Joe is that it still looks too much like Star Wars. You don't have that problem here, it looks like Red Shadow's Ultimate Weapon, and I love it.
Front page!
GI Flow:
Astonishing!
Gyre-Viper:
The Shadow Walker > Robo Skull


Until now... not much was cooler than a Robo Skull.

!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!! THIS is fantastic.

FRONT PAGE WORTHY INDEED.
nighthawk:
Wow! Looks really good!
DarkHorse:
Wow, blown away by all the positive responses!

Sorry for my noobishness, but what does being Front Paged entail?

couldnt have said it better myself. thsi is just evil beyond evil...and PERFECT!!! This SHOULD be onthe front page...(whispers softly) so should morph (shameless plug lol.)
Darkseid83:
That is sick, completely original idea and great execution. Awesome, actually,awesome doesnt do it justice and as of now there isnt a word to do it justice.
luigi:

CrimsonGuard101:
Strange yet intriguing...needs some red LED lights in those eyes though

When something in the forums gets that little extra recognition and ends up on the main page of Hisstank.com. It's like, some kind of special honor, or something ;)

I have to agree with everyone else though, this is definitely front page worthy material. Flawless execution.
bigbawsmcgraw:
hahahaha, im sorry to laugh but this is so fu@#ing awesome i cant think of anyone mental enough to have made this other than dark horse. you knocked it out the bloody park mate and hope (no DEMAND )that this be front paged
Mr.Kane:
Ooooh shit this is fantastic.
kalinferno:
This would definitely have me reaching for spare underwear if I saw it approaching!
Horde Prime:
Holy Crap...
lilmonster777:
My kid would love this!!
omega145:
Very nice custom job and work but to me the whole face and AT-AT combo doesnt work. For me, the best part about it is the pics of all the troops coming out of it, the platform and those 2 front gun turrets.
CookSux:
i must know where you got those working winces...
daremo:
Weird. I just looked up the definition of 'epic' and there was a picture of this.
sjames90:
That thing is massive and awesome.
Vanguard:
F'n Awesome!!!!! Red Shadows!!!!
Sgt Humpty:
I am without words...

This is...

Wow...
DarkHorse:
Thank so much again, guys. I'm honoured because I posted this before a few weeks back on one of the smaller Joe sites and all it got was criticism and negativity. It was just that one particular site though, everybody else liked it.

Seems to be a hit here - it's crashed my Photobucket bandwidth hahaha!
spot138:
All I see is Photobucket fliping me the bird and telling me to upgrade to pro
