Did these for a contest where you had to make a Transformer in human form. So, what would a human version Transformer look like?
I wanted to make one that wasn't an obvious choice as the more famous characters. I found a lot of good candidates and ended up with Warpath. Making a human form out of him, I figured it had to be some kind of bazooka guy. Head: Copperhead v1 modified with Snow Serpent v1 mouthpiece (Now it's hard to see the difference, but that really is a Snow Serpent mouthpiece, cut from the original head and glued to the sanded Copperhead head) Torso: Lightfoot v1 Arms: Falcon v1 Waist: Recoil v1 Legs: Recoil v1 Bazooka: Downtown v1 mortar modified with toothpick and unknown monocle Missile case: Corps! For the bazooka I also wanted something original, not just an unmodified one. Downtown's mortar was an easy choice. This weapon quickly became one of my favorite custom weapons from my own creations. What I don't like about this one are the eyes. I repainted them for like four times, but it just wouldn't work.... :( Oh well. :-/ |

When I started browsing my mind for the contest, Soundwave was the third transformer that came to my mind, after Optimus Prime and that grey Decepticon leader. I watched the Transformers as a kid and remembered Soundwave as the tape robot with the cool voice. I still like him for that, one of the coolest toon-voices I've ever heard. But, now I needed to make him into a custom. Hmmm......
Head: Crimson Guard Immortal v1 helmet, Desert Scorpion v1 visor + Barbecue v1 mouthpiece Torso: B.A.T. v1 Arms: Bison v1 Waist: Barbecue v1 Legs: Barbecue v1 Backpack: Voltar v1 modified with Snow Serpent v1 rocket modified as shoulder cannon The CGI head came close, but the mouthpiece and the visor wasn't exactly Soundwave. Eventually the head consisted of parts from three different Joes. It was pretty challenging to glue them together and make it look like a head of one piece. I'm pretty satisfied about the outcome, looks very much like Soundwave, if I may say so. The torso is an old BAT torso, without the chest piece. As seen in the WIP-pic, I put some Greenstuff in there and pushed a cut-to-fit piece of plastic blister on top of it. Didn't work exactly like I planned, because there's a small hole uncovered. The shoulder cannon was difficult, especially the part drilling the holes in the right places. That was a failure, but there wasn't enough time to make a new one. I also would've made the "tape bird" and "tape jaguar" as seen in the cartoon if I hadn't run out of time. Let me know what you think! Tim 121RVC |
