TFCC Metalhawk

[Autobotx23]

A commission for a buddy in Canada. No armor this time around, but here he is as he was mostly featured in the recent TFCC Comic. I was kindly allowed by TCracker here at TFW to copy his bash of Metalhawk he did a few months ago. Amazing piece. This is my version.

The head if from Cybertron Thundercracker and the Light Saber from both a Gundam Seed Destiny Hyper -Burst Destiny and Legend 1/100 kids. Then, a whole bunch of paint, and a few Gundam parts to round it out.

Wow!

This, and TCracker's, versions are the best custom Metalhawks out there, IMO.

Love the head from Cyb. T'Cracker as well as the gundam sword.

i honestly like the very "first" version done by gmfan.(mostly cause of the rear fin cannons he did:D).

dude!!
i love the paint works on this bot!
it has a nice clean yet grittyness to it.
totally digging the fadings you did on the wing edges too!!!:cool:

I agree I like the gritty-clean paint job.

So who is Metalhonk and why's he so popular?

[QuadESL63]

Awesome!

I have no idea who Metalhonk is :p

So GMFan was before all the TFW guys?

Yep, but X's is a little closer to TCarckers.
GMFan's (http://www.cybertron.ca/gallery/GMfan101Metalhawk?page=2)
TCarckers (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/292493-wip-metalhawk.html)
Either way, it's still a cool custom.

i dont like the front part of TCarckers, but i also have no idea who the character is so dont know if thats how the character looks or not. but the double nosecone part looks off to me.

like gmfans a lot better.

and autobotx23 yours is awesome. the paint looks amazing.
great work

Listen kiddies, this isn't a contest.

What's it matter how many other versions there are or who made 1 first. Customs should be appreciated for what they are, not de-preciated for a 'race'.

True........ BUT when someone posts "Best one out there!!" its going to get most people who love the first one to come out of the wood work. Ptitvite's Devastator is a very good example of this. ;)

Im not trying to thread jack so I will say, I love your Metalhawk E!!!!! :D

And that might be understandable if it was posted by the OP of the thread.

Chris has not made a fuss about it, so why make an issue?

[Autobotx23]

I never saw GMFan's Metalhawk, but I have to give him props. His definitely inspired Tcracker's, and T's inspired mine for sure.

I don't think there is anything wrong with folks doing different versions of the same bash. It's nice to see different takes on the same ideas. I definitely followed Tcrackers line of thought, but there are some differences as well.

I get bothered whne I see the same idea re-hashed over and over again without any changes (Ptivitastator, anyone?) but also doesn't mean they aren't still cool for other reasons.

Any who, I don't think my version is better than anyone else's. It;s just my version, that's all. I hope y'all like it. If you don't...well, you don't. Either way, I appreciate y'all looking.

[JLvatron]

Awesome!



I have no idea who Metalhonk is :p



TeeHee-ous! :D

MetalHonk must be the Honky Tonk Man as a Transformer. :D And I agree with you, he would be awesome.
Heck, if StarWars can have TF crossover toys, then I demand a MetalHonk!! :rant:
