With TFCon making Stronghold/FortMax from Universe Onslaught. I figured I'd try to make a Scorponok from Universe Hardhead. I created a recolored Stronghold stickersheet and a tail weapon. What do you think? Does this work or is it a stretch. Just ignore the Autobot symbols in vehicle mode. :D

I think the...ahem... shaft of it is. I got a bag of the stuff from Value Village. The gun tip is some random GiJoe part I had lying around.

how did you go about doing the sticker sheet? do you contact reprolables and just tell them the colors you want switched or what?

First, I scanned the stronghold sticker sheet, photoshopped the image colors and text, adjusted the image to the right scale, then printed the jpg out at Kinkos. You can fit like six of them on one A4 sized sheet.

To make the actually sticky part, there's a youtube video on how to make stickers, but here's the basic process in a nutshell. I took some multi purpose 2x4 Avery labels I got a Staples, put some double sided tape over a couple of them, roughly cut out the sticker image parts from the printed sheet and stuck them on to the double sided tape. I then took some clear packing tape and covered that all up. Last step is to cut the stickers out. There'll be a clear line from the scan. Now you just have to peel and stick. Results may very depending on the printer.

It's all good. I'll just put some Celine Dion on and slit my wrists now. :crying: But seriously, I prefer candor to smoke up the tailpipe any day of the week.

imho,it's a stretch,moreso the mold used,not because of your mods;).
bot mode looks completely plausable,but alt mode looks kinda off.what if you tried mistransforming him into some kind of cybertronian mode?(it might make the tail not stick out as much)
or find a energon scorponok donor bot for the main body instead?there's even a storage cavity/compartment that should fit the head inside him in alt mode.

nice switch up on the decals too btw:clapping:
