i started this guy with the intention of making him into a "nemesis" version.half way through the styrene work i decided to go for show accuracy instead.this is the end result of pressing play/pause on youtube to feeze certain frames of his first reappearance.
some of the additions for more accuracy=
jet fins beside his head.
cab lights for truck mode.
smokestack tips have been drilled out with a 1/16" drillbit.
thrusters added to his rear end in alt mode.
armor chunks added into the top corners of his alt mode front windshields.
armor chunks made from styrene under his arm pits/rib cage areas.
chest claws removed and styrene was cut/fitted in place to try to evoke his animation model's armor/chest details.
one of a kind electronic gattling cannon.i started making this weapon to look like the one he uses but then i went a bit more and beefed it all up.if you push back on the lever at the rear you get machine gun sounds.
new battlemask made from styrene.
because of the size and added weight of his new bfg,both of his legs were split in half and filled with brass screws and hot glue,helping him do some cool poses even while holding the bfg.
