Autobot Peacekeeper

PEACEKEEPER

Function: Autobot Interceptor
Transformation: CF-105 Avro Arrow
Motto: Peace, Order, and Good Government

Peacekeeper would prefer to use his fighting and negotiating skills to promote peace, but there are few opportunities in the Great War. He sometimes intervenes in other conflicts, trying to help others put aside their differences and find common ground. However, the Autobot leadership often calls upon Peacekeeper to protect installations from Decepticon air raids. Recognising the implacable threat of the Decepticons, Peacekeeper is always ready to respond.

When circumstances permit, Peacekeeper carries a special non-lethal weapon to immobilise his foes. It is an extending arm with a grabbing claw. Other Autobots often refer to it as the ‘long arm of the law’, but Peacekeeper likes to think of it as the Velvet Glove. Wheeljack, who invented the device, calls it a ‘CApturing, Neutralising And Disabling Armament system, or CANADARM for short.

The Arrow is a very graceful aircraft with a long slim fuselage and large wings. In making this, I particularly aimed to keep elegance of that narrow fuselage. To achieve the former, I fitted shoulders from a Star Wars Crossover Obiwan Kenobi (ROTS Starfighter), so that the shoulders would move above the body in the fighter mode. The Autobot symbol on the chest lies between two red rectangles, emulating the proportions of the Canadian Flag. The figure is based on a 1:72 scale model kit of an Avro Arrow, and also uses parts from Cybertron Thundercracker, G1 Protectobot Hotspot, Universe Acid Storm, Energon Inferno, Roadbot Hummer H2, and Marvel Crossover Iron Man (Jet Fighter). The stand is from a different aircraft model kit. The CANADARM is simply composed of Neoshifter segments.

[Historical note: ‘Velvet Glove’ is a Canadian air-to-air missile system intended for the Avro CF-100, but was cancelled before entering service.]

Re: Autobot Peacekeeper

Pretty cool. It looks very G1 in plane mode. Including the Canadarm is slick.
