Hey Cybertron, I have returned from hell aka my last University semester to present my latest custom,
Nautica!
So Nautica eh? This was probably the hardest custom to come up for ideas for. I started brainstorming in December and yeah its been, a few months. I hate cutting corners and making a custom that doesn’t transform, and do you honestly know how many Transformers transform into a submarine and has turbines? Exactly! Then it just hits me, Windblade! Okay, not exactly fitting the subscription, but she provides me with a great skeleton that I a) don’t have to destroy my Gundam collection for and b) was right under my nose the entire time! This is probably Hasbro's quickest route to make an official Nautica :3c
I tried to stay as true to the IDW design as possible; turbines, wrench, facemask, and nautical alt mode. I think I did it?
Robot Mode (Camera + natural lighting didn't get a chance to bring out the eyes, sorry) ):
w/ removable facemask via magnets!
w/ removable submarine backpack via magnets!
Pictures with friends!
Another lady decided to drop by
Nautical mode (Forget about the bird poop stain....)
PS - I would like to thank the dozen or so fanartists who helped guide this custom!
