Looking goooooood. Those are some nice crisp colours and are spot on for Tankor.

I have to say too, it's interesting what kind of a difference having a desk lamp as you work makes.

Helps bring out where you need an extra coat of paint when normal light won't.

Looks awesome, very nice colors Gen!

Mine turned out darker than I wanted but once in bright light it becomes much light, most likely due to the fact that I mixed 2 colors

^Yes I use 2 lamps a halogen and fluorescent desk lamp really does help.

Prologue:

Little is known about this Beast Machine Vehicon, it was believed he was just a reformatted drone who became a Maximal until recent archive files turned up from an old data disk uncovered in the remains of the Beast Machines Megatron’s old command station
Known archive records indicated that he was a Maximal, and a Wrecker and sent with a group on a great mission by the Oracle.
But, this was not the first time he had met the Oracle.........


Story
Just after the Maximals arrived on the Cybertron and broke into the Archives Megatron created three generals, it is believed or so the data seems to have been decrypted that Megatron created him soon after he was to be fourth and least known Vehicon General named "Diggore". (As the data disk was quite corrupted and some Nano blocks of missing data, this fact is vague and has caused many Maximal scholars to still dismiss and argue this)
His uncanny ability at demolitions and to burrow and dig made him excellent at what he did, he would also follow orders without a flicker of hesitation in his spark, or so Megatron had thought.
Megatron knew he would be ideal to irradiate all the recent discovered organics, under the surface of Cybertron. Due to the fact that he had been off-line for Eons his circuits had developed a negative attitude and suffered poor current flow (In human terms, a negative attitude or depression) this quickly turned to anger and defiance toward Megatron and his eradication of organics.
Megatron had put him in charge of all moles and sent him off on a mission to find any organics left under the metal crust of Cybertron. It was during this mission that he bored his way through a week wall of rock which collapsed into a deep open chasm, he transformed and tried to grab hold to stop from falling, he failed. He tumbled hundreds of feet down smashing down onto what seemed like a very hard ledge, this jarred his spark chamber loose and severed his connection/control with Megatron. He laid there offline for cycles in a sort of spark meditated state, unaware of his surroundings or where he was, he eventually gained motor control of his servos and started to move and drag himself along this smooth ledge towards this bright circular light. As he reached the light the Oracle sensed his true nature and a receptive spark, she opened his optics to a techno-organic Cybertron and reformatted him into MOL a Maximal and a future Wrecker.
As he never returned from his mission and Megatron was not able to track him anymore due to the reformatting, he was logged in as lost or defragged, and Megatron took back over control of the MOLES





Epilogue:

After cycles of burrowing and fighting alone, he found the Maximals and they convinced him to join their cause, he would end up fighting beside Optimus Primal and Nightscream.



Pics will be a few days still

So I think Tankor's pretty much done!

I'll have to do some test transformations and stuff, and do some fine-tuning with touchups, but he's pretty much done.

Dude! That mold works SO well! great stuff!

[General Tekno]

We're putting these into the TFcon charity auction, actually. Removes the complicated step of actually getting the auction up, plus then people get to see what they're bidding on.
