POW!

I got Generations Warpath today!
Quit happy with this guy, they managed to perfectly capture the essence of G1 and added that Generations flavor.



We've already seen the instruction scans showing the new head (presumably giving us Hardhead), but so help me there better be a little something like *this* in the works.


C'mon Hasbro, make me happier!

Overloaded

Remember Overload?

He was a nifty little MicroMaster with a minibase.

He was also in Armada.

How can you deny that's little Overload toting around a big 'ole box of destruction?

And yes, the name was applied to a Green Universe Scattorshot repaint... which should have been called Flak.. but that was used for the Botcon repaint... ugh, anyway...

I'd love to see Overload pulled into the Classics-verse line in yet another Two-Pack idea. With Hasbro's trend of scaling up Minibots (i.e Countdown, Movie repainted yellow Mudflap, who's a dead ringer for the Micromaster Erector) I think it'd be pretty neat.

Get ready to rumble

Just finished a couple more GoBot conversions that I think Hasbro refuses to acknowledge.
The GoBot Boomers, Blast the Renegade(blue), and Rumble the Guardian(gray).

These were two large six-wheeled rolling armored vehicles that actually made it into the cartoon (Rumble anyway) albeit he was never referred to by name, nor was it confirmed whether or not he/it was sentient, as he/it usually just served as a transport for Nick and A.J.
When the second wave of Classics hit, I remember thinking of these two Boomers the instant pictures of Classics Onslaught were leaked.

I mean, just look at them, it's as if there is secretly a GoBot fan working at Hasbro and manages to slip one of these babies in under the radar just to appease lunatics like myself.
So here are two repaints into characters we'll probably never ever see, the GopBot Boomers.  Credit for the base pictures goes to Seibertron.com.
I took the liberty of changing Rumble's name to Rumbler, just beacause I can hear the rabble rabble of TF fanboys who can't accept there being another 'Rumble' being in existence. That and I actually like the sound of Rumbler better, I think it plays better in thinking of what this guy is and what he does.

 

And Blast:

I didn't come up with bios for these two just because I'm not sure if they're supposed to have personalities or not. maybe I'll come up with something at a later date.

More GoBots, the ideas keep coming!

Just a quickie post, I've been poking around with Photoshop and worked out a rough draft of what I think would be a very nice upgrade for our beloved Cop-Tor. Cybertron's Evac mold lends itself VERY nicely to being upgraded into Cop-Tor in my opinion, a little head altering and new color-scheme, and wallah!

Next on the customizing slab is none other than Rest-Q, our strung-out medi-bot. My thoughts on him, instead of going with the typical First Aid from Cybertron or Ratchet recolor from Classics (who really would only need a head remold to pass for Rest-Q, way too easy) let's take a more creative route. Cybertron Defense Hot Shot!
A quickie bio:
With the Guardian/Renegade battle for Gobotron in full swing thanks to recent technological upgrades, Rest-Q began to feel as though he should be contributing more to the anti-Renegade movement in a more forceful capacity. He upgraded himself with a body he felt was more suited for battle while integrating his vast array of medical equipment into a number of advanced weapon systems. Though Rest-Q's intentions were noble, there is no getting around the fact that he's a terrible soldier, with the highest count of friendly fire Leader-1 has ever seen. For Rest-Q's own safety-and the safety of the other Guardians, Leader-1 spent a lot of time convincing Rest-Q that while he's a very important part of the ongoing battle, he better serves their cause by being what he is; a medic. As not to completely discourage Rest-Q, Leader-1 will sometimes send him onto the battlefield if victory is assured for a (pardon the pun) rescue mission to retrieve a fallen comrade. This keeps Rest-Q's spirits up and makes him feel like a much more useful member of the Guardian cause.

Rest-Q's weapon systems mostly consist of amped up medical devices. He has several precision-point laser canons nestled within his legs and shoulder ports and carries a high frequency vibro-energy scalpel for emergency amputations. In vehicle mode he weilds dual sonic anesthetic emitters, able to completely numb a targeted limb or send a GoBot into a deep sleep. This of course, caused many problems for Guardians standing too close to Rest-Q on the battlefield. His armor plating allows him the extra protection needed to brave a firefight to reach a fallen ally.
