While making Megaplex I noticed Ptero's head looked like Emirate Xaaron. Recently I got a TR Perceptor from the excellent Llamatron and got to repainting and headswapping. The only mod needed was to remove Percy's scope.

According to TFwiki Emirate's alt mode is a "small combat tank" so here it is:

Here's the slightly repainted Titan Master who I call Xaaron

Did you have any issues with the plastic? I was worried that TR Perceptor was mostly made of unpaintable plastic.

I didn't encounter any unusual issues. There were a few parts on the inside I think where the paint "beaded" but a couple of more coats fixed it. I use mainly water based paints now if that has any bearing on it

Wow! That's great!

That first image reminded immediately of Xaaron as he appears in Lost Light

Once again, a fantastic custom! I'm not overly familiar with the character but the bot mode seems very familiar in those colours with that face.

Can't say I know much of the comics, but does look quite awesome
