Custom MP Ultra Magnus - Upgrade

[kelvinchang99]

Hi guys,

Some of you may remember that I started this project about a year ago. Although at the time, I had an aim to make this transformable, I opted to go for a toon likeness and lost the transformability. Sorry.. hehe...

Okay, so here are some pics:

Looks sweet as bro ... Would not like to be under one of those staunch legs if he stepped on me ... Like the way u have used 2 trailers to pull this off :) Keep up the good work :cool:

[kelvinchang99]

Thanks. I am growing to like this more and more. Although not transformable, I think I have made this close to the toon look how I imagine it to be.

I shall keep it up.. hehe MP Perceptor is the next to complete. Hopefully, this weekend. That as you saw from previous threads is getting an upgrade also and will be transformable.

Hah, I think one of those legs was my old G1 Ultra Magnus. Glad he's been put to good use :)

Nice work KC

[bruticus]

haha... then i guess the other leg must be my old UM trailer then?

nice dude.
only comment would be that the wheels on his feet are so pewny and out of scale now.

You might as well rip them out if hes not going to be transformable anyways...

btw, i'm not sure if i asked you this already, but where did you get the UM head from?

Agree about the wheels
But the more i look at this the more i like it! it just gets better every time you look.
Also are theose G1 combiner feet on his legs? it a great idea, makes a good detail point

Oilspill and Bruticus, I think you are right regarding those trailers... hehehe... Sorry, I hope you didnt mind since they were junkers. Bruticus, the head is a scuplt head that I got when I was in Singapore through this guy that does sculpting... :) I have a few spare heads if you are interested. But they do cost around $27 a piece.. expensive due to the conversion rate at the time.

About the wheels.. I will have to make mods to the leg if we are to install larger wheels. I will see what I can do but working on completing another figure now... Will have it completed this weekend I reckon.. may even have shots tonight of the WIP. Its MP Perceptor that is transformable. I posted one before but its finishing that one off.

Rampagess... well spoted. They are combiner feet from Superion that I recently got from Jgon. Dont worry, they were KO feet.

Thanks for the comments y'all.

Okay.. so, Wheeljack suggested I should set up a photoshoot area for the customs.

These photos were shot tonight. Let me know what you guys think.
