Added Astrotrain and Cyclonus to first post


1764
Astrotrain was made from Mirage's legs and head, Optimus arms, Skywarp wings and Thundercracker torso.
He's a bit squat next to Blitzwing. I used Mirage's legs because I considered his wheels to evoke his train mode.

1765
Cyclonus was made from Unicron combining with Thundercracker (just like the movie, ha! :D). Thundercracker legs, his tail fins are Cyclonus' arm fins, Unicron torso and arms, Hot Rod's fin for his back wings, Ramjet's head with the remains of Unicron's feet for his horns.
His horns are a bit more bendy than I would have liked but I think it fits in with the Robot Heroes "feel".

The Good

1789

Wheeljack made from Sunstreaker (with a modified head) and Bumblebee arms. His 'wings' are a Jazz car door cut in half and his gun is what remains of a Thundercracker cannon.
While painting it I realised the factory-applied Autobot symbol is off-centre.

The Bad

1787

Emirate Xaaron made from an Ironhide body (with a modified chest), Blaster arms and Megatron head.
I haven't painted his crown detail yet. This one isn't doing anything for me. The body's too thick, it's too hunched over, the gold is too streaky, nyarrrr :mad:

Altho, previewing this post, it doesn't look too bad in the pic. :confused:

The Ugly

1819 1820

While the Robot Heroes G1 Ravage is a nice figure, it's just too damn cute. All the other figures are running, flying, pointing, waving guns... and there's Ravage sitting in the corner with his tail up and a big grin.
No more!
I put G1 Ravage's head, tail and missiles on a ROTF Ravage (after carving the spikes off it).
It's a much more dynamic pose and I'm pretty pleased with it.
I have thought of doing a paw-swap, but I think that'd be too fiddly.

13th June 2010, 11:09 PM
Long time between drinks... work, family issues, lack of ideas...

Thanks to 1azrael1 for selling me the figs that comprised these.

Overlord
1853
Unicron legs, Machine Wars Tankor torso, Sunstreaker arms, Ultra Magnus head.
I think the two square panels on Tankor's torso emulate Overlord's powermasters, while Sunstreaker's shoulder missiles act as Overlord's. Ultra Magnus's head was the closest fit I could think of; I know the eyes are wrong but overall it was the closest fit.
I am thinking of carving up a Micromaster or Mini-con for his arm jet, but for the moment this is as far as I can go.

Rodimus Prime
1855
Optimus Prime spark attack hands on Hot Rod
Credit for this must go to guysipainted. I'm thinking of painting Hot Rod a deeper red to set up more of a difference from Hot Rod.

1854
What's that? He's behind me boys and girls?

28th January 2011, 02:50 PM
Wow... long time between drinks!

Anyway, to give me a break I made a Robot Heroes Motormaster.

Used an Ultra Magnus body with Grimlock's right hand and sword, plus Bumblebee's head. The hood was cut out from the base of a Woolworths black forest cake (hmmmmmmm)

It is an unusual pose but I think it makes a welcome change. He can be used to point out aerial foes.

Made from a super hero squad planet Hulk figure with the moustache and helmet made out of sculpy. I know the helmet isn't an exact match but it was the best I could do on such a small figure. And he should have a ball and chain, but I reckon I can get away with a sword.
I hadn't dullcoted him when I took the above pic, so he may look a bit shiny.

Try scouting around thrift/dollar shops. It could be with those selling plastic cheap animals section at kmart as well... that's for the octopus tentacles, same prolly for the diver helmet but yeah the size is gonna be tricky to match.

Oor since you've got sculpey why not sculpt away hehehe :D:D

Strap yourself in for the recipe: legs from a Spiderman Playmate Lizard figure. Torso from a Spiderman playmate Dr Octopus figure. I was going to try use his tentacles as Octopunch's, but found a "Miniature Morphers" octopus at Toyworld that was much better. Diving helmet hand-made from Sculpy.

Man these are always so good. I once attempted to create some using hobby clay, started on Roadbuster. His pieces are somewhere around... Really wished they continued with doing more.

Incidentally, I have a heap of spare robot heroes if you were looking to use to create more if you needed them?

yep, if this thread does anything it makes me wish they had continued the Robot Heroes line indefinitely.

I really loved them. Then they tried the tiny titans which I never managed to grab any of. I'm still missing just one RH which is the Sharkticon. I remember when the world was missing out on the Ricochet/Predaking pack, yet here we had a massive overabundance of it.

Quite a shopping list here:
Kickback legs
Perceptor torso
Kickback head
Tips from Kickback's antenna
Tail from movie Ravage (I think :o)
Arms from a movie Grindor, with the hands repositioned as well as the thumbs to make them more like claws.

The thread that would not die.... Drift is made out of Jazz and bits from Thundercracker and Cheetor.
The helmet is right but I don't like the face. I think because the original face is blue some of the details were skimped on.
I'm looking at using a tiny titans Blurr if I find one.

Impactor was made from a Shockwave body.
I swapped the arms over and cut and re-glued them so they'd be facing the right way.
The left hand is a spare from a Revoltech Megatron, the harpoon is from a Total Justice Aquaman.
The shoulder cannon is a cut-down Seeker cannon.
