Thought I'd share this proof of concept pic using a junker supreme Starscream Kristofferer kindly sold to me... can anyone guess who I'm trying to make?

Overlord
Yep, Overlord.
Good idea actually.
Well that was quick... yes it's Overlord.
Jet mode is worked out. Tank mode is going to have to be Cybertronian, and I've abandoned the base idea.
Well done Liegeprime
TIME WARRIOR! :p
fantastic idea snakey :P
Looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you, sound like a good idea though.
I can't wait for the "in Progress" updates.
Ooh! - This has quite a bit of potential Snakey, I wish you the best of luck mate and am very much looking forward to seeing what you achieve. ;):cool:
(The base-mode being sacrificed is perfectly acceptable IMO :))
Very cool idea
he's got legs... he knows how to use them

Nice start.
Very nice colours.
your ability to capitalize from junkers is amazing! that's very creative and clever!
HEY that was MY idea for Overlord!!!
You may have had the same idea..
Lol hahaha!Quote:

Plane mode. I swapped the tail fins around to differentiate him from Starscream.

(don't mind my hand)
Still working on torso mode - gotta add antenna to the helmet and I want to try something spiffy with the lights that normally flash in supreme Starscream's missile pods....
looking good!
loving the alt mode... nice work!
Very nice colours, can't wait to see how it looks when the legs are re-attached and for the otehr modes. Should be funky.
Could well be in the War/Fall of Cybertron toyline. Great colour too!
I did say the tank component was going to be Cybertronian...

I could close the feet together if I removed the toes, but then he'd have a gap in his feet in robot mode.

This is with the toes stuck together. I like to think of them either as a cannon or as a battering ram

And here it is as a gun emplacement.
I did think about buying a toy Dr Who sonic screwdriver and using that as a cannon - the scale would be right - but then thought do I want to be spending $30 on a custom for a mode that will rarely be used?
Alternative configuration ideas are welcome.
Watch this section of the boards for the full bot mode!
Here me out ok, I prefer the tank with the pointy-ness tucked away, in fact remove the pointy bits altogther (or do what you need to) so the feet close together in tank mode. Then drill a 5mm hole further back on the top of the tank and add a bfg that looks like a tank cannon and becomes a rifle in Overlord mode.
For a gun emplacement, either just angle the tank like in your picture or make the rifle attach to where the pointy bits are currently extended.
Thanks for the feedback Deonasis. I just remembered today I have bits left over from a Universe Dropshot, including his arm cannons, so I'll look into making use of those.
Ooh! - This 'In-Progress' stuff is great Snakey, it's coming together quite nicely indeed! :eek::cool:
Thanks Hursti
Further to the BFG question, during my lunch break I went to a $2 shop and picked up a toy gun I hope to modify into a tank weapon. Stay tuned.
Behold - the Deonasis cannon!

A $2 KO nerf gun with the handle cut off and the guts stripped out for a handle attachment. It's jammed inbetween the legs for tank mode, but it can be held in Overlord's hand in bot mode.
Wow! I'm impressed!
I was thinking that with the points extended you had a flying drone, but once you put that gun on top, with the points retracted there is a definite Tank vibe. loving the progress.
Totally agree man; Snakey this is really starting to look like one of your best customs mate, the anticipation is tangible! :eek::DQuote:
