custom classics Brawn

[snaketales]

First off, this is a parts-former. I couldn't figure out how to make the roof and chest one piece. I've seen a really good custom that did manage that, but ir proved beyond me.

Brawn was made from a classics Hound plus the roof from a ROTF Ratchet (and some pieces of icecream container) for vehicle mode, and Cyclonus' head plus a G1 jumpstarter's chest (I forget which one).







In vehicle mode the roof is held in place by the little black tabs that the Hound figure used to hold Ravage. I'm not too happy with it but it's the best I could do with the materials at hand. It's mostly going to be in bot mode anyway.







I cut the jumpstarter chest to fit snugly into the gap between his shoulders. His waist piece secures it in place.

EDIT: forgot to mention his head is held on by the crotch of a junker legends Evac! Evac's leg ball joints were almost an exact fit for the head's socket.

The only thing i don't like is face. its a bit hollow on the sides. Is this possible to make Brawn without the G1 parts? I just saw G1 Brawn, ahahahahahahaha. So glad you made a version like the cartoon. see, http://www.flickr.com/photos/kranix/...6872/lightbox/
I also feel that his a bit beefy for my tastes. Maybe i just can't shake that G1 toy image! He was one of my first bots way back when.

Very nice. It's how I picture Brawn, being the mini beefcake that he is.

Great job.

Whilst I'm plenty happy with my Classics/Universe 2.0 Legends Brawn, that is an incredibly well executed Custom Deluxe! - As always Snakey.

That is brilliant work. He's short, stocky and powerful and "reads" as Brawn straight away. The roof looks great in vehicle mode, too. Aslo, great idea to use a Jumpstarter chest. It really works.

^This is exactly what I say too.

God bless Titans Return.
I pulled the head connection port out of TR Brawn's vehicle, and it just happened to be big enough to jam into the chest piece. The only modding needed was to cut down the handle on the head port piece.
