@look-back-month-challenge Day 15: Have you ever made a custom?

Yes! I've only finished little things so far but I've got some bigger projects in the works that I'm too shy to show off progress photos for.

Maas Toys Rune had a cute face but I like my Glyphs with a visor and facemask, so I swapped her head with their Goldbug's and painted the (silver) mask with a layer of Modge Podge tinted orange to get something closer to her canon look.

I was originally planning to just scrape the blue paint off Flareup's eyes and let her rock non-canon orange lightpiping but I decided I actually like how blue stands out for her. So, I swapped the back of her head with the a broken Prime Arcee's.

For Slipstream and Lifeline, I took their heads apart and did scrape off the paint from their eyes, then painted their clear plastic with more tinted Modge Podge.

T30 Arcee always seemed to me like she was missing a little something, so I gave her a little something. I added black to her elbows, her heels, her belly and her crotch and added the red that she always should've had on her belly buttons (which I realize now is kinda hard to see here but trust me). I also got rid of the ridges in her hands so she can hold her accessories properly.

Kingdom Blackarachnia has been repainted to resemble the cancelled Halloween Horrorcon deco. She's sporting Buzzworthy Blackarachnia's head here because I'm struggling to get the Kingdom head to look the way I want. In hindsight, maybe I should've just painted it and called it a day, lol. I'm getting there, though, I'm getting there!

Found some scuffed as hell Prime toys at a thrift store, they seem like McDonald's or Burgerking toys maybe?? They have lightpiping so that's kinda neat.

Excited to report I got my headphone monitoring system working downstairs in the studio tonight

The monitor mixers let someone plug headphones in and change the volume/panning/eq of 16 different channels to taste.. i overcomplicated it by running the 16 interface output channels from the computer through a pair of avb streams to a second avb box mounted in the rack and then lightpipe optical out from there to the ultranet input box below it and I spent an hour squinting at routing matrices but I figured it out I think — so far I have the stereo output from the computer locked to channels 15 and 16, and 1-14 can be routed from the daw for each session

anyway i have a good feeling about it

[dustbunny105]

Just realized I never showed off my customs here! Flareup's new lightpiping comes courtesy of swapping the back of her head with a junker Prime Arcee's. Slipstream's and Lifeline's come from scraping the paint off their eyes and coating their clear plastic in Mod Podge dyed with food coloring. Mass Toys Rune's head was swapped with Maas Toys Gold Skiff's and then the mask was also coated with a couple layers of colored Mod Podge. I'll probably scrape that of at some point and use actual paint but, y'know, the Mod Podge was already out and I thought the transparent layers would look neat over the silver-- and it does! She looks so much more properly Glyph now~

All pretty minor stuff, I know, but I'm happy with the results and I'm looking forward to trying some more advanced alterations soon!

Gonna do a lil' mini review for some of the bots I got recently, so here goes...

First off, Velocitron Scourge. Very, very, very nice figure, I love his colours, his lightpiping is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and hes an overall solid figure!

My only niggle is his gas tanks, which flip out from his thighs. After siege optimus' leg transformation, earthrise, kingdom, and legacies primes have fallen short in my opinion.

Trailer is decent, not much interest in that, but his sword and axe are cool.

8/10

Next up, we got Legacy Tarantulas. A cool, creepy dude, who looks absolutely epic. I love his colours, and his transformation is chef's kiss.

It might just be me, but i also feel like his head is just sliiiiiightly too big, in comparison with the other beast deluxes.

Love his grapple gun, and his pizza slicer, which is a nice reference to his transmetal form

9/10

Number three, SS86 Sludge. Hes a big boi. A very big boi. Quite possibly the biggest boi. And hes amazing! Transformation is brilliant, pretty much nowhere near what i initially expected, with so many clever little bits, hes just a joy to have, and he looks very good next to my grimlock (still need Sla... Slug. Heh. )

Hes got a big blaster that looks pretty good, but i have no idea what his gun is supposed to look like, so i dont know how accurate it is.

9/10

Velocitron Override/Nitro Convoy next. Shes ace. Ive watched the unicron trilogy once when i was younger and dont remember much, only that everyone says its terrible, which im choosing to ignore. However, i absolutely love the designs, and override is a shining example of how good they are. I love her epic shins, her head aculpt is noice, and i love the new design of her gun, and that it can hold one of the old cyber planet keys!

I do worry about her translucent red chest and the hinge its on, but theres been no signs of stress yet.

10/10

Heres the problem child though... Buzzworthy Terrorsaur... Honestly, I ordered him on a whim, and then immediately regretted it, and found out that you can't cancel an order on pulse unless you contact customer service, who got back to me after it had been dispatched and couldnt do anything. I decided to keep him, because the golden disk one costs more than I'm worth. Objectively, a very cool toy. Brilliant colours, nice mould, all that. The problem is that he's not MY terrorsaur, if you get what I mean. I never had the original toy, my only experience with him is the show, who had a completely different colour scheme. However, hes growing on me.

Also, his ankle vall joints are quite loose.

6/10

Most recent acquisition, today actually, is Legacy Blitzwing. Very mixed bag honestly, i love his bot mode, it looks brilliant, but the other two are slightly lacking.

Out of his alt modes, the tank is easily better. Thick, chonky, and bigg. Very nice. Only complaint is the cockpit on the front, which i feel couldve been covered up with some panels flipping in off the shoulders.

But the jet... Ehhhhhh... It wouldve been so much better with ough the sides of the tank just hanging off the underside. But as usual, one of the modes of a triple changer has to take the fall, and the jet mode was it. At least it wasnt the whole figure, like the t30 version!

Guns are cool, so is the sword, and i couldnt care less about the big hands. They went into the parts draw immediately.

7/10

I saved the best til last, Velocitron Cosmos. I love him. So much. Hes my chonky lil man. I love the colours proportions, headsculpt, even his lil flag and gun are brilliant. Hes definitely worth the arm and leg i paid for him, and i would do it again. Was it a bit much? Yes. Am i happy with my purchase? Hell to the yes.

His UFO/landmine/doorbell/boob mode is brilliant too, the gaps bother me nowhere near as much as i thought they would, and i love how the head flips into his chest, rather than messing about trying to pull the head from a tiny hole.

10000000000/10

Well, those are some of the bots I've bought recently, I'll probably post a full shelves pic soon, but theyre all messy at the moment, because when i mess with them, i dont always put them back in their pose.

Should be getting elita 1 next week, and I have all of wave 3 preordered (bar bombburst/blood) and flamewar too, so I'll post shots of them when they arrive.

Conkerfrog, out.
