Metroplex - Robot Mode by AsswhompSupreme on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

A 'repaint' I did using Instructions for Armada Overload downloaded from Hasbro's official Transformers website, [link]

Continuing my seemingly never-ending slew of WIP/Incomplete/Not-Deemed-Worthy-For-Pub lic-Viewing, this is another of the few I am glad to classify under “Why the hell didn’t I finish this before?” I don’t remember where the idea for this one came, probably from when I was trying to think of things to use the Overload mold for. It’s one of my favorite Armada molds, and despite being a brick and having an awkward vehicle mode, it is just one of the coolest robot modes EVER. Well, I decided to repaint him into Metroplex. I’ve never owned a G1 Metroplex but I always thought it was a badass toy, and while I know it’ll NEVER get re-released in the US (Hasbro said as much themselves), I do have some pretty high hopes for the TF: Cybertron Metroplex that’s going to be coming out in the future. And until then, this make-believe repaint will just have to do, heh. I did this guys robot mode on a whim a loooong time ago and never did the corresponding vehicle mode until today. Now he’s finished and I’m a little more happy with him then I would have thought. I think his ‘Bot mode seriously does the big guy justice, and his vehicle mode is a decent enough (at least in principal) homage to his giant, gun riddled battle platform mode.

His Minicon, if you hadn’t guessed, would be Scamper, the little black car TF (and precursor to the Spy-Changers) that came with the original Metroplex.
