Rot is by far the coolest, maybe he discovered the planet from the episode cosmic rust

It could just be me, but is there a bit of Dalek inspiration in Torment - what with the black, the gold balls, and the cannon.  :hmm

Nice...but to be honest, I think Malice's a bit...well...lightly armed. Yes, shoulder cannons own, but the most heavily armed'll have to do a pretty good job of things...

 

Now, for the good news. These Sweeps rawk out loud. I espeially like Macabre and Discord. The colours are pretty snazzy, and I can understand why Macabre takes such delight in his job(judging from that smirk on his face)

 

Also, back on Malice Is it me, or does that beard of his make him look like Scourge?

Well now. Due to the comments I have recieved so far, and through working on Discord, I realised that my Sweep models have heads that were just a little too small for their bodies. So I spent the last half a day going through them all and resizing them all. The results are now on display above, with some models recieving a bit of tweeking as well. Malice now has six belly guns and two wist launchers in addition to his shoulder and helmet guns.

 

 

Redesigner: Quite right on the weapons; see above  :thumb And yes, he has inherited Scourge's facial features. Someone had to!

 

Oggtimus: Dalek inspiration? Now I look at him, I suppose he does have something of the Dalek Supreme about him... except that those aren't hemispheres, they're spikes! :thumb

 

 

Storm: Now there's an idea...I'll have to think about it...

 

 

And now, to continue:

 

Strife:

 

To say that Strife is the least dangerous of the High Hunt is like saying that a viper is less dangerous than a piranha. True, she is physically the weakest, lacking the elaborate weapons systems of her comrades. But her other abilities make her uniquely powerful. Strife is precognitive. She can sense how events now will affect the shape of the future. Thus, she can be in exactly the right place to kill an enemy before they realise that they will be moving there. Though keeping track of many unfolding futures puts her under great strain, she can coordinate the Hunt so that they can all second guess and overwhelm those they are fighting. Because of these skills, Strife has no need for a normal set of sensors – she is blind.

 

 

You know...with the way you're doing these Sweeps, I keep expecing one in a red/tan or red/orange colour scheme, armed with an energy sword of some sort. (radar dish/straw hat optional, of course. :P)

 

Joke aside, I'm liking Strife so far. Full-weapon Malice is...very impressive. With a diffrent colour scheme, he could be SOS(Scourge on Steroids).

 

Keep rocking on. I'm looking forward to these guys.

ta cosmic rust!

Not quite a sword, Redesigner, but blades...

 

 

Now, as you will have noted, Malice is described as the second most heavily armed of the High Hunt. Well here's the first most...

 

 

Toil:

 

The most heavily armed of the High Hunt; Toil has a playful, fun loving, almost childlike personality. What he finds ‘fun’ is chaos and carnage. He will ghost over a battlefield, unleashing missiles, disruptor waves, laser blasts and plasma bolts, toying with his opponents until they are so much scrap. No form of conscience troubles him. He is just as happy squashing bugs as he is blowing a flight of star-fighters to atoms. The only thing that hints at some kind of deeper personality is when Strife is threatened. Toil seems to have appointed himself as the precog’s champion: he would fight to the death for her and will allow no danger or insult to touch her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Toil is the final member of the High Hunt. For now...

 

Expect the next update in this thread to be a redesigned version of their commander: The Primary Herald itself, NEMESIS!

Circumstances have made a liar of me again!

 

When Elgoodo rendered the High Hunt in his far superior style, he added three new memebers, Carnage, Rage and Turmoil, meaning that the Sweep model had to be de-mothballed and rebuilt three more times!

 

He left the bios to me, so here they are (and I hope he likes them!):

 

Carnage:

 

Carnage shares many of Torment’s traits. She is silent, remorseless and fascinated with death. But it her, it is not the pain of dying but rather the variety. From the painlessness of a blade through the spark to the agony of being torn limb from limb, Carnage views each method of killing as a snapshot of perfection. She actively seeks new and inventive ways to take life, a ‘pastime’ aided in no small way by her inbuilt sensor disruptors and wrist-mounted energo-cutless.

 

 

 

 

Rage:

 

Her name, quite simply, says it all. Her anger can be triggered by anything. A word, a movement, a look – that is all it takes to awaken her near unlimited wrath. And when she is angry, things die. Macabre often orders her into battle last, giving her fury time to grow. And when Rage is unleashed, anything within range of her super heated talons is likely to be sliced, diced, gutted and pulverised. Outside of combat, she will continue her destructive tantrums, beating hole in anything within reach. If it were not for Unicron’s subliminal restrains on the High Hunt’s minds, she would be utterly uncontrollable.

 

 

 

 

Turmoil:

 

Compared with Turmoil, the most potent Cybertronian energy projectors are second-rate light bulbs. While the likes of Sunstorm and Shrapnel may have to occasionally vent excess energy, Turmoil must do so constantly, simply to prevent his body from blowing itself to bits. Thus he is constantly surrounded by a crackling aura of destructive power that, at a mental command, can expand and destroy anything he wishes it too. Naturally, being an indefinitely postponed explosion has taken an immense toll on his sanity. Turmoil is extremely paranoid, jumpy…and will use any opportunity to realise the forces that rage within him.

 

 

 

The Nemesis is next...and I really mean it this time!  :thumb

As I was saying, I really, really mean it this time!

 

Nemesis:

 

“From order shall come chaos.�

 

Bio:

 

The Shadow of Chaos. The Primary Herald. The Light that brings Darkness. Throughout history, Nemesis has had many names and many forms. A shape-shifting, manipulative, seemingly indestructible creature of shadow, it has been Unicron’s champion for near eternity.

 

Destined, at the end of one of Cybertron’s potential timelines to be hurled into a temporal rift, Nemesis was created from its own remains shortly after the battle between the First Ones and the Fallen. Set loose on reality, its purpose was simple: tear down order. From then on it has been the influence behind many galactic or even universal events, patiently planning vast catastrophes.

 

And now it has finally returned to the place of its rebirth, its attention turning to the children of the being that opposed its master at the dawn of time. The Nemesis is coming…and the Children of Primus may be too divided to stand in its path.

 

Abilities:

 

Has great intelligence and strength in its own right, but can open a direct link to Unicron's astral form, drawing on his power to become near unstoppable. Has the ability to 'possess' other beings, controlling their actions completely. Wields what might crudely be termed ‘chaos magic’, the power to affect probability and thus warp the fabric of space and time. This manifests itself as a blue/green light. Transforms into a space cruiser armed with an immense variety of ordinance, including plasma torpedoes, pencil lasers and disruptor cannons.

 

Weaknesses:

 

Over use of chaos energy and augmentations leads to extreme stress on its systems, forcing it to revert to less arcane weapons. Also, has a known, but only slight, aversion to the energies contained within the Matrix.

 

 

 

 

Jetmode (It transforms completely!):

 

 

 

 

 

 

Robotmode (note that the back pack is heat shields, therefore few details):

 

 

 

 

 

It's a kind of chaos magic!

 

(Well...really it should be 'It's a kind of method for twisting  probability thus altering the fabric of space and time to cause events often associated with the arcane'...but that doesn't really trip off the toungue)

 

wow, your sweeps are AWESOME....boy it woulda been cool to have seen these folks instead of a bunch of non-individual Scourge wannabes...
