Thanks!

 

The head is actually the Rage of Hercules head, but I added some black paint to simulate an open mouth. :)

Rage of Devastator!

I don't understand the hate for this figure... I picked one up yesterday from Target expecting the worst, and I was pleasantly surprised!

Although not "technically" a transformer... it kind of resembles one - :P

 

Just finished blacking out the head lights, fog lights, turn signals, tail lights, reverse lights, and side markers:

Haha.... that's actually pretty cool!

 

And Hasbro... seriously? It would be too expensive to paint the waist black and the bumper red for Jazz?

I have seen some mixed reviews of this one... and really bad reviews for the Weaponizer Bumblebee - but I haven't bought that one yet.

 

In my opinion, it's not bad at all. Yes, he has a backpack (gatling gun storage) and he has some pretty plain paint apps out of the box, but it transforms pretty well and is fairly poseable.

 

I like him, and after paint apps it was worth the $29 in my opinion. :)

Weaponizers Prime, with added paint apps! :)

 

(crap... forgot to post more pics of Nemesis Landmine) :redface

[The Action Pose Thread]

Wish I could take full credit for him...

 

I originally got him from the TFans.com "End Cap" thread several years ago - might have been from SureShot?

 

The base figure was already done, but the "brute mode" pieces were never finished - until this past weekend. When I get home from work I will take a few more pics for the board. :)

Thanks, guys. :)

 

The head bothers me a little as well. It's a small head already, and when you beef up the body with extra parts then it looks even smaller. :(

 

I was holding out with the Prime kit, and then I saw them on sale at K Mart this week for $22 so I bought two of them and used the extra parts from the second kit. I made some minor changes since this pic, but this is still how it looks.

 

It seems like "doubling up" on the kits works better than just one... I did the same to Bumblebee awhile ago:

 

[The Action Pose Thread]

Can I please get some feedback?

 

What can I do to make this Kre-O Optimus look a little better:

 

 

 

Here is the original robot mode, before the extra parts are added:

Awesome!

The last two MT Giant figs arrive on Monday! In the meantime, Hook has less arm kibble...

That's actually a really good idea about the shield... I might try that tonight. :)

[The Action Pose Thread]

Mine is loose as well. Hopefully they can make a fix for that.

 

Here is the CrazyDevy purple cement barrel... just came in today:

One of my favorites, off the shelf:

I think that it also comes in the traditional Iron Man colors as well.

 

Overall, the Captain America mech suit is pretty nice... it fits a standard figure inside, and the articulation is average - neck swivels, shoulders, elbows, and wrists all turn. The legs move at the hips, and the ankles pivot, but the fact that it's a mech suit limits the legs a bit. For example, there are no knees.

 

It comes with tons of interchangeable missile pods and guns, but it was also a bit light on the paint details. I had to paint the eyes and the gatling gun muzzle red, and the belt buckle and hand repulsers yellow. They are minor details, but it helps. I also added the "shield" on his back from the Captain America Transformer Crossover, and I used the Iron Patriot figure instead of the standard Captain America that it came with.

 

Here is a few more shots after the paint apps:

Not a TF, but still cool...
