Stinger: Transformers 4

This is my take, at the Transformers Age of Extinction, Pagani Huayra- Decepticon, Stinger. As Hasbro never released a figure, for this character, I figured I could make one on my own. 

The Beginning/ Base Figure

The Base figure, was the Transformers 2 Deluxe Cannon Bumblebee (Being the only other Bumblebee figure I had in my collection, which was already broken/in-transformable).

The First Stage.

The first Stage was, opening up the figure and placing the parts in their respective positions to capture the character's screen accuracy. Most of it was sculpted with M-seal. 
[Note:- I was unable to find the missing parts from the figure during the first stage.]

    The Positioning.                                                                           The Sculpting.



The Second Stage. [Final remodel]

After considering the first stage a total piece of crap, and finally recovering the rest of the parts of the figure, I started work from scratch, and reshaped some of the details, such as the total makeover of the torso. 

Scratch built Torso.


Arms repainted. 


Modified Head.


Tallying the parts.


The first Assembly.


A little size comparison after the first assembly


The final addition i.e. The Back section.

Roadbuster: Transformers 3

A re-model for the, not so accurate/ not-at-all accurate, Transformers Dark of the Moon- Deluxe Roadbuster. Fortunately this custom figure, can still transform.



The Beginning/ Base Figure

The Base figure, was the Transformers 3 Deluxe Roadbuster figure created/ sold by Hasbro itself.



The First Stage.

The first Stage was, shifting parts from one place to the other. Some parts of interest were the Head-light, panels, which were shifted from the hood and front section, to either sides of the windshield, adding the metal pieces from the Chainsaw weapon, to the Door panels. (Also you may add the Gatling-gun in the front, and the gun-barrels in the Headlights and the spoiler at the back.)


Also I added some plastic, pieces to the section where the Headlights were placed by default. (For the Robot Mode)


Added the Spoiler, and the nozzle shaped vessel at the back.



Added the Gatling-gun, some hand-held decals, and the center piece of the mech-tech weapon to the hood.


The Second Stage. [Final remodel]

After considering the first stage unsatisfactory, I started building parts from scratch, and reshaped some of the details, such as the decals, re-shaping the front piece and making some modifications for the Robot Mode.


Painted front piece (White), added new plastic pieces for the robot mode (Green panels under the hood).  Kibbled the Front Section a bit.


Changed the Hood Piece, Re-colored the headlight panels. Added the printed decal (IMPALA)


Nozzle Re-do. (removable nozzle)


Side view.

Dino: Transformers 3

This is my take, at the Transformers Dark of the Moon, Ferrari 458 Italia- Autobot, Dino. As Hasbro never released a figure, for this character, I figured I could make one on my own. 

The Beginning/ Base figure.
After a lot of research on the character and viewing other custom figurines, I came to the conclusion that the Base figure had to be the Deluxe Class Sideways from Transformers 2.


The First Stage.

The first stage, was repainting the figure, along with which I re-positioned the doors, and added the blades on the hands. (From Transformers 3 Crankcase)


Next was the Head-sculpt.



The Second Stage. [Final remodel]

After considering the first stage to be a complete disaster, I started work from scratch, re-shaping, re-modeling, creating parts, adding accessories, new paint-job. 


The Chest Piece, scratch built.


Head-sculpt, Re-model.


Feet Re-model.

Final Figure.
