Thanks to all again for the comments.

@Des: I like the high contrast between the colours in bot mode, good job. What weapons are you going to make for it?

@Ravage: Although it's not a video, a few tutorials can be found here: Clicky. Be sure to give the rest of the site a look too.

Rumble.

.
Two short swords, two pistols and one large sword {as the guy who comissioned to figure requested mind, the pistols and large sword need to resemble those used by dante in the Devil May Cry games.}

I'll post some pics once the weapons are done.

No major custom updates. I did this yesterday:-

Note that his fists now rotate.

As he will eventually become a clench custom figure. Note where the two red circles are. They will be used to mount these bad boys onto his shoulders:-

what are those "bad boys" from? also, what's with the soundwave in the background? shouldn't that rubsign be in the middle of his tape door, instead of his shoulder?

Finished off a custom that was about 90% complete before:-

Dark future burnout custom -
Image
Image
Image
Image

He has the one optic head as he is supposed to be able to see in every known vision type, his weapons are a bayonet and a laser rifle {Which used to be a random dagger and the shotgun type weapon from classics ultra magnus.}. Here's his full bio if you're interested:-

Burnout

Primary Function: Decepticon scout

Stats:
Strength: 7
Speed: 8
Intelligence: 10
Agility: 7
Endurance: 7
Courage: 9
Firepower: 7
Accuracy: 8
Hand-to-hand skill: 5
Technical Skill: 6

Vehicle mode: convertable sports car.

BIO: Burnout is brash and arrogant too much for most decepticons. He believes himself superior to all of the others and rarely engages in conversation. his commanders have punished him for failure to follow orders on numerous occasions but burnout still pulls the same old stunts. If he was not an excellent scout he would have been reduced to hot slag more than once. Secretly burnout's ambitions lie with the rulership of the decepticons so he has tried to find weaknesses in his commanding officers in order to climb through the ranks. Due to his personality he is not well liked and as such when his dirty underhanded tactics work he is not considered to replace the officer who was lost. Unfortunately for the replacement Burnout never loses sight of his dream and as such will start planning more accidents, such as tipping off an autobot base to expect and attack, rigging a faulty demolition charge to detonate, tampering with a drop pod or backstabbing or further his dream.

WEAPONS/ABILITIES:

With the ability to see in all known vision types nothing escapes his recon. in vehicle mode he is fast and yet silent. He can see what is happening for about a mile all round himself due to his advanced sensor systems.

1 X standard issue decepticon laser rifle with flash suppressor.

1 X laser blade bayonet. [can be wielded like a kinfe or clipped onto the laser rifle for advanced melee.]

Tactical grenades:
Burnout usually carries a disproportionate amount of these 'tactical grenades' He often fogets to check which type he pulls from his subspace and becuase they range from containing luminous paint to a strong EMP field they are hard to predict when he uses them.

WEAKNESSES: Arrogance can lead to infighting with other decepticons.

Shattered glass Sword Storm. Now fully armed.

Still needs some more work done on the cavities in his legs and some tidying up before he'll be complete.

(The large sword was robbed from a universe classics 2.0 vector prime, the two short swords came from my bitz box as did the parts used for the suitably alien looking cybertronian deagles.)

What the heck paint did you use on that rubber Vec Prime sword? It looks like it took quite well...

Its from the universe 2.0 VP TT. It was silver to start with.

Well as I have ran out of black paint and need to get some more. Until then though here's something I may as well show you my current WIP project.

I see you've also beat me to the punch on doing Manfred von Richthofen's Albatros. Are you planning on painting or decaling the iron crosses on the wings and fuselage? I have plenty of reference pictures if you like :P

Who's the Uni VP going to be?

I have some ref pics but I need to paint them on after I get some more paint.

Well after doing some background research on the Shattered Glass universe I realised because there's not much to read on it anything goes.

What he is going to become is a shattered glass version of himself. I have a nice little neat bio written up for him and as he and the fallen are near polar opposites it got me thinking. What would vector prime looks like in the colours of the fallen....hence the colour scheme and overall look of him. {As VP's face kinda looks like the autobot symbol so I thought an evil version of him would be something a little bit special.}
