Description
Here it is! My custom Batbot-mobile Transformer.I started with the TFA Blurr figure , modified the head, and hood (that's bonnet for my British fans) and sculpted the front fins from Mighty Putty . I then painted the whole thing flat black then added the silver and red details. It's kinda hard to tell from the picture but the metallic color on the hood and just behind the fins is actually a pewter color because after re-watching every episode of Batman Beyond (and The Return of the Joker movie) in the past 48 hours I've determined that the struts that connect to the fins is supposed to be lighter than black but darker than the side "weapons panel" so i figured a pewter color was a happy medium between the two.
I used the original head from the Blurr figure after taking it apart and removing the translucent piece as well as the unicorn like horn he had and replaced it with mighty putty that i sculpted into the bat ears, then i cut off the excess plastic parts of it's head and reshaped the face. For the hood i removed the translucent saw from the underside and then cutout a V-shape then filled with more Mighty Putty to give it a smooth and aerodynamic look.
Now before anyone makes the comment "it's got wheels, That batmobile is supposed to be a hovercraft", Yeah I know... but I liked the rear wheel design of the base transformer that i decided to keep the wheels... call it artist's prerogative if you will...
I'm not sure if I'm going to do an animated transform gif of this one the figure was a pain in the @ss to before I started modifying it... but who knows... maybe after i get unpacked at my new place I'll have the patients to animate it... we'll see...
anyway, enjoy!
