Description
A 'repaint' I did using Instructions for Armada Demolishor I scanned myself from the copy of the instructions that came with the toy.One of the coolest ideas EVER. Soundblaster. How do you make Soundwave, one of the all time coolest characters and Toys in all of Transformers history even better? Impossible you say? Well you make him black and with a crimson window, much like everyone’s favorite evil Optimus clone, Scourge/Nemesis Prime. (Though he came out way earlier then them) That’s how.
As I was finishing up turning Demolishor into Soundwave, I was coloring his Minicons, and his Vehicle mode has the Blackout figure in BOTH of his vehicle modes. I had a stray thought that since Soundwave’s Minicon was going to be blue and gray, and he’d be Rumble, I’d color one vehicle mode to be Rumble, and the other in Black and red to be Frenzy. Then I started thinking, wait a minute…Black and Red…repaint of Soundwave…SOUNDBLASTER! And he’d have Frenzy, a Minicon that fits in just as good as Soundwave and Rumble. Well, a few quick colors later, and here we have him. My Demolishor repainted into Soundwave, repainted again into Soundblaster. I’m not really happy with how he came out, at least not as much as I am with my Soundwave repaint. I think his vehicle mode looks nice, but the bot mode just looks…off. Probably because the way I had to distribute the red and black plastic. I tried to cover it up by ‘painting’ a good bit of the red plastic chest black, but I’m still not entirely happy with it. While I would kill for an actual toy of this guy, he’s just not AS good as Soundwave. Still pretty cool though. Think of Soundblaster as Powerlinx Soundwave.
Minicon is, of course, Frenzy, and next to Rumble, he’s probably the best and most fitting Minicon-to-Bigbot I’ve done. And for anyone who cares or wants to start crap, Rumble IS Blue, Frenzy IS Red. The cartoon is what gave them personalities we all feel in love with (who can hate the little ass hole punk trouble maker Rumble from the show). The cartoon made Rumble blue, and every time I picture Rumble, I picture the TV version, so RIBFIR it is then!

*looks at repaint of repaint*
x2!
Dude, this is frikkin' awesome! Now you know my fav colors for a TF toy aren't black and red, but this is incredible! Really! The colors work so well on the toy it's mind bogling. Hell, even the Frenzy Mini-Con looks great. I can just imagine having both recolors and powerlinxing both Mini-Cons to either Soundwave or Soundblaster.
Hasbro soooo needs to hire you for their Universe line. Who cares if both of them come out at almost the same time! One could be a simple deluxe while the other could be package "Battle in a box" style!

Aww shucks...
Hehe, anyways, glad ya like this too. I'm not fully convinced by it though. The red and black just didn't work out the way I wanted it to. Oh well. It's still a kick ass red and black TF, and I'd buy it regardless of who it was. It just doesn't scream "Soundblaster" to me like a good homage should.
And if I knew how to show my ideas and work to Hasbro, believe me, I'd be allllllll over that, heh. Hell, they don't even have to give me credit, if some of my ideas inspire them a bit, good. I just wanna see some better toys and repaints coming out of the TFU and other lines.
