Description The second of my Botcon concepts.

This set is a celebration of the Marvel US Transformers comic, and of course the work of colourist Nel Yomtov. It includes a combination of some of his unique colour schemes, and some comic-only US characters who are in need of toys.

Story: MARVEL #81 - The war is over... or is it? GALVATRON is still alive, and has begun to gather an army of loyalists and opportunists, such as the backstabbing SOUNDWAVE, the overenthusiastic WIPE-OUT and the boastful FERAK. He has a plan - he will use the power of the Last Autobot to raise a new army! Because even gods can be conned. Only a small band of Autobots and rejects stand in his way!


Box Set contents:
Wipe-Out (from Reveal the Shield Windcharger)
The Last Autobot with Aerobot (from Vector Prime and Safeguard)
Ferak (from Generations Scourge's alternate head repaint)
Soundwave (from WFC Soundwave; new head)
Wheezel (from Generations Kup; new head)
Scrounge (from Universe Cosmos; new head)


Wipe-Out is Trypticon's little buddy who wasn't Full-Tilt. I painted the crest on his head white to homage his optic visor on the comic model - [link]
The Last Autobot is of course, the character from the last arc of the comic. My only failing was that I really wasn't sure what to do with the orange and blue minicon that I got as a result, and no character (apart from Prima) is blue and orange in Marvel US. I didn't really want to force a name on him for no reason, so... who else is a plane and blue/orange? HELLO AEROBOT!
Ferak is the deadly Decepticon from US #17. I decided he should have the head of Generation Scourge's repaint, but since we've only seen lineart of that head, I've mocked it up the best I could. I made his body red for an interesting bit of contrast. [link]
Soundwave is purple and has a mouth. 'Nuff said.
Wheezel is a hobo from US #17. I've put some brown 'scuff' paint applications onto him to make him look more run-down. [link]
Scrounge is of course, the glorious Scrounge with his special hand. Why does he get a head remold when it could have gone to someone bigger, and Cosmos' head is mostly the same shape? Well he's SCROUNGE, he deserves it dammit!!
