Description
The third of my Botcon set concepts

Attendee set #1:
Subsea with Fracas (from Universe Cyclonus and Nightstick)
Smeltdown with Guttersnipe (from Cybertron Menasor and Heavy Load)

Attendee set #2:
Impactor (from Classics Megatron; new head)
Warmonger (from Generations Thrust)

Freebie Souvenir:
Avatar of Primus (from Generations Perceptor; new head)

Subsea was one of the Autobot rookies who went into the Underworld as part of an initiation rite. He didn't last long. He seems to have Cyclonus's head, so I made him into a Cyclonus repaint. He's supposed to be a submarine, but I envisage his altmode being air-and-water capable. As a result of the colour choices, I ended up with a rather nice Fracas too. While not a UK character, he did get a ton to do in the Marvel UK comics, which is more than you can say for just about every other Targetmaster gun. Give him to your Generations Scourge! [link]

Smeltdown is one of the mutants who live in the Underworld of Cybertron who kindly helped to murderise Subsea. Hey, what can I say, I really loved that story! He is a guy with flame-throwing nozzles instead of hands, and a nuclear furnace in his chest. Now, Smeltdown was in a black and white story so I went with a mainly black, with red, yellow and orange scheme (I didn't want to go with just red, orange and yellow since he'd look too much like Flame). As a result he does also look a bit like Omega Doom, but those colours seem to be impossible to replicate on that mold. Painting the middle part of his face red along with his eyes, I Was able to replicate his 'visored' look. I was left with a minicon as part of the mold. I called him Guttersnipe after the Timelines Mutant, even though he looks nothing like him. Uh, Marvel Guttersnipe anyone? [link]

Since I'm using Xaaron in the main set with a new head, it makes sense to colour him in gold and have him as the freebie as Primus / US Xaaron, since that head mold wouldn't be used again. To differentiate him, I envisage this one in metallic gold / chrome, although I wasn't able to show that THAT well via photoshop.

Impactor! Everyone loves Impactor! The Classics Megatron mold actually works quite well as Impactor, better than Megatron (since Megatron has, y'know, TWO hands). I removed the paint app from his chest, and painted his shoulders (not sure if that piece CAN be painted, otherwise it is yellow not purple), his stomach and his crotch. Not bad, I thought! [link]

Warmonger is another of the characters I really liked from the latter days of the UK comic. He was a deep cover Autobot spy. On one wing I put a normal Decepticon insignia, but on the other I put an Autobot rubsign so you can see his real SECRET allegiance! Warmonger again, was a black and white character, so I went with a cream/brown look, from the Thrust mold. Again, I like it. He mongs wars. [link]
