Description Dog was made from 3 TFs: Movie Dreadwing, RoTF Breakaway, and the little Omnibot jet. Resculpted the head and the feet. Reworked the wings to go backwards. After a huge overhall on the cockpit insides the new head fits and can be popped up like it was supposed to on the original toy. Also used a busted tail fin on Breakaway to make the single fin on DF here.

One paint job later we get Dogfight.

One more thing to note is the paint scheme is a mix of the G1 toy, Dreamwave and Marvel art. Used lots of pic of him as reference and in the end mixed matched and just painted it to what I thought looked cool.

Wow! I really like this piece. His colorscheme really stands out with the contrast of colors here and there. Good job on this piece.

Shinobitron In reply to Shadowjugement [2012-05-06 02:59:40 +0000 UTC]

Neither just an excuse to use the clear logo I got as a promo from Reprolabels.

Huh, never heard of this one before. Looks cool though, kind of reminds me of the mech Helion from the obscure game Cyberbots

He was a Triggerbot. He came late in the TF run of toys. You were able to press a button and have his guns pop out.

I believe that he is a Triggerbot, one of a trio of Autobots whose gimmick was a set of spring loaded guns that popped out at the push of a button. There is also a matching group of Decepticons called the Triggercons. They had more comic appearences, but even then were obscure since they came in at the end of the G1 run.
