Description
Transformers Universe was a game that I signed up for the beta early on but after a while I completely forgot about the game and then like 8 years later the thought came to me and I discovered that the game got cancelled which made me sad. Regardless I went and watched the trailers for the characters and out of all of them one seemed unique. While he probably wouldn't have been the character I would have played (that would probably have been Catapult) something about Sparkscape was different and I don't know what it is. About a week or 2 ago I was looking for ideas for an Autotrooper combiner that would use an upgraded combiner wars battle core Optimus Prime who thanks to the upgrade would look like Nova Prime which I have yet to acquire. After some browsing I came up with the idea to use the Power of the Primes Jazz and replace his head with one based on the Autotrooper from the Transformers Universe game however the head came as either a pack of 3 or in a 3 pack with 2 other Universe character's heads so I got the latter so I didn't end up with useless heads. In addition to Jazz I also found a broken Movie Landmine well I say broken but it actually was just missing the front and rear bumpers and the gun but it was only 3 bucks so it didn't matter to me. I really wasn't a fan of Landmine's claw hands so I took some hands I made previously and modified them to fit Landmine. Now they can still fit in the vehicle mode but they require a deal of finessing to get them to fit. The flamethrower was pretty easy and the hose was a Lego hose that I cut to fit. I would have liked to create new feet but I don't want to risk destroying the legs by trying to knock out pins with a hammer and etc. I do wish that the two parts of the legs held together better because trying to adjust them can easily result in the wheels becoming unpegged as they form the heels and cause the figure to lean forward slightly. All in all I'm pleased with how he turned out especially the flames as that was done by hand and they look pretty good considering this is the first time I've done freehand flames.
