More Than meets the eye: A wretched Fleet of Scum and Villainy

By Mr Tough Guy, in X-Wing

This thread alone really makes me wish I could paint

Love the paint job

Same they look amazing but I know myself well enough not too try

Obviously Cartoon is Canon so Rumble is purple, Frenzy is Black/Red

I'm with you on this one! The Guy's name is Frenzy! Red color just works for him.

FIRRIB (Frenzy Is Red, Rumble is Blue)

Awesome paint job. I'd love to do all the Bugzappers in Insecticon colors now.

Here are the latest additions

And I figured I'd add the pics of the previous guys with their inspiration in this thread too

I'm not much of a painter, but there is a guy who plays at our FLGS who is incredible at it. I am going to commission him to paint up my Hounds Tooth in a classic Optimus Prime style. When we non GenCon goers can get our hands on it, of course...

Be sure to post some pics when you do, now that I think of it the hounds tooth does kinda look like optimus :P

You do realise you'll have to do the other seekers now to right? :D

Well at least do Starscream! And Ramjet and Thrust... And maybe the Rainmakers. yeah, do Sunstorm to! :)

Love it love it love it!

Working on Starscream right now, and planning on getting two more Most wanted sets, I'm reserving one Z-95 for Laserbeak to be used as the Nashtah pup together with a Soundwave Hounds tooth, but the other 3 will become Thrust, Ramjet and one of the rainmakers :D

In addition to Mindwipe, I'd also like to suggest Ratbat as a Starviper.

If I could upload a custom avatar, you'd probably already expect this.

Jetfire would make a good Kihraxz. Or maybe Thunderwing?

WOW! My brother just sent me the link to this thread. These repaints are FANTASTIC!!!

And a pic with the inspiration for their colourscheme

So oddly enough I had the poster/catalog foldout from the first run of transformers in my pocket when I clicked on this thread. So according to that Rumble is red and Frenzy is blue.

Also these look amazing, and I love that you picked the ultra obscure Deluxe insecticon for the Scyk (I always wanted that one).

Scum and Villains disguised as scummy and villainous robots in disguise!

Introducing the Houndimus Prime! Been a while, I know, but it was worth the wait. I freakin love it. More pics at Facebook.com/modelmagicstudio

did a quick paintscheme in photoshop, although not sure if I have the proper shade of purple paint for rumble, might have to make a trip to the shop first to see if I can find something close enough

As for doing X-wings as aerialbots, I only started playing and buying a few weeks ago and so far have only bought Scum, I don't even have a starterbox yet :P, One of the reasons I started Scum was so I could do outlandish paintjobs without it looking too much out of place, I think Rebels and Empire would probably look better with more traditional schemes, although I have seen some more colourful interpretations that look great. But for the time being I'm sticking to scum (and Decepticons)

You need to have 4 of those transform into a huge ship with 8 hull and 8 shields.

That is a gorgeous repaint.

Great paint schemes! The Transformers Animated Decepticon motto seems quite fitting; "Decepticons, transform and rise up."

And Houndimus is perfect.

I love the original series of transformers, these paint jobs are instantly recognisable!

Acid colours are acid!
I like it.
bro-fist for the awesomely painted brobots!

I'll tell him you guys think so!

Dude, that's awesome! My first reaction was: "What? Transformers toy? He transforms into what now? " and then quickly followed by "Wait, I know that thing... It's the Hound's Tooth!" and "Whoah!".

Ofcourse I would have painted it to resemble this guy: ;)
