Transformers: UK, Another series of occasional CGI models - WRECK AND RULE! Options

[The Librarian]

Does exactly what it said on the tin.

I begin with a certain wily old buzzard because, dratit, he's the most effective leader the Autobots ever had and he deserves more press.

Opinions on the layout, model and so on welcomed. Any comments welcomed, in fact! Hopefully, I'll get a few more obscure, UK only characters up over the next few weeks/months.

not a fan of the side cannon, but overall, thats a pretty fricken awesome imagining of the character

[Copper Bezel]

I dig the pose! Nice.

I still want this in plastic. = )

[Admiral Lilwall]

agreed, its about time this guy got a toy, we're getting a straxus finally so maybe we'll see this guy one day too

A Xaaron toy would be wonderful.

Although I bet they blooming well wouldn't release it in the Uk, the twirps.

Anyway: Impactor.

I should possibly explain that several things influenced this design. First, I wanted to make him huge and physically imposing - built big and square unlike Xaaron, who I made considerably more slender and sleek than he was originally. I therefore played up the blockyness. I also wanted to add in hints of a boxer, particularly in the face, although I'm not sure how well that works. Oh, and I also wanted to make the harpoon removable because, with all due respect to messers Roche and Roberts, I prefer the original idea that he didn't always have it. Colours...well, nothing revolutionary but I didn't want him quite so...hot pink as he was occasionally went in his original run or as orange as he was in Last Stand of the Wreckers (dratit, I need to get hold of that comic...).

Aside from that, I just went where the whim took me and, well...see for yourself...

And, by the way? That Tank is about 4m tall. Over it, in fact. Just so you know...

Very nice work.

(and you totally do need LSotW. Maslow's heirarchy was modified the day issue five was released to add a new layer between basic needs and safety. You can guess what it contained.)
