Description A 'repaint' I did using Instructions for Armada Demolishor I scanned myself from the copy of the instructions that came with the toy.

Presenting the best Transformer of all time, Soundwave! Whoo! Ever since reading Armada Demolishor’s profile on the Transformers website, they made him out to be JUST like Soundwave. Even now, Energon Demolishor’s quote is word for word the SAME as his. But it never really showed in any of his portrayals. Yeah he’s loyal, and even taken a shoot or two for Megatron (one of whick even killed him, though he was given a new body) but he’s just to stupid and brutish to be a good Soundwave. Still though, I always thought the Demolishor mold would ROCK repainted as a Soundwave. I mean, his Minicon even resembles Rumble, with pile driver hands, a radar dish on his back, and the ability to shoot it out of the front of his vehicle mode. How much more like Soundwave can you get?! When they repainted them to be Powerlinx versions, again, I had hopes they would make him like Soundwave, but it never happened. Meh. So I finally made some workable line art from the Demolishor Instructions and went to work doing it myself. Lemme just say this…Best…Repaint…EVER. I loved the idea of this, but never in my imagination did I picture he’d look THIS good. This should Sooooo be a toy.

I simply love how this looks, and while a remolded head would make it all the more perfect, I think it’s as close as a toy can get to a perfect repaint.

The minicon is Rumble, complete with Pile driver hands. Rumble IS Blue. And this is the best match up of a robot and Minicon partner I’ve ever had.

Bravo!

I never thought your idea to repaint Demolishor as Soundwave would look so damm frikkin' good! Somehow, when you told me you where eventually going to do this repaint, that horrendous blue sploch of plastic called Universe Soundwave came to mind. *shudders* I know you mentionned using the Demolishor mold as the base model, but I still couldn't help thinking about that.

(BTW, I don't doubt your skills at doing these. If anything, I admire all the incredible and wonderful work you've done so far.)

And incidently, you've just answered a question before I even posted it or ask you about it. That whole RIBFIR thing. I wasn't to sure whether or not to follow the original cartoon or the Marvel and Dreamwave character guides for the twin trouble makers. Now I'm doing cartoon style! YEAH!!!

Your right about something to. The G1 show gave them their personalities, so it's only fair to follow those for sanity's sake.

Now to go look at the others...

Oh I see how it is...you didn't believe in me, huh?

S'ok. I know all to well how an idea can seem cool in my head, though when I finally put it down on the screen, it's just not all I thought it would be visually. This is one of the rare cases when it ended up all I thought it could be and then some. Glad ya like it and are pleasantly surprised. I'd advise you to always expect the worst from me, that way, when something just comes together like this did, it's a bonus, hehe.

And as for TFU Soundwave...wish it could be better...or at least DARKER...but it'll do. I love the MW Soubdwave mold and always thought it would make an awesome Soundwave painted right. While this is far from close to 'right', it's close though. Especially since I plan to gut my MW Soundwave and use his black parts to replace the ugly ass yellow ones on the TFU one. Ideally, I'd rather get a spare one to do it with, so I can try my first official kitbash and repaint his face mask silver, and do something with that UGLY ass yellow radar dish.

And on the RIBFIR decision. I'm glad you agree with me. If only we could convince DW to see things our way...

DW and the other half of the fandom that follow the toy's bios more than the what happens in the show. Usually, I just cobble something together in my mind that takes elements from everything.

Hell, I've even taken stuff from the four eps I've seen of the japanese Headmasters series. Like the fact that Wheelie doesn't rhyme. Never.

Yeah, I know what ya mean. I've actually got ALL the japanese g1 series (HM, MF, V) on disks, and have only watched like..half of headmasters, heh. It's a good series, but that dubbing is just SOOOO bad. I mean, they give half the Transformers REAL names...like Billy. And Soundblaster is refered to as "NEW Soundwave" *shudder*. Sucks, cause I really wanna finish watching so I can see then get to the parts with the Targetmasters and Punch/Counterpunch.

Yeah, but it's dubbed and NOT subbed, so I'd miss whatever the hell is going on. I'm not good at just watching a show and gussing what's going on without any dialogue. Especially when it's a Japanese show, heh. It may be a crappy dub, but I need it sadly.

Umm, turn off the sound...? or, at the very least lower it enough so it's like backgroung noise or somethin'.
