Description A 'repaint' I did using Instructions for Energon Shockblast/Six Shot downloaded from Hasbro's official Transformers website, [link]

I've had this done for some time. Not exactly sure how it started, but it was either from my simple "I could do a better job then that" attitude regarding Hasbro's Energon Sixshot, and THEN I had a convo with ~SigmaCore where we talked about that very same thing, or the convo with him spurred me to actually try to make a better job. Anyways, I think that Eng Sixshot COULD have/SHOULD have looked alot better, had they actually tried a little harder at the G1 Sixshot homage. I mean, come on...Eng Sixshot has to be one of the ugliest looking toys to come out in modern years. (And naming him Bludgeon would have made a much better homage IMO) BUT they named him Sixshot, one of the coolest, badassest chars in G1 (hafta follow the japanese series to truely see how badass this dude is), and this is how he should have looked. Same requisite, clashing, bright colors Hasbro likes to use so much and everything. D'ah well. I tried doing this 100 different ways, trying to distribute the colors a little better and closer to the original G1 Sixshot, but in the end, this was the best i could do. I still don't think the mold makes a very good Sixshot, but these colors help make it not suck nearly as bad as the actual Eng version I think.

"Well, he's definitly in the top 10 favorite chars, but Soundwave and Scourge/Nemesis Prime would have to be tied at #1. Then Sixshot, Ironhide, Roadbuster, Mirage, Outback, Thundercracker, Dirge, Rumble & Frenzy (yes, that duo counts as 1 entry, hehe) would probably randomly fill the other 8 slots, heh."

Lesse...

Soundwave (+Soundblaster) pixart(s): Done.
Scourge/Nemesis Prime pixart: ...still working on that.
Sixshot pixart: ...might just have a go at that since it would finish the multi-changer set I've already- Erm... thought of doing. Yeah.
Ironhide pixart: Done and tweeked.
Roadbuster pixart: Definetly will have to use UM as a size reference for this guy.
Mirage pixart: Getting there...
Outback pixart: Well, I do have two now. All's I need is that damnable BotCon version to make the third.
Thundercracker pixart: Really have to rework this guy at some point...
Dirge pixart: Ditto.
Rumble & Frenzy pixarts: Done, slightly reworked and now with sibblings!

So that's *counts* 7 outta 10. Not to shabby if'n I do say so meself (and just did. Heh.)

And I just have to say this has to be one of your most fugly repaints ever, Assey. Right up there with this guy [link] Those colors on that mold... Somehow I really don't see why Hasbro didn't do Energon Sixshot like this. Über-cool mold with eye-searing colors.

'Course, then we get repaints like Universe Downshift and the Universe non-repaint basics assortments side-by-side with the Cybertron line.

Hasbro. Go figure.

Hmmm...looking that list over...how come you HAVEN'T finished pixarting every incarnation of my top 10 favorite characters, huh? And you call yourself a friend. Hmpm. *cracks the whip* Get to it! I can expand the list to top 20 characters if you need more...um..."inspiration" (though you're probably already got half of those done too already)

Though now you have me wondering, where are these:
G1 Outback?
MORE then 1 R&F Sibling? Where? Who? NOW! (All i remember is the 1 fanfic char ya made)
Multichangers? Sandstorm and possibly Sixshot?! Gimme!

I need to learn to hack computers so I can get into your harddrive and see all your little secret projects...

As for this repaint...yeah...it blows. I HOPE it blows a little less then Hasbro's Eng Sixshot though. Or at least the same, but min a way that makes more sense. D'ah well. But you did remind me that I probably should have written another letter to Hasbro with this submission, hehe.

SigmaCore In reply to AsswhompSupreme [2005-09-04 18:47:00 +0000 UTC]

Well, aside from G1 Outback, I have 75 pixarts to post. OK, I'll admit it a good third of these are generic repaints (the crapload of background Seekers with "new" model and the South American Minibots. ALL of them.), but I did practice making Rumble and Frenzy's sibblings and they all look pretty sweet, especially the vultures. Still have yet to make the Autobot Triplechangers tho'...

And maybe you should try writing a real letter to Hasbro. Let them know what a bang-up job you do of putting their TF repaint department to shame.

Oh, and you did the rest of the SA minibots? well hurry up and post em! See what happens when you avoid DA like the plague? You get all backed up with art that'll take forever to post, heh.

SigmaCore In reply to AsswhompSupreme [2005-09-05 00:51:13 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, yeah. All in due time. I actually was looking for a secondary site like Nick Kelsch has for his stuff instead of DA because of all the legal stuff linked to posting here, which is why it took me such a long time to post anything else. I might just get a site for meself someday. Sure won't rival Nick's, but it'll be mine and all the icons'll be organized by faction, series and sub-group. *dreams*

So that mean you're holding off on posting ANY more pixarts until then? *is sad now*

DD thought about (and still is) thinking about something similar, but the only problem with that is you won't be able to get ANY feedback at all on anymore of your work. One of the main reasons she likes staying on DA so much, besides it's many flaws. (besides, seeing as how this is the ONLY way I get to talk to ya, once or twice every couple weeks, if ya just post your pixarts on a seperate site, I'll never be able to pester you ever again. My life will be incomplete... (And thinking about it....maybe thats all the pursuasion you need to DITCH Da and get your own site...heh. D'oh!))

SigmaCore In reply to AsswhompSupreme [2005-09-05 12:02:59 +0000 UTC]

Well, I'd still have my webcomics to post here. Althought that would mean I'd be on DA every other year or so.

And I guess the commenting kinda fuels the glory hound in me, so that'll have to keep me here for a while longer.

Besides....how far would you get without your fans hounding you for our next favorite character to pixart? (I mean, besides the 75+ you managed to do on your own when we left you alone and all. Yeah. Besides that.)

Maybe I should just go into isolation for a couple months. make everyone think I dropped of the edge of the planet or sumthin' then pop back in and flood everyone's inboxes with postings.

Yeah. That's a good plan right there...

Nah, they don't want to hear from a hack like me. (But believe me, were there an actual way to contact hasbro outside their "customer service" dept, i would have tried, heh) Besides...the only outlet I would have had, TFU, is cancled. Maybe they could have done a little better using a couple of my better repaints rather then...say...the entire first and second waves of figures, heh...but alas...they already ruined a fine opertunity of a line...bastiches. But hay, at least we still have TFU Downshift to look forward to. yay.

Hehe. I swear, you're Sixshot obsessed.

Snazzy little bugger though. Maybe if the colors were muted, I'd buy it.

Nah. I'm Soundwave Obcessed. I just really really really LIKE Sixshot.

Hehe. I've a feeling Sixshot is pretty darn close to Soundwave.

Well, he's definitly in the top 10 favorite chars, but Soundwave and Scourge/Nemesis Prime would have to be tied at #1. Then Sixshot, Ironhide, Roadbuster, Mirage, Outback, Thundercracker, Dirge, Rumble & Frenzy (yes, that duo counts as 1 entry, hehe) would probably randomly fill the other 8 slots, heh.

Oh yeah, how did I forget about Scourge, heh....Hmmm...

I'll hafta say, in descending order, Shockwave, Grimlock, Megatron, Starscream, Prime, Wheeljack, Tracks, Rumble, Bluestreak, and Shrapnel.

You ARE aware that one from your list is in there, right?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

AsswhompSupreme In reply to theguycalledwingus [2005-08-28 19:01:32 +0000 UTC]

Obviously he wasn't included in the "loser" catagory BECAUSE he was on my list, hehe. And how can you like only ONE of the Rumble/Frenzy duo when they're so mixed up and entertwained that to try and seperate one character from the other gives you a headache? (And how can an Ultra Magnus obcessed freak like you not have him in your list? OR Predaking?)

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

theguycalledwingus In reply to AsswhompSupreme [2005-08-28 20:37:48 +0000 UTC]

I'm not Magnus obsessed, it's just that YOU hate him SO much that you peg anyone who remotely likes him as an obsessor.

And I prefer Rumble's personality to Frenzy's. Frenzy is just combat crazy, where Rumble's a little smartmouth.

And Predaking...I dunno. I could only pick ten. Hehe.
