The Great Marljack Roundup
(bringing home those lost kissing cousins of the Transformers)
Well howdy folks! I would first like to say that I could not have done this without the help of KCC Transrepro, and Reprolabels. A big thank you goes to them for superb parts, and stickers. Herein, lies my interpretation of Marlboro Wheeljack. I ordered some translucent heads, and parts from KCC, and of course, the Marlboro Wheeljack sticker set from Reprolabels (plus a special gold foil set).
Firstly, we have Smokewagon. Also, don't forget to read his updated Bio.
I painted the internal part of the head red, leaving the translucent blue on the outside. This gives him an "energon helmet look" as well as turns him into a cyclops. I also placed a silver foil sticker on the internal peg (that holds the head on) in order to reflect light through the eye better. I tweaked the ears a little with dark blue translucent paint internally (otherwise they were a bit too bright).
From this angle you can see the translucent face shield over the eye.
And of course we all know Smokewagon likes to light up.
A glowing view of the cyclops eye.
Another face shield angle with missiles.

And now for Carjack. Also, here is his updated Bio.
It should be noted that I once again had difficulty taking proper pictures of the foil due to bounce-back brightness.
I goldwashed the front of the face slightly to give him an elemental look. I also painted the internal part of the head gold. It didn't have the same effect as with Smokewagon. Although, it did seem to amplify the purple some behind the goldwashed face shield.
You can dimly make out Carjack's one cyclopsian eye in this shot.
Though Carjack doesn't like to use them, here is a shot of him with his missile launchers. You can see the internal glow of his energon helmet also.
Golden car mode.
I enjoyed getting these sets. That said, it was some work to put everything together. On a final note, I wrote a small fiction here.
Have a Great one!
