Energon Ultra Magnus
(When the situation comes to a head.)
Well I guess this shows that I try to please too many people. There were several people that offered me some pretty good suggestions for making a "true" Magnus head in Duo-bot mode. In the end I decided on something different that I believe is pleasing to the eye. Although, I'm sure beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I decided not to make my Magnus a helmet, but a new head all together (in the form of a Headmaster).
Meet the former minicon Ultra (now a Headmaster). See Ultra's bio here.
Now for the merger. (Also see Magnus, and Ultra Magnus bios.)
Notice how Ultra's head neatly folds, and fits into the space behind Ultra Magnus' head. This is how Ultra "links" to Magnus. Plus, I avoided having to drill a hole in Magnus this way.
I used Universe Treadshot's head, and chopped up his minicon. I like putting Ultra Magnus on top of Rodimus. There's something pleasing about two leaders working together.
I wanted to show off the complete work (chest and all), but for all of you fans of Prowl.....
Below are a couple of better pictures with Prowl's lights lowered. The second picture looks pretty good.
Thanks for looking! And DON'T forget to read the bios. It adds to the characters. :0) Anyway, that's all for now, and remember. PAINT SOMETHING TODAY!!
