This was my first third party purchase. I'm so glad I took the plunge because there are just so many great figures out there that fill gaps in Hasbro's line or simply improve upon what is available.
I started with a photo of an overcast day and enhanced it with some more drawn in clouds. That custom smoke brush is sure coming in handy.
The star streaks are Motion blurred, Guassian blurred, Noise layers.
Caelus doesn't have as many obvious places to add in glowing bits. I still need to work on making a more convincing afterburner.
These are my favorite collection of Transformers, but a third party company needs to get working on articulated neck and tail extensions.
Planet X Neptune - Fall of Cybertron Sludge
I kept the same background as Quirinus so I could focus on touching up the figure. Since the upcoming Paddles is just a remold of Neptune, it's probably too much to hope that he will have the articulated neck and tail as well as replacement parts for Neptune.
Even without them, this is still a great figure. I love the size in comparison to the rest of his team. His hammer weapons are a nice change of pace from the usually included swords.
Planet X Quirinus - Fall of Cybertron Slug
I hadn't noticed until now that Slag was renamed to Slug in the game.
Compared to the previous project, this was a piece of a cake. I intend to do the same for the rest of the figures.
Unfortunately, there are no caves nearby so I had to make do with a photo I took of a nearby park to serve as my background.
Planet X Summanus - Fall of Cybertron Snarl
This is an absolutely beautiful figure, with all the transparent plastic plates and spikes. Unfortunately, transparent plastic was also used in joints and mount points so you have to handle this figure with some care. I still love it though. Makes me wish that the Autobots, or Shockwave in this case, didn't just stop at five Dinobots. At least Paddles is in the works.
I probably shouldn't hold my breath for an articulated neck and tail add-on pack.
Planet X Vulcun - Fall of Cybertron Grimlock
Although I already did Grimlock, I wanted to complete this picture set. This is an amazing figure that corrects all the faults of the Hasbro version. It feels so great to finally complete this line of Dinobots.
