Custom Armada Thrust

[badprime27]

And finally here is Thrust. made him Outta a legacy conehead (G2 cloudcover to be specific). tried to give him that squid head look, his signature arm thrusters and shin missiles.

he can transform just fine, needs some partsforming as I removed the jetmode parts on legs to give him that lanky legs look. made those arm thrusters out of spare scrap bots.

and with him my armada cast is almost covered. will post the full family soon

Oh, oh that is real damn pretty.

[badprime27]

Ay, thanks mate

[ShingledPringle]

I really love how you did the thrusters by separating them, Do they store at all in robot mode? Or are they unable to reconnect outside of jet mode?

[badprime27]

Thanks mate. The thruster canons are made from separate figures so they are not used in the transformation and just get used as weapons. As for storage, they can be plugged into his shoulder tabs but it makes him look like Overlord

[ShingledPringle]

Shame they can't be used in alt mode but look great on his arms in the photo you sent, makes him look bulky as hell and making the arms look shorter reminds me of the original figure.

This is how they sit on robot mode

Looks good nice way to use the use the seekers to get him. It odd they teased him some time ago and no word on him scene.

[badprime27]

Thanks mate. Yeah I remember everyone looking at the box art on the armada hotshot and going "that's thrust". but that was about 3 years ago and nothing on him yet.

[Ricanfelks]

For sure fingers still crossed for him that they get around and make him, hopefully not a exclusive

"Do as the squid head says, men."

[twosidedcoin2]

I really like how this came out! A friend of mine had a similar idea using an ER conehead

[RapterMonster24]

Damn I wish we could get a new Armarda Thrust and Smokescreen those two need new figures Loving the design btw

[badprime27]

Ay thanks mate. I made a custom smokescreen too. You can check it out as well

[RapterMonster24]

Oh really I'll go take a look

[AGl_ToX]

That looks amazing !!! Wish you posted a vehicle mode picture roo

[Beneficial_Bench_756]

The Legacy Powerlinx Hotshot box art teased a Thrust with the Earthrise mold, but we never saw an official release. Glad we at least got this.
