SDCC Combaticons – Bruticus UPDATE

Well, I received several inquires about transforming Blast Off into Bruticus’ flame thrower arm cannon.   I meant to post this within the actual Bruticus post but it slipped my mind.  So lets get into it –

Here’s the arm cannon/flame thrower in question from the game:

And here is the basic, mostly agreed upon version of the arm cannon using Blast Off’s toy:

It’s relatively easy – From shuttle mode, you un-tab the rear wings, and open the panels so that the black panels here are parallel.

So basically you get this:

Its really not bad, everything is lined up like the game model, at least as best as you could ask for.   My only issue is that it’s basically hollow:

So what I did was use a part I picked up with a set of weapons as the inner body of the cannon:

So we have this:

Far from perfect, but  it looks better for sure!  The only problem the blue of the inner plastic –

But I’m sure I can put some kind of reprolabel in there to make it red/orange or something.  We’ll see.

So there we go, that’s Bruticus’ weapon arm.

Finally, here’s a fancy pants picture to end it all on a nice note!
