well i'll use this thread to archive all my finished 2010 figure customs, really proud of this first one, so here it goes, my custom Marvel Universe Silver Centurion Armor Iron Man

[Excelsior07]

Beautiful, eisen! Hasbro, take note!

The bar is set, my friend, lol.

[eisen]

when SHIELD approached Tony Stark to fashion a mass produced variable threat armored suit to use against superhuman threats to national security, Stark provided SHIELD with the design template based on his own Iron Man armor, with an embedded failsafe in the system that could allow Stark to deactivate them with Negator packs should these suits be used against him or SHIELD personnel, but knowing Stark Industries has since halted weapons production, SHIELD went to weapons manufacturer Edwin Cord, CEO of Cordco. Military Mechanics.

what resulted was the "Guardsman" powered exo-suit, The armor only had the basic capabilities of the Iron Man armor. It could fly for short bursts, fire bulky wrist mounted downgraded repulsors, and had limited life support. It enabled the user to lift roughly 40 tons. several variations of it exist for specialized functions.




notes:

so here's m take on the famous Green Guardsman Armor. I used my spare PA armor iron man with ROC neo-viper head (forgot which version) gun from Agent Helix and hands from Major Bludd i think, decals are gundam decals. based it on the real life mock-up of the US infantry powered armor seen here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ered_armor.jpg

[eisen]

[Excelsior07]

Cool! You've done it again, eisen, lol.

[ludovicotek]

That Green Guardsman Armor is sweet.

[eisen]

Norman Osborn Brings down the Hammer on all who stand against his Dark Reign

enter... The Iron Patriot

[mmoote]

i think these are the best customs I've seen. Also better sculpts than many of the mass produced figures. Great job.

[Excelsior07]

Phew! Great job, eisen! Keep up the sweet customs!

[eisen]

thanks again for the kind words guys, means a lot

[eisen]

hey dudes, here's a new repaint i did of the Mk III armor based on the concept colors of Phil Saunders's movie Iron Man designs from 2006, i started off with a MkII and repainted him using tamiya chrome silver and clear acrylics, hope you guys dig

[Sentinel Prime]

Looking great. Paint is super smooth, and the metallics look perfect. I particularly like the IP and Concept IM.

[eisen]

thanks SP! future finish (or pledge wipe n' shine here) is a magical, magical thing

[Excelsior07]

Sweet! Love the Adi Granov pose, haha.

[Snowflakian]

That concept armor is interesting. Very brutish. Perfect for an armory, or brawl, but not really a personable armor. Love the transition to figure for it!

Love that guardsman too.

And the silver centurion is nigh perfection.

Iron Patriot is just all kinds of sweet too. Love how the part swap really makes him pop as an individual. That's perfection for an after Dark Reign armor if it becomes his good hero while goblin stays his bad.

yup,i was thinking about making the limbs more accurate and bulky by switching parts from other armors, but that's for another day

When corporate terrorist/hacker GHOST broke into the Stark Industries databanks, he stole several old files on the Iron Man Armor and Arc technology, selling them "under the table" to two of starks biggest business rivals, Justin Hammer and Edwin Cord, in the hope that Stark and Iron man would go after Cord and Hammer to retrieve the stolen tech.

sure enough Justin Cord had used the tech to power several individuals that he used to terrorize Stark Industries, those of whom included, Whiplash, Beetle, Constrictor and Blizzard. Cord used his tech to fund attempts at making his own Armors to sell to the US Military and even Shield, creating the FIREPOWER armor, the Raiders (armored supersoldiers in a similar vein like the Guardsmen), and funding inventor Clay Wilson into developing the FORCE armor.

with all these armored warriors sporting stolen STARKtech, Tony Stark took it upon himself to disable them and retrieve what was his, Donning his Iron Man armor and fighting the ARMOR WARS

ARMOR WARS Profile: Force



Inventor Clay Wilson was a former military engineer and veteran of the first Gulf War. when the unit he was serving in had one of their humvees taken out by an IED, Clay was one of those injured. returning from his tour of duty he began working on a system that would generate force fields which would neutralize and contain these types of weapons. but he could not get funding or interest going for his technology. Edwin Cord had seen the potential of his systems and offer to finance Wilson's operations, but secretly intended the Force tech to be used as an offensive type of weapon instead of a Defensive life-preserving mechanism. progress was slow and Clay was stuck on how to generate enough power for his Forcefield generators to effectively create a shielding grid around him... until Cord presented him with miniaturized Arc Reactor schematics (stolen from Stark Industries), outfitted with a tiny but powerful energy source work quickly progressed and Clay was able to create his FORCE armor.


upon initial testing the armor proved to be versatile and capable of dishing out as much punishment as it took, and soon plans were being made to mass produce the armor, but upon learning the applications that Cord had intended for his invention Wilson took the prototype and fled. with Cord's security personnel hot on his trail (donning guardsman units), Clay--now Force found himself in heated battle at downtown Detroit. with Tony Stark in the area, supervising the security upgrades on all stark facilities, he came across the news of a battle between Cord Security forces and an Unknown armored individual. rushing to the fight as Iron Man he quickly dispersed the Cord unit from creating any more collateral damage and swept up Force and dropping him by the outskirts of the city. seeing this as a sign of aggression Force quickly engaged Iron Man in combat,


managing to hold his own but eventually Iron Man gained the upper hand, damaging his Chest armor, Iron Man discovered a miniature Arc Reactor Assembly that had been powering Force's armor. when force finally surrendered and explained everything to Iron Man, starting from his integrating Stolen tech from Cord, the Cord Guardsmen forces had found both of them and began to attack, joining together, Force and Iron Man were able to beat down their assailants and escape. later in his Long Island facilities Tony Stark analyzed the Force Armor, and took Wilson to work with him in developing Negator Packs, knowing too well the intentions of GHOST, he began planning his battle to hunt and disable all illegal and deadly use of his technology .


notes: so i attempted to make an updated look for the classic force armor from the old comics, used a accelerator suit ripcord as a base, modded MU modern Iron man head, and PA armor hands. hope you guys like

[tiger007]

Out Friggin Standing tho the S.H.I.E.L.D. one has to be the best of these.

[eisen]

cheers guys, needed something to pick me up after i had an accident with ironpool:

[Archienj7]

Lookin really good. Takes some real talent to work on the smaller figures.

[Excelsior07]

Again, I love that design, lol.

[TheSymbiote]
