G1 Seeker - flamethrower from mtmte 1
 

Yo! Please, have some Energon and make yourself at home.

I found myself wanting to make a Seeker custom. I wanted someone from the show for canons sake, but someone that hadn't been worked on that I'd seen.

I was rewatching mtmte a couple of nights back and saw this cool guy with a flamethrower:

I don't think he has an offical name in the fandom that I could find, so I have dubbed him Wildfire, as the first seekers all had two part names. I don't think there's another Wildfire in the TF lore either. Please correct me if I'm wrong.


I had found what I was Seeking!

I wanted him to look as much like the screen version as possible, but that meant making him very simple in color. I tried to mix it up a bit with some panel lining of a different shade of purple, and I tried to mix it up in the areas that you couldn't see in the scene. I was afraid he'd look like Skywarp, so I left as much purple as I could to offset any blacks.

Painted by hand using Testors MMA and stickers from reprolabels!

The flamethrower was built using a gun from an Energon figure, hand made flames, and a tank from my bin. The tank is removable and connects using a tiny rare earth magnet. The null rays were modified to allow full arm range movement as well.

Thanks for your time!

Nice job!

I get kind of a TFA Thundercracker vibe from him, but maybe it's just that shade of purple. Are you going to do the one on the right in your source pic?

looks cool
