Title: PoC MOBAT with Steeler
Post by: Oreobuilder on September 09, 2010, 10:05:52 PM
I had a few hours to kill, so I decided to throw together a PoC-inspired version of the MOBAT and it's driver.

Feel free to comment....  :-)

Impressive, looks good enough to be a factory job (ok, maybe better than factory...).  Love the armaments too: double gatling guns, two manned guns, Timbit's axe ;D and the main cannon!

I can tell that the Gatling guns are from the Whirlwind, but I'm not sure about the plow on the front...

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it.  :)

I was inspired by Transformers G1 Brawl, my favorite Combaticon. I didn't realise until after I added the front plow that it also looked like Brawl/Devastator from the first TF movie.

The tank is from PTE (Power Team Elite). I picked up a few last year when they came to Hart stores (in Quebec). Here is the recipe:

Tank: PTE
Center Plow: RoC Steel Crusher
Mine Guards (side spikes): left and right hair clippers
Gattling gun: Whirlwind
Machine gun: VvV CP Roadblock

Steeler:
Body, arms, legs, hands: RoC desert Duke
Head: 25th Duke
Helmet: Airborne
Webgear: 25th Hawk

Now that you said the plow was from RoC Steel Crusher, I can see the beard trimming combs on either side of it.  Well Done, again.  I can't wait to see more.

I love any homage to the Original 13 - but this one is a great update on Steeler.

In the movie, it's called Devastator. This was a mistake, it was supposed to be Brawl (a homage to the G1 Combaticon). The toy is called Brawl. Here is the explaination according to Wikipedia:

''There is some mix-up over his name: the toys and video games list his name as Brawl, but in the film itself, and the official movie novelization, his name is Devastator. He refers to himself as Devastator in the movie subtitles. According to Roberto Orci, one of the writers of the movie, and Hasbro's Transformers team, "Devastator" is the mistake, and that the character is supposed to be named Brawl. The official names of all the Transformers seen in the film were confirmed in August 2006, nearly a year before the film's North American release date. However, director Michael Bay was not fully aware of these names and sometimes referred to some of them by their "on-set names". (He said in an interview, that he often referred to Frenzy as "Soundbyte".) Thus, on-set he would refer to the tank Decepticon as "Devastator". Somehow, the name made its way into the final cut of the film. Director Michael Bay favored the name Devastator, as he felt that it sounded more threatening than Brawl. [2] The early leaked script Prime Directives had him named Devastator, as does the Titan U.K. magazine. Concept art for the character named him "Demolishor", as the name Brawl (in concept art) went to Barricade. In Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the name "Devastator" is given to the robot created from the combining Constructicons, as is the case in previous Transformers continuities.''

they should've called him Quake. he looks more like Quake than Brawl. plus which, then they could bring in the Combaticons in a later movie without having already used and killed Brawl...

although, of course, they still can do that...

should've fixed the subtitle on the DVD though...
