This week's TNI Cool Custom is of a Transformers G1 Devastator byKingBotz.
Here is how KingBotz describes the making of this figure:
"Like many other Transformers fans out there, since childhood I was always fascinated by the harmony and power of a well-proportioned giant that a team of robots could exhibit in combined form...it seemed so natural. I am the original creator of the Tonka-based Devastator, and I began this challenging journey 3 years ago with my first version of G-1 Devastator featured at Botcon 2006. I have since evolved my depiction of this character with a new one, telling a totally different story with a revised face, colors and articulation at over 5' tall. I'm compelled once again to pay tribute to the classic, impending, destructive character everyone knows as G-1 Devastator. Everything but the Tonka trucks themselves is scratch-built. "
Tonka anything is amazing in my book! I used to have one of those heavy duty Tonka dumb trucks, the yellow ones made of metal. That thing survived through my childhood and my siblings' childhoods.
