[CUSTOM] Custom Fortress Maximus

Hey everyone,

This is a recent commission I finished up from a returning customer of mine. He's an awesome guy!
Anyway, this was inspired and is my take of Corvus's Fortress Maximus.

Client wanted the "same thing" so I took C Metroplex, and put my spin on the project. The ramps are retractable, and the tower opens up to expose the "docking bay" for planes to land on. There's lots of little cool features on this custom, like the LED laser light that's a lamp post in city mode, but attached to the city mode's crane and forms a giant kick ass gun for the robot mode.

I also painted up 5 minicons, these guys were a paint to transform and detail. tiny tiny brush did the trick. I will have more pics on my site very soon, including close ups of the minicon robot modes.

Um... uhhh....

Anyone got a spare pair of underwear? I think I just did 3 things at once.

That is outstanding! I just enjoy the mountain of extras you put into a project that makes it really jump out. And the color choices are brilliant as always.

I figured, I just can't afford much right now sadly with Winsor Newton Gouche Paint right now for school being a requirement (2-4 tubes is 57 dollars USD at times X_X). And I really wouldn't know what to give as an idea as Springer right now since I have been still trying to bash my own out of the Nightwatch Prime lol.

I think my custom Springer out of Wreckage turned out pretty well, if that helps.

One question, FR. How did you make the towers and gun?

Second question. What is that plane on Fortress' docking bay?

The plane's a custom Sonar Minicon.

I´ve figured out the weapon... it´s the minicon gimmick supporting crane/ cannon thingy taken from transformers armada smokescreen.

Nice work as always Frenzy_Rumble...

Your work always seems to make me drool when i look on their awesomeness. I´ve looked at many of your projects and each of them hasn´t failed to impress me except for perhaps maybe one of your protectobot cuctoms.
