HF Revamp- Meltdown

[Cirkit]

"Attention Heroes! Criminally insane villain Meltdown has escaped prison, and is out on the loose reeking havoc! Somehow after the breakout he was upgraded, given a new meteor launcher, and armor extremely resistant to heat and cold. Find a gap or a weak spot, and take him down!"

So yeah, I decided to make a revamp, new-system style, of our old yellow pal Meltdown. Nothing special much here; I just simply looked at his official and animated versions, and went from there. Before anyone mentions it, yes, I do realize that the tentacle is orange, and not lime green. That is because I could not locate the piece fast enough, and I wanted to get this up ASAP, so I wouldn't dismantle it before taking photos of the creation. So here ya go.

Front

Back

I should also note, I used the Toxic Reapa-style for the torso. I had plans to to other things to it, but this just looked the best.

Also also, I apologize for the blurryness. Hopefully you can make out the detail on the first pic.. :/

Tell me what you think of it. Feedback and advice is welcome. :)

I'm surprised of how well the old and new pieces blend together. Great moc, except for the tentacle, but you couldn't help that. Keep up the good work!

[Front]

I like how you gave him a huge back, pushing the head even further forward.

[ZORK64]

I agree with Front. The hunchback works fantastic for Meltdown.

The Ben 10 claw on his left arm fits also pretty good.

Overall, I like this MOC. Will you post updated pics of it?

[Nightcruise]

Nice update, I do like the first picture. Almost looks like he's screaming at one of the heros.

[Cirkit]

Thanks all for the comments, I really appreciate it :)

@BoneHead74 Thank you very much. I honestly thought the Meltdown head would look stick out like a sore thumb on this body, but I am just as surprised as you are at how well they blend. This new system really is great.

@Front 8D Thanks! I wasn't going to do it at first, but the back looked so gappy.. I'm thrilled that you like it. Thanks

@Zork64 Thanks. It was the look I was going for, I'm glad it worked so well.

I agree.. It looks more 'evil' than a standard Hero hand..

I will post new pictures of it the moment I can find that green tentacle.. and some other parts.

and @Nightcruise Thanks. I did intend to have more pictures up, such as one with Melty going up against a Hero, but my camera battery died. :/

Until I find that tentacle, I'll be working on some other things.. notably, Xplode.

Great job!

[Cirkit]

Thank you!

I'm still hunting for that green tentacle(it's an elusive one, that tentacle) , and I'm making progress on my next build.

[ZORK64]

I'm looking forward to see your revamp of XPlode!

[Cirkit]

Thanks Zork64. Xplode is indeed in progress, I've finished up most everything but the torso. I'm having difficulty deciding on a torso-armor piece.. I think I may have to get creative with this one.

Pictures should be up within the next week.

:)

EDIT: I've completed Xplode, pictures should be up by tomorrow.

SECOND EDIT: Sorry for the delay, I've been trying to keep myself preoccupied with things lately, and that damn tentacle.. No matter, I'll upload the Xplode pics and update the Baddie pics sometime next week. Again, very sorry for the delay. :/
