Legacy United Thundertron

Time flies! I have not been posting since 2017?!

Ah Thundertron. I have no idea who he is, A quick search reveals he is a merciless peg-legged space pirate. Cool! 

Merciless Space Pirate Mode - Arrrrrrr... complete with a gold-rimmed Hat.

His alternate mode looks like a shield liger and I wanted to see if I can mod the lion head to be able to move left and right like the kotobukiya wild liger.

The pins of the Thundertron is fixed such that the head can only look ahead, without lateral articulation . To have neck articulation, I would have to remove the pins at the head and neck joints and the thin white plastic would definitely break. Oh well, as it is, he looks great with lots of detailing. He is just lacking in paint, which is easily fixed by paint markers and some minor panel lining. 

Wild Liger Mode

Robot Mode

His gigantic 80's shoulder pads do limit his arm movements unless you move them away. He has no waist articulation and wrist articulation is hampered by his fixed wrist claws. All in all, he can pull off decent poses. I got him for his liger mode, his robot mode is ok. And he looks great for a space pirate --ARRR.... complete with a gold-rimmed Hat.
