This is a friend's character from a sadly defunct Superhero project at another board I frequent. Basically a gigantic, not-too-bright nuclear-powered cyborg.
This was his original look as he'd done it on Fabrica De Herois, a portuguese flash-based character creator:
When FdH went through an upgrade, I tried my own twist on the design, evening out the proportions and giving the skull a toothless robotic look (as was my friend's original intent on his design):
As for the custom itself:
I used a Metanoid figure from this new "Redakai" toyline, which I'd originally bought to try and make the more mecha-like Metallo before deciding to stick with my "Terminator" one.
The silver was all covered in gunmetal, and I used clear green to do the metallic green parts. The panel lining and rivet holes were all done in a bright green to show the energy flowing through him. I followed the creator's directions for what parts went green and what parts stayed gunmetal.
The bubble dome came from an Imaginext Superman figure, with the claw and tube cut off. I dyed it in green (because Warhead's robot skull is supposed to be swimming in a green fluid of sorts) but it came out more smokey black.
If you've fiddled with a Metanoid in store (or even bought one), you'll know these guys have an INCREDIBLY powerful LED in their backs to shine a light through their chest. That thing is bright, every time I accidentally turned it on in my eyes I'd see spots for minutes. Didn't want to kill the gimmick outright, so I cut out a square of post-it paper and insterted it in the back slot (you're supposed to put a clear sheet of plastic with a graphic printed on it to shine an "attack" on the wall or something), to drown out the brightness and give it a yellow glow. The creator chose to repurpose this gimmick as him "powering up" when he needs more juice to fight superheroes:
All in all, I'm really happy with this one. Although it's meant for my personal collection, I wanted to make sure it was something its creator would whole-heartedly approve of, and he was more than impressed with it.
Final pic: Battle of the atomic!
Hopefully in the future I'll be able to bring more characters from this superhero universe to DCIH-compatible life!
