My entry is sort of a cheap build but I like to think it is decent.

I have some pics to add

I'll be doing my best to attend. Hard to miss out on an event that is like 12 Hummers racing down a busy street drag racing.

I created a Starscream costume. Not totally finished tweaking it yet.

You will be missed. I loved the fact that you always talked to the players with honesty.

Thank you for all the compliments.

I would have posted yours DB but I wanted to let you post it yourself. That and Megatron is always trying to hold Starscream down. :P

I should start off by saying this is for fans of the classic Transformers not those Michael Bay abominations. I made a costume for Optimus and Megatron

I'm looking for ideas on how to create a few other decent ones particularly Soundwave.

You know both these gentlemen. Gideon Fontaine the gentleman **** kicker in the black suit using martial arts and swords to take out bad guys across Paragon, The Rogue Isles, and now Praetoria.

Then there is Neil Fracas the one man wrecking crew and if he has a problem where he has to take the fight to the streets he is perfectly content to take the street to the bad guys overhand style.

I've had a bit of ring time with most of the power sets barring Ice Armor. Some of the sets I've only played in Brute/Scrapper form so a Tank is going to be more sturdy.

Will Power: It has a lot of pluses combining good defense, regen, and resistance. Probably one of the most powerful sets. However while it does several things good it doesn't specialize like other sets. One problem I had was it lacks a reactive/click heal. If you start taking a huge amount of burst damage you need a green or 3. The regeneration paired with either resistance or defense to the dmg types coming at you should serve you very well.

Invuln: A personal favorite. This is capable of doing many amazing things due to the defense boost of Invincibility. However your resists don't allow you to soak any non S/L dmg for very long. Dull Pain is one of the better heals giving you a good heal and a great increase in max HP for a decent amount of time. The Tier 9 Unstoppable is 3 minutes of godhood with a near death experience when the 3 min expires. Amazing if you are used to near death experiences with Scraps, Blasters, Brutes.

Stone: With Granite, Rooted, and Earth Embrace if you get killed you were playing extremely stupidly. There is nothing any other powerset could have done better. The drawbacks of course are the lack of jumping and you don't become nearly impossible to kill until you reach level 32 plus and start slotting Granite.

Dark: It doesn't get a lot of love which is sad considering that it gets very high resistance. Base 30% to all but Toxic and the Psi Resist is 50%. There are mez effects. Opp Gloom with a disorient, CoF with fear, and a stealth power which prevents a lot of things from shooting you. It is vulnerable to Knockback so you will NEED either Acrobatics or IO KB resistance. It has one of the best heals and if you click it in a mob you should always get back full health. Dark Regen needs to be slotted well though because the end cost is brutal.

The ones I skipped.

Shield/Ice: Luck based isn't something I'd use for tanking because you have no control over when you get hit. You can make it so they have to hit high numbers several times in a row but you will get hit several times in a row and have no idea when that will be. When you tank you are rolling the dice so many times you will get hit and it will likely be often.

Fire/Elec: You have to take the damage on the chin hoping you outlive the guys damaging you. Not great but the "Utility" powers are why most players take the sets rather then tanking ability. I am aware both Elec and Fire can tank but there are no sets that can't do the same job better IMHO.

I've seen people that can create heroclix from scratch with a basic body and green sculpting material. I have no where near that skill.

My sculpts are largely limited by the materials I have and repainting skill. Luckily large breasted heroines are very common in the comic world and that makes coming up with mods a lot easier. I can do a lot of franken sculpting. It is amazing what you can do with the proper parts. I made a Nightcrawler teleporting through a wall.

The basic parts I used were

Finished the Infernal. Plus I made a modified BAB. I figure if the Praetorians can get an overhaul so can BAB. Hes big, hes bald, hes a bad mamma jamma.

http://www.arscoh.com/v/Gideon+Fonta...al+and+BAB.jpg

Plus if I painted on hair it would be unfair to BAB. Men don't spray hair on their head.

This figure is going to be my base for Infernal.

I'll be repainting him, Replacing the Axe in his right hand with one that closer resembles the axe he uses and trying to find an appropriate set of Bat Wings.

Not sure what Dial I'll end up using yet but leaning towards the Hammer of Thor uncommon Ulik. It hits hard, It moves slow, It has crappy armor class, and is very hard to hurt. If that isn't Infernal I'm not sure what dial would be more accurate.

I've added dials that fit the chrs. For example I have Professor Zoom and Flash as dials for Synapse. Rampaging Hulk for Back Alley Brawler. Thor for Statesman. I think I have Ms Marvel for Miss Liberty.

Not entirely accurate because I put Grimlock on a dial. Grimlock shooting Statesman kind of makes me smile a bit. Scale wise a heroclix figure is the same height as Grimlock's knee.

I'm kinda indifferent to the whole issue. I can see the need to keep things on point when there are over 100 people in the channel and there are people trying to get things done. However I don't think it is as important when nothing is going on at the time. Then again I'm not in charge and the internet is not America so freedom of speech is a privilidge and not a right.

As for the kick I'll say this. Anyone could have seen that kick coming and avoided it if they really wanted to avoid it. Only a crazy person pops their heads up when they know it's whack a mole time and they see a guy standing there with a sledge hammer.

In my defense copy and paste can only get so much.

[BMT of Champion]XxBudvveiser8xX: woooooooooow
[BMT of Champion]XxBudvveiser8xX: silenced for asking that? really?
[BMT of Champion]AngieB: Yes really
[BMT of Champion]XxBudvveiser8xX: wow
[BMT of Champion]White Hot Flash: why are you still here, bud, if you've got your own sandbox?
[BMT of Champion]AngieB: for real
[BMT of Champion]Cobalt Azurean: Here, Bud. I'll take care o' this for you.
[BMT of Champion]@XxBudvveiser8xX has been kicked from channel 'BMT of Champion' by @Cobalt Azurean

Drunken ITF for the win. I was on my Claws/WP and I think I was responsible for getting the entire TF hammered.
