Last week, my Rad/Rad Defender, Smeltdown, hit 20, and got her cape and 2nd costume slot.

I haven't done anything with it, because I can't come up with anything I like.

The only costume parts I don't have for her are the ones from TFs (Katie, Imperious, etc.), Wedding Pack, Super Booster III: Science, and anything from Vet Rewards higher than 39 Months.

I'm kind of going with a Positron-like background, in that she needs to stay in her suit to contain her radiation.

So, if you have any cool ideas for a powersuit/robot costume, please feel free to post them! Here's her current costume:

Her alternate form needs to be an explosion. Would be so awesome.

cept no auras yet...

okay I'll take a crack at it.



Thicker more powerful armor. as her powers grow she needs more protection.

I personally dislike capes on tech armor. but Meh thats me. and gah the screencapture was slow and missed the boots on the passive stance shot. you get the idea.

I saved the costume file of the finished...I can send it to you if you want or you can deduce the pieces...

good luck with the new costume...I have a great idea for an another alternate look when you unlock the auras that is.

Sure, you can PM it to me.

And I'm going to try to get Auras tonight...

Well, you could upload it somewhere, and then send me a link via PM, but I'll PM you my e-mail address instead. Probably a lot quicker.

*turns back and facepalms for forgetting you can't PM just anything*

Probably...and My only wish that my idea inspired you to make your own..

but if you use the exact costume I wouldn't mind that either.

Either way I wanna see screenies of the finished product.

Well, you could PM a costume file's contents. All you'd have to do is open up the costume file in notepad and select it all and copy and paste it into a PM, then the recipient would just open up notepad and paste it into there and save it out as a costume file. Should work, no?

Maybe. But I'm too lazy to find out.

I made some tweeks. I went with Robo Arm 2 for the Torso. I also removed the extra stuffs on the helmet. I don't generally like any of those parts.

I also ditched the cape for this costume.



Thanks, Scoots! Now to attempt to hit 30 and get auras...

looks sharp...I'll send ya the other idea I had

 

Posted

Hmm...oh right....3rd costume slot.

actually the idea I had should be more of an ultimate form...

you got an idea of what see looks like under the helmet..that would help with another idea I have for a what would happen if she lost her helmet or her armor breached

Not sure what you will make of this, kinda went for the more slim look.

Yeah, I was thinking that for the final costume, she'd be able to come out of her armor. So, the 4th slot would allow her to be like Positron in Steel Canyon, and remove her helmet.

Interesting. It looks like you combined elements of my costume and Scooter's. I like it!
