It's Draze, similar in spelling to 'blaze'. Should be easy to remember since he carries a flamethrower.

If you say so. Beyond the kama, I really don't see it to be honest...

While not actually an Attacktix custom (though one of the weapons systems COULD allow it to serve as a Mega), since phoenixflood asked me to, I thought I'd post a custom Lego mech I had created some time back known as the Dragonfire MechBasic form, none of the variable payload systems (VPS) attached. The thingypit came from an old Aquanauts set and the main parts of the lower body came from a couple different Bionicle and ExoForce sets. Typical VPS setup using the Combat VPS, Machine gun on the left arm (with extra ammo drums stored on the legs) and a manipulator arm in addition to a pair of mini-rockets and a taser cannon. The Recon VPS turns the Dragonfire Mech into a walking sensor array - even the manipulator arm (notice the extra manipulators for finer work) has a pair of mounted sensor dishes. The majority of the Dragonfire's VPS weapon options - everything from flametrowers and drills to micro-missile batteries and bunker-buster charges to Megaton Missiles and Duel-Mounted Machine Guns and more. A closer view of the Dragonfire's primary Machine Gun VPS unit. A look at the Combat VPS disconnected from the main unit with no VPS weapons added, showing a better view of the Taser Cannon and twin rockets. Several shots of the Dragonfire Mech using the Combat VPS with different weapons combinations. Again, I admit that it's not really an Attacktix custom, and if Joe or any of the mods ask me to I'll gladly take it down, but since I was asked to, I thought I'd show it off as an example of the kind of things I create when I'm not dismembering poor Attacktix figures and gluing them back together in strange combinations with new paintjobs and modified appearances. (Think I'm being a smart-ass? Wait until my Aayla Secura custom is finished...)

Yeah, thanks for putting it up. Let me know if you ever make another Aayla, I'd love to have one. That is if you're willing to trade. Awesome customs so far!

Well, I haven't even finished my first one yet, so making 'another' might be a long time coming, if I do make a second one. I don't usually make doubles of my customs unless they're easy 'army builder' types, and even then only occasionally.

Well, you can't say you didn't know this was coming, I mentioned it back on the 24th... Joe, some time back, made an Aayla Secura custom... No offense to the big guy, but I think I did him one better (if you'll excuse my ego, it hasn't been deflated recently...). My fellow players and customizers... Aayla Secura, from M03 Elektra! A lot of cutting, sanding, shapeing, drilling, triming and glueing went into this Twi'lekki Jedi - Elektra's hair was cut, and cut, and cut some more, then sanded some to form the lekku/braintails; I took an SVT Luke and cut the Lightsaber from his hand (not an easy task to get all of the hand cut off) and a Series 4 Royal Guard arm, cut off the baton (it went to another custom) and drilled out the hand until I could fit the lightsaber in it... Then, for the right arm, I took a Slave Leia that I had gotten for customizing purposes, cut both of her arm just above the elbow and glued the right forearm to the left bicep to get the arm at the right angle instead of sticking out to the side. While I used basic Leather for Aayla's outfit, her skintone was made by using Model Masters Skin Tone Base on the lekku, then going over all of the skin tone, both original and my own paint application, with Pactra Clear Blue to produce an appropriate Twi'Lek blue skintone. Tamiya Pink was used for the mouth. Part/Paint Breakdown; Head: M03 Elektra, modified, with Skin Tone Base and Clear Blue used for the skin color and Leather for the headgear. Torso/Legs: M03 Elektra, with Skin Tone Base and Clear Blue used for the skin color and Leather for the boots, top and skirt. Left Arm: SW(4) Royal Guard with SVT Luke Lightsaber, painted Leather Right Arm: SW(4) Princess Leia (Slave Leia), see above for specifics, Skin Tone Base and Clear Blue used for the skin color.
