The behind the scenes look at Legacy United continues. Today we have a look at Chase, our first new mold Generations update of a Rescue bots character.
“Make room on the shelf for this analytical do gooder, Legacy United Deluxe Rescue Bot Chase is ready to arrest some decepticreeps!

I worked on this stern fellow with the amazing legend Kunihiro san! The magic that the Takara designers perform is hard to capture in words.

So a ways back at one of the Botcon’s I had the opportunity to do some sketches for fans at the Hasbro booth. I was really surprised how many people requested Rescue Bot characters. It always sat in the back of my mind as a thing I would love to do. The show is for a certain age group but honestly, its quite entertaining for all. Imagine older versions or graduated bots that have moved up in the autobot ranks and get to actually receive orders from Optimus. I hope a few of you have had that vision and dream of these great characters moving up into the big boy toys! What other perfect time then the 40th anniversary to accomplish these cool things in Transformers land.

I thought it essential to give him his energon capture claw to really lean into the character persona, but I also didn’t want him to be left with no blasters just in case things got hairy. The ability to take off each of the claw hooks and use them as some daggers in some tight hand to hand combat I felt was also necessary. After all, we are trying protect and serve the Autobot cause here and lets face it, Decepticons like Bludgeon definitely don’t play fair.

Deco and colors for this guy was really hard to accomplish due to the amount of different tint colors on him, I really enjoy how the two tone lightbar came out in production
.
Don’t forget to break out the other rescue big boy bots, cause standing alongside Red Alert here really makes me want to dig into some more. I couldn’t find my Medix so maybe next time those two can hang out, maybe get a coffee and a 🍩! 😎

Let me know whose the next big want for another Rescue bot team member and don’t forget to watch the 10/27 event with the @bmacatron84 and me!!!”
