(Flame is a renegade Autobot from the Marvel portion of the Generation 1 (1988)...)
Yes he looks a lot like Rodimus but no relation!
Flame is a disgraced Autobot scientist, and with fairly good reason. His brilliance is overshadowed by an obliviousness to risk as he stubbornly pursues his grandiose ideas. His sole concern with other beings is whether they think he's right and if they don't, he only becomes more obsessed with accomplishing his goals, no matter who or what must be sacrificed. This has driven him to an eons-long reclusion spent secretly enacting his master plan. On the rare occasion when he actually has contact with others, his mannerisms are flamboyant and histrionic, and he is never without either a grin or a grimace.
This project took quite a bit of tooling and fabrication. All body flame 3D armor made with craft foam. Armor was layered to separate the colors bring more depth to the figure. Hoses are made from sealed alaminum foil. Both the Legs were cut and extended , feet were molded using polymorph thremo Plastic.
Painted with Testors model paint, sealed with DecoArt All purpose sealer.
