None really good, some pretty bad, two reused. At least Prime and Megatron are decent.

My only real problem with Terminator: Salvation is that the publicity machine did its damnedest to kneecap the movie. They give away the big plot twist in pretty much every ad, while the movie itself is very careful not to give it away to the viewer until the characters know as well. Also, the publicity machine makes it out that this is a John Connor movie, when he's really just supporting cast. (Oh, and an aside: the 4" scale John Connor figure with the bandana over the face isn't Connor, it's a different character. They musta repurposed it at the last minute to give more Connor toys.)

The original art still exists, and is crap. :) So I drew a new version, with some design tweaks. The basic premise is that he's me, seven years older (so that he was 25 at the time I created him in April 1989) and with powers. His costume is "real clothing", a kick I was on that season. Just a red shirt, black pants and shoes, some wraparound shades and a bandolier to hold his gadgets. The original powerset had him only able to create droplets of solar plasma, which he could throw at people in a pinch, but preferred to use to power his supertech, like the laser torch he's trying to reload while some inconsiderate person is shooting at him. Later on, he figured out how to internalize the power and built a supersuit to give him flight and protection during times he had to power down. I might draw an update of that too, since I don't have any recent pics of it.
