When Viper created his Order 66 Predator people said in his critique that it would have been cooler as a Sith with the light Ki'cti-pa (double blade wrist knife). I loved that concept and decided to convert the Microman Predator.

Bio
Darth Setg'-in was a Yautja warrior, better known throughout the galaxy as Predators. While stalking the crazed Mung'tra he encountered Darth Plagueis who was in the middle of torturing a victim for information. The young Yautja dropped his hunt and began stalking Darth Plagueis. Plagueis was able to sense the Predator and thus was able to turn the hunter into the hunted by leading him into a trap. Plagueis then gave the Predator a choice, either become his apprentice in the Dark Side or die. Darth Setg'-in was a cunning and powerful Sith capable of taking on hoards of enemies at a time. His Dark Force powers only amplified his already aggressive nature and made his fighting skills that much more dangerous. However, his bloodlust became so great that Darth Plagueis had to put him down before Setg'-in was completely consumed by the dark powers and became unstoppable.

EDIT: Made two Vader tweaks to this custom. 1st, I added Vader's front mask to the Predator mask. 2nd I added Vader's belt controls to the waist to make them a little wide and to break up the armor a bit.

Very cool. I've got one planned myself when I get a set of blades from John.

that is really #*($&'n cool. i like the shorter lightsaber blades, it's a nice change after seeing the longer ones that hasbro has been putting out to let figure compensate for, ahem, shortcomings.

Great bio, great figure-'nuff said.

Very cool, but he *really* needs the Maul/Talon tattoos, man.

Very cool...I love the concept....Other than the base figure being too skinny...especially at the waist, I'd only make a few tweeks.

I could go either way with the Sith Tattos...I'm ok without them...but they would look pretty cool.

I'd love to see the hunting mask modded a bit to look more like Vader's Mask...you know...just a touch of Homage.

I think the only thing that really irks me is the Saber-staff...not sure how useful the blades would be with those extra tines.... that and having read that longer, larger Dual Bladed Light Saber's are weiled by larger, stronger fighters....shorter smaller blades are used by slighter and lighter Forces users.

I was expecting a custom of Chris Hansen

Great work on the Pred P.

Stop looking at my plans...

He looks good pluv, and i can definitely see a predator going over to the darkside just by they nature. The light saber is irremediably cool looking. Awesome job all around..

Poor Dutch, he never stood a chance....

I thought about that, but I liked the armor too much to ditch it. It would have covered up about 95% of the tattoo. If you can't see it there isn't a point in having it. If I were to do another one I would strip him down to the basic alien look and then do the tattoo. With all the gear I don't think he needs it.

I kid of course. What is funny about that is the the skirt is covering thigh pads and actually makes the hips even wider. Not that I don't agree with you I'm just saying the skirt bulks him up a bit. I bet a snap kit down like this would look 10 times better.

I only left it on because it reminded me of Vader's mask. I'll see about converting the front of it to match Vader's rebreather.

It is weird that the dual lightsaber is getting so much attention. It was kind of a last minute addition. While making the custom I noticed I had that McFarlane staff in my parts box and decided to add it since Predators already have it in their arsenal. I see the double wrist sabers as being his main lightsaber while the dual lightsaber is a back up piece. The movies and comics always show the Predators using the wrist gaunlet blades more then the staff.

Just love the idea and ill try to do a Predator with a complete different base..I only need a Good head..thats the real problem.

that's true. could maybe make the blades look longer by shortening the middle section somehow & using regular length blades? both? 20 different versions to make everyone happy?!?

Check the first post for a small tweak I did to incorporate more Star Wars elements.

I like the new mask, gives him a more Sith-like feel.
