Simple Superion Maximus Upgrade

[ispayks]

Saw this on you tube and thought it looks alot better than the original. All it takes is a Crossover Hulk and less than 20 mins of your time. Simple and easy upgrade. Now to repaint in G1 colors.:)

Now that I have Bruticus its time to try this on him. Its in early stages, I need to secure the arms a bit better and find out how to mount the feet.

Sweet!... Now that's putting that gray hulk to use.. Ive seen a couple around (havent gone cheap though)... Might give this a look see IICBB:D:D. How are those parts secured though exactly? Cheers.

[bruticus]

very cool.
any chance you can upload some more pics of how you connected the parts together?

[ispayks]

Thanks Guys!

As requested photos of connections. Hopefully someone will come up with a better idea but this suits me fine for now.

Firstly disassemble hulk. You dont need to break any part so if your not happy with the custom you can always put him back together.;)

Leg connections

You need to remove the guns under the cockpit of Sky Shadow and Terradive. Just plug and play after removing them.

You can add a peg to the front of the leg for better stability. I will be using the peg from the energon weapon that came with Sky Shadow and Terradive.

Arm connections

I used the energon chip as the connector. Drill a hole in the middle of the energon chip. I used 2 flat head screws 3/16"(1.5cm to 2cm) and 6 3/16" nuts to secure hulk's arm to the energon chip.

See photos for reference.

I bought a Hulk figure MOSC from Gumtree yesterday for $15. I have another one coming from Tropisetron.

Now I need to find a Bruticus Maximus to apply the same upgrade.

[bruticus]

wicked. thanks for uploading pics of the connection system and adding a description/tutorial for the rest of us to try.
the mod looks simple yet very effective. well done!

[Sky Shadow]

That is the most ingenious thing I've seen here in living memory, and heaps better than a third-party option.

[kup]

That is very clever and it looks amazingly good too.

[jaydisc]

Very clever. Well done.

[Hursticon]

Wow! :eek:
Even though I'm a proud owner of the FP Upgrade kit, this is thoroughly impressive Ispayks - A bloody top job mate! ;):cool:

[1AZRAEL1]

It is very cool, makes him look super bulky and towering. Though I still prefer the FP upgrade because he looks more sleek. But this looks great.

[ispayks]

Thanks to the parra fair I managed to pick up a set of Bruticus. Applied the same hulk concept although its not as easy as Superion. I posted a couple of photos on the first post. Ill upload more photos once its finished. Thanks for looking!

[1AZRAEL1]

Well done, he looks even more hulk-ing than Superion :p
