He doesn't say what the six needed Transformers are??

Leozack (chest) looks like Classic Jetfire
Gaihawk/Hellbat (the two arms) are Classic Starscream
Jarugar (lower torso) maybe Classics Prime?
Killbision (the right leg) looks like Energon Blight
Drillhorn (the left leg) looks like Classics Astrotrain

I would like to see if they look good separate as well as combined, but eitherway it's nice & clever work.

[jaydisc]

The torso looks like it's got a bit of Mirage and you can see a bit of Mirage behind the head too. But I'm seeing the Classic Prime wheels too.

Does anyone remember hearing about this anywhere else besides here? Pulse, surely you know where to find it? ;)

[Paulbot]

Hmm looking again I think you are right about the torso being Mirage, not Prime. Liokaiser is written on Mirage's spoiler that you can see at the hips, and I'd say those wheels are Mirage's.

Someone mentioned my name? ;):)

This kitbash is actually about a year & a half old in design & here's Wheeljaxx's original thread: www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=125065

Scroll down this page for pics of the 6 individual bots & their alt modes:

If I can recall, He originally planned to make a limited production of this gestalt for various interested parties. If I'm right, Liokaiser was his favourite G1 Character (besides Soundwave) but he never could actually get his hands on one - so he built this one instead :). He was hoping to swap his custom for an actual G1 Liokaiser at Botcon 2007 (or something like that) but that never took place so he's been slowly collecting the various components of Liokaiser instead. Word back then was that Wheeljaxx was going to kitbash a couple & stop at that.

I hadn't heard much more about Wheeljaxx's Classic Liokaiser since then... (I can also recall that he was planning to make a Classics Deathcobra too :) - I'm not sure how that eventuated).

It's all classics.

2 Starscream mould, Mirage, Jetfire, Astrotrain and the 2 pack versus tank Megatron.

Thanks Pulse. I knew you were the man for the job.

Would you, or someone else, mind quoting me the post numbers you're referring to in that thread? My prefs for tfw2005, like posts per page, must be different from yours as those pages yield no pics for me.

Hope that helps :)

[jaydisc]

Holy @#$%

:eek: That's just nine different kinds of amazing! :eek:

[Pulse]

Let the word be spread far & wide...

If you're looking for a particular TF custom, just ask Pulse - He'll find it for you (Hell, that's one of the few things he's actually good for :D)

[dirge]

How ridiculously awesome!

So... that conversation about self-control we had...

[Soundwarp]

Yeah i don't like the idea of doing it through ebay, i've got mates on TFW that i'd be more than happy to pay for stuff.

[jaydisc]

Oh & have you guys seen Redline's Classic Menasor?

That's pretty cool too, but I find Lio and the 2 x recent Devestators to be a better.


So... that conversation about self-control we had...

No lack of self-control is going to make $300 magically appear ;) You're the custom lovin' man.... 'Twon't fit in your plastic case though :p

[sifun]

Awesome custom
haha jaydisc must be salivating right now.

[Pulse]

Come on Jay, you know you can't resist... :D

Liokaiser would be the pride of your collection! People would come from far & wide just to bask in his awesomeness! (You could even pass him down in years to come... ah screw that, I'd wanna be buried with him! :confused::D)

[STL]

I'd actually be all over this if I could track down all the figures. As it stands it's a bit too expensive to chase down an extra seeker. It's a wonderful price though. Wait... actually....

[STL]

The deed is done.

[jaydisc]

Congrats!

[roller]

how ugly

just like the original

[Paulbot]

Just checked out the pics at TFW2005. Jetfire makes a great Leozack and turning Astrotrain into a drill tank is very clever.

[iceburn]

The deed is done.

gosh..u are serious!! :P
wish you good luck....

[kup]

I have been looking at pics and it is indeed tempting, its so good!

The hardest figure to track down is probably Tank Megatron, the others can be fairly easy.

Aye and it means I've now found Classics Nosecone too! :D

[sifun]

Tank Megatron is a crappy figure. Optimus that came with it is another crappy figure. I don't know why I bothered to buy it. *smacks head into desk*

[jaydisc]

Here's your perfect opportunity to sell it :D

[STL]

Here's your perfect opportunity to sell it :D

*innocent pleading eyes*

[dirge]

Hey, I like Tank Megatron. Aside from the stupid weapon.

And Kup, you have a real Liokaiser. Don't be greedy! :p

[jaydisc]

OK Folks. He's put another one up! Any takers?

Nope, not yet. I'll ask him if he doesn't contact me by the end of the month but I'm pretty confident he'll come through.

[lcz128]

ooookay... I need a source for figures if I am to go through with this... :\ I have a jetfire ready, but I lack the others! crap!

[Pulse]

Looking back at the dates of his original thread on TFW, It looks like he completed his original in a little under 2 months.

So now that he knows what he's doing, It might even be a bit quicker than that.

Word is he's got a good rep so it looks like everything will come out sweet... :)

[jaydisc]

ooookay... I need a source for figures if I am to go through with this... :\ I have a jetfire ready, but I lack the others! crap!

I can give you a Mirage with which you can replace from RK when I order next month.

That way, between yours and STL's, I will own ONE THIRD of LioKaiser!!!

[lcz128]

What ARE the figures required? :o

1x Jetfire
2x Screamer
1x Mirage
1x MegatronTank
1x Astrotrain(Thanks Jay)

Listing Removed.... :rolleyes:

[iceburn]

hmmm what happened? isit illegal on ebay to do such post?

[jaydisc]

Possibly, it was quite a bizarre listing. It was for only $1 with $149 shipping so it would avoid eBay's Final Value fees. Also, it was only half payment.

[jaydisc]

He's put another two up! (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/705-53470-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5336043815&toolid=10001&customid=&ext=220268762753&item=220268762753)

As these are now priced at $150 it looks like eBay did take exception to the style of his original listing.

[lcz128]

ooh boy. here we go...

[iceburn]

eh?? has he finished STL's????

[jaydisc]

Congrats! Maybe you can get combined shipping. :D

[STL]

eh?? has he finished STL's????

I got a reply from him a few weeks ago now. He's got Leozack to do and some other parts to make. He's expecting end of August to have it done. :D

And I don't feel so special anymore. :o :rolleyes: :p

[iceburn]

hahahaha come ON lcz!!
beat STL's liokaiser!!
