Ooh! - I like that shot a lot Kup, well executed! ;):cool:

[GoktimusPrime]

Thanks snaketales :) It was pretty damn tricky to set up... stupid things kept falling over!! It took me several attempts, but I got there... I took two shots and I was about to take a third when they all came crashing down! :p Anyway, I picked the best of the two shots I got. ;)

kup: Nicel done! :D For anyone who may not know, kup's action pic is a re-enactment from G1 #273 Wolf in the Fold (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Wolf_in_the_Fold!). (^_^)

[kup]

Thanks guys! Credit goes to Sarquiss, who came up with the idea of Bludgeon sitting down drinking 'sake'. I blended that with 'Wolf in the Fold' and improvised with a mug of oil from Macaddam's.

Received two 3D printed accessories today:

http://kupscigar.com/collection/a1.JPG

http://kupscigar.com/collection/a2.JPG

This was mostly to see what 3D printed items were like and I am pretty impressed overall. Naturally they are not nearly as good as molded plastic and the surface is not smooth but rough, however the detailing is good down to fine lines.

The Megatron mace was actually a very 'bright' purple so I gave it a 'wash' paint job to make it a bit duller.

[Sarquiss]

That's awesome Kup :D

Anyways, here are some crappy iphone pictures of the 3D printed accessories, which I got today

How durable are they? i.e. would they withstand some hardy toy play?

[kup]

How durable are they? i.e. would they withstand some hardy toy play?

They are surprisingly durable although I am not sure if it is as hard as regular plastic but certainly within the same league. So to answer your question, yes it most probably would sustain a fair bit of play.

[Sarquiss]

How durable are they? i.e. would they withstand some hardy toy play?

I have been swinging the Megatron Flail around like a madman and it has withstood it.

They do appear to be quite durable.

I actually have a legends Starscream but he is on my desk at work :( (He is sort of a mascot at work :p), so I may bring him home to recreate the scene from the show :D

Overall I am really happy I got the bruticus upgrade kit :D, it just adds a whole new dimension to my collection.

Now I just need Devastator, Menasor, Defensor, Superion (The current one sucks even with the upgrade kit:eek:) & Computron :D

...ah, those were the days... you'd have no idea how the picture turned out because there's no on-screen preview like with digital cameras. Sure, you could take multiple shots, but that would use up more film, and of course, it cost money to develop the film into photos. Sometimes half of them would turn out blurry or too dark or whatever... and even if everything went well, you needed to spend time scanning all the photos too! :) Which was jolly hard for me because at the time I didn't have a scanner! (I'd have to go to a friend's house and borrow his) -- man that was time consuming! :O

Taking toy photos and making photocomics these days is so much easier and faster to do. :)

Best 1990s TF gestalt EVER. The only toy that I would compare it with since would be JRX (which of course came out in 2000, so post-90s) and Legends Class ROTF Devastator (who's a pretty neat gestalt at Legends scale). Tripredacus craps all over the Energon gestalts and ROTF Combiner Class Devastator would have to be the worst gestalt ever made. The McDonalds Armada Happy Meal Autobot-gestalt is a better toy that ROTF CC Devvie! :eek:

That's quite a puzzler you've got there. :p

[liegeprime]

That's a very good effort VGM, the torsocould use a bit of bulk, mebbe use Kup for the torso, then use both Wheeljack and Tracks for the arms, head wise, well, if you find a junker Primus or Sup. Starscream, those heads would fit nicely attching it though is another matter I leave up to you hehehe.

@Paul Agnew: yah beat me to it mate! I was getting that vibe the moment I saw it.

[MindsetOverhaul]

The concept for the legs is genius! great mis-transformation. i'd love to see this with W/J and Tracks as arms and maybe a classics Prime or U/M as the body. i'll be trying this for sure.

Bumblebee, transfooorm!
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/goktimusprime/Transformers/misc%20photo%20skits/Transformation/bumblebee_transform.jpg

Believe it or not, but it took me hours (over two evenings) to make that image. I obviously took several photos of Bumblebee at various stages of transformation, but because I wanted to have him "leap" into alt mode, it required some visual effects. And of course, the most advanced graphics program that I'm capable of using is MSPaint :p :p -- so it was pretty tedious trying to remove the box which held Bumblebee up in mid air! (phwoar!)

Here are some unmodified shots of what some of the photos looked like before I removed the box:

I didnt have Kup at the time. I just got him yesterday. I was looking for how to improve it, so thanks to you liegeprime for your suggestions. I just threw it together over the weekend and used what I had. But I do agree the arms/hands do look scary. haha.

That has some rather interesting potential VGM. :eek:

I agree with Mindset that the use of Drift and Blurr for the legs is simply genius and pull of a really cool aesthetic :cool:
Liege is spot on too about using Wheeljack and Tracks for the arms as he is slightly lean on the Torso side of things and if you don't happen to use Kup maybe you could use one of the 'Lambo Twins' - Sunstreaker or Sideswipe as they've got a bit of bulk to 'em! ;)
Lol I have to agree with Paul on the Puzzler reference because if you can manage to paint them accordingly I think you'd have an incredibly unique custom dude. :D


Looking forward to seeing where you go with this guy man, as for a head? - How about Tidalwaves? :o

Hey no probs... we like to foster creativity here:D:D:D:D..... vicious ei? I think that's an understatement :p;), keep us updated on this project. Ive always wanted to see a gestalt of the Autobots since I saw that episode when they faked Menasor in G1. Then when its done we can all think of names to suggest for this new behemoth :D:D:D Im quite intrigued how you attached them together... very creative on the legs!

[MindsetOverhaul]

liegeprime, that episode was wicked! masquerade!(?) too many hilarious moments to derail this thread with.

as for head suggestions; i love a fresh bash and will happily donate either universe dropshot, cybertron quickmix or RID buildking to your project if you go through with it. quickmix and buildking are probably the right size whereas dropshot is maybe a bit small. VMG, if you get stuck for donor heads drop me a PM

I think the big problem you have are the upper arms. What you really should look at is keeping them in vehicle mode and building some arm/shoulder kibble. As it stands those upper arms simply don't look right- partly because they don't match and partly because they don't work on their own as articulated arms (no classics deluxe figure is likely to tbh as they haven't been designed to be).

That said, with some bulk on the chest as well, the idea has real potential, keep it up :).

I have to agree with the others, the legs are brilliantly done, some vry nice thinking outside the box. I wouldn't expect that you'll have any classics that would make good arms as mentioned above but at the same time I never would have thought you would find anything suitable for legs.:eek:

Keep up the great work, and keep us posted. for a torso I'd suggest moving towards a voyager size, which is either prime or magnus I guess. that would provide more bulk. unless you could use the ultra hardhead.

there's a little headmaster potential there too.

[Geminii]

And here I thought you were going to use gravity effects, like tacking the scene background to the ceiling, having the "ground" hang off it at 90 degrees, and suspend the toys from the ceiling with thin black thread which would be completely concealed from the front (underneath) when the photo was taken.

I like It!!! You could always add a chest shield to add bulk or maybe a 6th vehicle to fit over Tracks. I think if your worried about the arms being a bit vague you could just get some large hands from somewhere (like on every other g1 combiner)
As it is atm, it kinda reminds me of Gobots monstrous (talking about arms only) where the arms could be separated at the elbows to form 2 sets of pincers per arm. Looking forward to seeing how it ends up.

I remember reading those when I first stumbled upon your site, back when it was on Geocities (I think, that or it was a yahoo based site). Loved those profiles, and your Star Wars Crossover profiles as well.

...her first of hopefully many more Transformer photos to come! :)

Funny story about this picture... when I was taking that photo of TF Prime Optimus Prime in robot mode with the gun pointed toward the camera, my daughter kept on trying to shove Rescue Bot Optimus Prime into the shot! She wanted me to take a picture of both Primes, but I only wanted to take a picture of one... so she had her Optimus Prime lined up next to mine, but of course, I only really photographed TF Prime Optimus Prime -- but here's a less cropped version of the photo where you can see Rescue Bot Optimus Prime trying to be shoehorned into the photo!

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/goktimusprime/Transformers/prime_prime02_del.jpg

It was after that I decided to let her take a photo of Rescue Bot Optimus Prime herself! Of course, she needs to learn to not touch the lens with her grubby fingers!! :eek::eek:

included are some shots I did with Arcee from TF:Prime.
As soon as I got her, I noticed her wings weren't show accurate. Bothering me, I tried to make it a little more like the show, and the fact her shoulders werent showing...
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-IU7wDpg0MIo/TxoZ-Rxu5VI/AAAAAAAAC9o/vRPivRt4er8/s640/IMG_20120120_204630-1.jpghttps://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-TFS5OGO4Ec0/TxoaBID-EfI/AAAAAAAAC9s/o_4ZEyQtNxw/s640/IMG_20120120_204621-1.jpg

I then fiddled with her and for some reason I though of Thrust from Beast Machines...

[Hursticon]

@VGM: Sweet shots man, I know what you mean about those shoulder plates being a little oversized too as her shoulders should be showing. :cool:
I also like the the BM take on her; indeed the fact that she's able to pull that off makes me think that the engineers had some thought of the movieverse Arcee in mind when designing her, I much prefer version 2 too. ;):)

[VGMStudios]

Thanks Hursticon. If you notice I flipped the shoulder plates. So left on right and so forth. The only thing is if you want to transformer her you have to flip them back.
Yes I agree, I too thought that the engineers were thinking of the movieverse Arcee when designing her. Glad you like them! :) If I was able to rotate her crotch piece around in version 1 it would look a lot better cause I kinda like how the legs are bent backwards sorta like Thrust.

Thank you, gentlemen. :) That pic took me some time to make. I only have one Vehicon, so I actually took eight photographs and composited them all together on MSPaint to make it look like they're all there at the same time! :p

I'm with the others Goki; that is an absolutely superb shot - Now I know what you meant about recovering from all your purchases after your trip to Japan. :eek::cool:
A question though dude, are those Eradicons all individuals or is it simply the one figure copied/pasted? - The shadows near each seem to be doing rather vertically odd things. :confused:


Alas I don't know how to use any graphics programs fancier than MSPaint. Graphics noobz is me. :p

You don't need the programs Goki, you just need better lighting and a Tripod mate and your shots will look absolutely amazing as you really know how to pose figures dude. ;):)

[GoktimusPrime]

Just the same Vehicon toy copied and pasted. ;)


The shadows near each seem to be doing rather vertically odd things. :confused:
Well yeah, it's MSPaint and I just used the selection tool to copy and paste areas into each other. It's crude, I know. :p


You don't need the programs Goki, you just need better lighting and a Tripod mate and your shots will look absolutely amazing as you really know how to pose figures dude. ;):)
Thanks. I did use a tripod and I had two room lights on and two lamps shining directly on that table, plus the camera flash, so a total of five light sources! ;)

I've used this technique a few times before for similar effects, like in 2006 when I recreated the cover of US#74 using the one Cybertron Unicron toy in different positions as "Unicron Acolytes" :D

Haha, very cute. There's something strangely endearing about that little green Ratchet. :p

[GoktimusPrime]

Haha, very cute. There's something strangely endearing about that little green Ratchet. :p
Thanks. :) That Ratchet is cute and great for babies (can't imagine it engaging anyone above pre-school age though); but totally not worth the RRP (I got it for free :D).

What I'm finding amusing is how Yukikaze tries to say some Transformer names...
Bumblebee -> "Bah boo bee" or "Bum boo bee"
Optimus Prime -> "Apple Pie"
Megatron -> "May Chon"
"Arcee" is the only TF name she can say properly atm (heh).

My favourite is what she calls Heatwave (she was yelling it at me this morning while I was brushing my teeth) - "BOUSHA!", which is a corruption of the word "Shoubousha" (消防車; Japanese for "Fire engine" :p). Beats calling it "Fireeninebot" ;)

Getting all the sand out of the toy was a pain in the rear though... 'specially cos beach sand is so much stickier than regular sand! XD Wouldn't surprise me if there's a grain or two still in that toy somewhere.

It's illegit. Here (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Smallest_Transforming_Transformers) is a list of all legitimate Smallest Transforming Transformers toys. One easy way to tell them apart is the packaging. The unofficial ones are in a G1-style box and called "WST Robots" with a small copy of the 極小変形 underneath. It has a "Justittoys" logo on the bottom. The word "Transformers" does not appear on the box (in either English or Japanese) AFAIK. Note that "WST" is not the official name for Smallest Transforming Transformers... it's an erroneous fan-made name, so any packing with "WST" printed on it is a clear sign that it's not a legit product. The legit box should look more like this (http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/617fCOp1aiL._SL500_AA300_.jpg). Note that "WST" doesn't appear anywhere on the box, just the "Transformers" and 極小変形 (Smallest Transformation) logos; and also, there's the Takara logo clearly printed.

Reminds me of the factory scene in I, Robot :D

[Paulbot]

Those tilted angle Wheeljack and Bulkhead versus the Vehicons shots are great. It feels like the robots are moving as I look at them.
