This looks very cool, and makes me want to grab the HotSpot figure when it comes out so that I can make use of this kit

Looks great and really improves the aesthetics of the figure. Always bothered me how that figure went from chest to legs. Do you have a price point for the kit at this point? I would love to dress up both Inferno and Grapple, but not if its an arm and a leg. At the same point I have no idea of the time/$ you have invested at this point either.

Awesome stuff mate, hopefully you can sell these as kits or parts, I makes the figure look a lot better... congrats from Costa Rica!

Hey Wheeljack, hows things going with your upgrade parts?

Still keen on picking up these parts when you are ready sir!

Hey guys,
Thanks for the support. No pricing just yet. I'll explore possibilities when I wrap up the design work. Been juggling a lot these days but I have some updates for ya.

here we go. The waist and upper legs are ready for testing.
changed a few things up and solved the outer panels in vehicle mode.








As for hands and gun. I've enlarged the gun mode and made the handle compatible with MP sideswipe and red alert and made inferno's hands capable of holding their weapons. I've also simplified the fingers. Instead of all four, I'm only having the index finger move and the other three as one part.



And the front end. Still working on fixing this up but it's meant to look like the fuso front. He'll also get dome lights to replace the square ones on the roof.



More to come guys. thanks for staying tuned.

Edit: oh yeah, and here's a quick reference pic. he's sporting the old parts I made but should give you sense of height.

looking fantastic mate, thanks for updating us. I love seeing the progress

Thanks for the updates Wheeljack-S70, this is 'shaping' up to be a great project which myself along with many others would love to own.

Dare we ask for a.... <gulp> Pre-Order or am I just too darn early?

Excellent work mate, keep it up!

Wow. You took an already good mold and made it even better. Kudos!

Will you ship to the UK when you release this?

Thanks for support guys.
just to answer a couple of questions.
yes, hopefully when they get produced they'll ship worldwide.
and No pre-orders yet. I'm not even close to being done


So I got some updates for ya


Please note that these are quick test prints.
I got some prints made thanks to Stagwolf Garage Kits. Some sweet test prints that Eric provided me to figure certain things. Super helpful while I fine tune some of the components. I can already tell that I want to make adjustments to the front grill.


The back end here shows how the hips are on ball joints and swivel in the center, moving the leg down as it extends out. Note the leg on the right doesn't have the detail paneling on the back. The fit will be factory tight when it's all said and done.

Finally the back bumper. I think should be a bit thicker but this demonstrates the basic idea. In truck mode it's a bumper and in bot mode it swivels down and acts as a stabilizing heel.

Anyway back to the files to make some fixes.
Thanks for looking guys.
