Inferno/Grapple: Masterpiece Upgrades

Postby Wheeljack-S70 » Sun May 13, 2012 11:18 am

What I'm aiming to do with my upgrade kit is to add more height to the bot mode, length to the alt mode and a more "MP" feel to the figure. This will require you to remove some screws and screw in my new components. If you know how to use a screwdriver and have taken a figure apart, you're qualified. It will include a ladder, articulated hand with a gun, extinguisher attachment for one of his wrists, new waist, new legs, new knees, a hood for his head. It will be completely transformable with no parts forming. Grapples components will differ slightly to the inferno mold and I'll start working on those when this one's complete.

I'll update this image when I complete more components. Cost, Sales, Pre-orders will be available when i know.

I've still got a lot more to do and clean up, but if you're interested please stay tuned.
Thanks for looking guys.

Can't wait to see the extended alt mode. Almost more excited about that than the extra height but that is definitely cool too!

Thanks Harvester,

I have a lot to go still but here are some updates for ya.
I got the component I was waiting for yesterday that attaches the waist to the bot.

The Two existing screws hold it in place.

I have a lot of tweaking to do but the more I play with it the more I think this will work.
Now that I can transform him, I'll be drawing out the gaps and filling in the ladder, hood, ears, etc.
here's some pics of the truck mode so far for length.

Hope this is affordable, looks awsome. Will both hands be available? See a future for a cool Motormaster and Ultra Magnus custom using your add ons.

Awsome parts, sign me up please. will we be able to buy parts at a time as we want or will it be a kit that we will order? I just did a deal just so i could use this kit and make a new MP for my collection. If we waited for Hasbro/takara to make a MP Inferno and Grapple i would be dead for 10 years. Please make this happen, i for one will be buying this at least twice.

I just love your idea by upgrading current Transformers into something better, especially when we go from Voyager to (mini) Masterpiece!
Its amazing how a new pair of upper legs and some hands make such a difference (X-Transbots take note)!

How is your project going at the moment, any further developments or photos?

Keep up the great work! ;)

Any updates? If what you have only already shown was the final product, I'd buy it just so I could display it in bot mode. The alt mode isn't too bad either, just has that one gap on the side panels but I could live with it =P
