I finally opened my Kreon Devastator and decided to upgrade some of the heads:

Oh, and I believe MasterSoundBlaster made a request...

PM sent. And I'm always happy to get pictures of printed versions! At some point I'll actually get around to putting them on display...

Some minibot action for ya:

Both of these guys should work as "micro-changers." Cosmos has two extra pieces to give him the top of the UFO and to replace his head with a curved piece. Seaspray's shoes should, in theory, also fit on his heels. Likewise, the propeller frame on his back pops off and can be slid over the neck stem, perpendicular to the torso.

Armada Megatron and Seaspray! :grin:

They all look great, but those are super awesome. :lol:

Thanks!

Nexus Prime printed and painted the Armada Megatron:

That guy really makes these things come to life, no?

Seaspray is still waiting his turn, though.

Guess who's coming to dinner:

And some originals:

I had a request for Overlord a while ago, so I finally got around to this design:

I have three alternative vests that I'm trying out:

The far left and the middle are "static"--they are one piece. The one on the far right has an opening chest plate to reveal the engines you see in the far left model.

The hinged chest ends up being too broad or too deep for my tastes. I could probably tighten things up if I made the hinges require metal pins, but I prefer not to.

LOL Go-Bots. :lol:

These things are all awesome, by the way. :APPLAUSE:

Thanks! I'm eager to see how those Gobots print...although I feel kind of cheap for that Leader-1 "helmet"...looks more like a brace for a neck injury.

Incidentally, someone printed out more of my helmets as well as that Cosmos design here: http://tinyurl.com/cl38uen.

Here are some experimental pieces.

First up, two pairs of "static legs." These would feature 0 articulation (unless you count the waist stem when connected to the body). They do, however, allow for some "action" poses that would be impossible for actual kreon legs, and they also get rid of that unsightly gap between the top of the "hip" and the waistline.

I still need to sort out some issues, like how the side peg-holes would work for additional pieces like tires.

And then I generated three original chest plates...they aren't really based on any particular characters, although it has been observed that the middle vest looks like its ready for a beach party...

Moving parts!

I had a request for some Kreon vests that would have opening doors for hidden reveals and secret compartments. They do bulk up the kreon, but I thought it was a fun challenge.

First up, Soundwave:

The next image is with the hinge mechanism reversed, allowing for a slightly larger cavity in the chest plate.

And then, a Prime vest:

That little thingamabob in the middle pops out. It has a peg on the back for stability and handling.

Here's a top view of Prime:

Nexus Prime sent me these pictures of printed weapons from my Prime upgrade sets:

Megatron fusion cannon:

Prime cannon:

(Don't mind that arm...it was an experiment that didn't quite work out as well as I would have liked.)

Here's a take on some G1 Megatron helmets for Kreons...

And now for some Team Prime:

nice man, that bulkhead helmet looks worlds better than what's on the official one. (he just looks like Hound tbh).

I really dig the Magnus helmet too, though in Prime he doesn't have the "sunglasses". Still pretty sweet looking. ^__^

Technically not new...just new as a set (and as a colored 2D image):

This is new:

The larger controller has been modified to include an eyeport---yes, it's actually a kreon helmet. The smaller controller has a peg-port on the back--yep, it's a backpack. (These were a request.)
