And a more complete Predaking dragon mode...

As well as some "broad chested" torsos for Prime's Prime and Megatron, on request. These have the same waist size as a regular kreon, but bulk up the shoulder width. This was Nexus Prime's idea...I think he's slowly trying to manipulate me into making complete figures.

that megs chest is going to look great with my megs arms and feet upgrade

Vanhound over at the TFW forums just posted a bunch of pictures of kreon customs he made using my parts:

Also, AZDragon58 over there made excellent use of my Soundwave head to finish off his compelling repaint of Jazz into a gobots Soundwave:

Meanwhile, I've been working on this:

Gotta love Jetstorm! It's really a shame Silverbolt didn't retain some of his shell program's more interesting quirks... like acting like a game show host. :lol:

And the puns, OH THE PUNS!

Models look great by the way.

Thanks!

I really liked a lot of what Beast Machines tried to do. One thing that annoyed me, though, was how it had to link characters to former incarnations. I just wanted them to be...them. It was bad enough that the cast was so small...but then we find out that three of the four new characters were really just old characters. It got claustrophobic.

I both agree and disagree... I think Jetstorm should have been kept around (perhaps -separated- from Silverbolt, rather than just disappearing) since he was such a great character, but I like how Thrust was handled. Making Waspinator a badass biker bot was just hilarious.

Tankor's corruption of Rhinox was perhaps not Megatron's best plan, however. I know that they were probably playing on Dark Designs, but you would think Megs would learn his lesson after nearly having his face(s) handed to him by Rhinox once.

On the theme of bestial-vehicular conflict, here's a response to a request that came in...

UPDATE: Some of my designs are featured in Vanhound's Customs Facebook gallery:

I was asked to make some War for Cybertron style vests...

I guess looking at that giant Ratbat head whenever I log in to Seibertron.com finally got to me...

In case you want to spruce up your new kreon combiner set...

News Credits: 3 · by **Tresob** » Sun Aug 11, 2013 6:38 am

Almost...done...with...all..G1 combiners...

News Credits: 3 · by **Tresob** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 7:59 am

The helmets below aren't new, but I thought some of you might dig seeing them all in one place...it's been a busy couple of weeks.

That represents seven complete combiner teams (although I only have gestault helmets for three of them). I didn't include my Constructicon or Predacon helmets because I only made helmets for the ones that I felt needed upgrades, so the teams are not complete.

For those who like their kreons a little more...robust:

Did you want a little kreon FoC Ruination to fight your kreon Bruticus?

These might help!

Here's an assembly of upgrade parts for the Wave 3 blindpack figures...

If I make these available, I'll probably do a deluxe set with everything shown above and another set with just the helmets. The truck hood and Sharkticon-homage make the set a bit expensive as it is.

Here's a Slipstream torso/helmet pair I put together.

Apparently, it's impossible to have too many versions of Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Nexus Prime asked me to render him something that would work for the eternal rivals as they appeared in "The War Within."

This is what I gots:

I already made the Death's Head...uhm...head...and vest, but now he has a backpiece with clip- on mace, axe, and a plug-in shield. The accessories obviously can pop in a 3mm wrist port, yes?

Starriors! Very cool! Hot Shot was always my fave of those guys. I am guessing you will doing heads to go with these as well? Nice work as always! You are a Kreon creating machine

Ding! Ding! Ding!

I loved Starriors as a kid...although I completely de-valued them as investments because I removed all the pilots.

Heads will be coming up shortly...right now, I'm trying to figure out how to make the threading on Crank's boring drill.

If time allows, I might try to reassemble the parts for standalone "robot heroes" style figurines.
