You might be the one to ask, but, I was wondering if there were any weapon sets for the cw figures (cool guns/swords) for the individual figures, and (specifically) the combined mode?

Also, has anyone recieved the nonef combiner hands, not sure if they've shipped any yet.

Renferform made individual guns for the deluxe Stunticons, and a massive gun for MM that can be wielded by the gestalt:



That's from his FB page. Check it out, there are more photos and stuff. He also made some new heads for Menasor that look pretty nice.

These are sold directly by Renderform; they're not going through BBTS. He took orders some months ago. They might still be available on his site.

Thanks for letting me know, they're a tad pricey for what you're getting, so I think I'll have to skip these - especially if I'm gonna go out on the hunt for cw wave 4 tomorrow

So apparently he has not finished shipping out stuff that was ordered and paid for nearly six months ago. Anyone who ordered the Stunticon weapons and such recieve their order yet? Last I saw on Facebook he was supposed to have everything shipped by October 9 but I don't think that happened. What irritates me is that he has time to go to conventions and sell new exclusive stuff but can't get stuff shipped paid for nearly 6 months ago?

It irks me as well. I got to talk to him at TFcon, and brought up that it's been 6+ months since I paid for my order... he said he hopes to ship my order out in the next week.

I really hope it's true.

I received my Stunticon order with my Leo Prime head/sword a week ago. The only letdown I have is that Leo Prime's head is relatively huge compared to his body. Plus, he can't transform into alt mode with that noggin. Oh well...still a great piece.

I've waited longer for other prepaid purchases/preorders/commissions. For example, (TOTALLY OFF TOPIC) right now I'm almost 2 years and $4,000 in on a commission for tsuka (handle) rewrap and saya (sheath) rebuild on a katana ("long" sword) and wakizashi ("short" sword). PLUS, I have not heard from the commissioner for 4 months now. His e-mail is no longer valid, and he isn't returning my calls/texts. Maybe it's time I seek legal counsel???

In other words, Venksta has a pretty good rap sheet, and isn't he essentially a one-man team?

Venksta has good quality products and is a one-man team. What I would appreciate is:
a) more transparency/updates for ongoing projects
b) for the initial delivery estimates he provides to be a little more realistic.

In the batch of products in question, there was a lot of demand (and possibly more than what he wanted to limit the product run to). Also there were several pieces. I know I ordered a lot.

For those who don't, I strongly recommend to follow the Renderform Facebook page for updates. Even if your not on Facebook, you can treat the page as a website for news.

There hasn't been a lot of updates regarding the products announced in April, and the last update on outstanding products was on June 15 followed by a convention appearance on June 19. This is disappointing. To reiterate what has been said earlier, we get an update about new limited products that will be available at conventions but there are other customers that just want to know what's the hold up on their existing orders.

Anyways, thanks for this round of upgrades. A new head, Stunticon weapons, Animated Menasor head (*swoon*) and a Jetfire rifle are going to be ordered. I'll expect them sometime in September

That was my own expected wait time, about 5 months.

Venksta - would you please take some time to just update the fandom/customers on where you stand on these items?

Plus, he can't transform into alt mode with that noggin.

To be fair, the entry for the Leo kits on the store stated that it couldn't.

Im still waiting on my Stunticon order. I e-mailed Azim a couple weeks back and he responded promptly explaining that the only piece on my order not ready yet is the Menasor head. Im sure he will get my stuff out sooner or later. I actually want to see him attending conventions. If he is interacting with the fandom in person and staying visible, then that's a good sign. It means has every intention of delivering his product and is not hiding from his clients.

On the other hand, Maiden Japan took everyone's money and ran. Hard times or not, he could have filed for bankruptcy and paid everybody back at least. If I ever see Maiden Japan at a convention, Ill ask him one time politely for my money. If he says no, we gonna fight.

Hi,

Thanks for your patience while your current Renderform order has been
worked on. If you are reading this email, that means your order
contains the Combiner Wars Menasor head upgrade. I’m in the process of
wrapping up, and currently expect to ship out these remaining orders
tomorrow morning, November 17th, if things all check out. There was a
big change to the designs, so now each head comes with 3 faces, instead
of one, thanks to being able to figure out a way to make them swappable.
However, due to the complicated design, I have to check each face can
fit with the Menasor head they come with, along with making sure the
head itself fits the CW Motormaster/Menasor body. With the amount of
head kits ordered, this is quite a time consuming task.

If you have had an address change since you placed your order, please
email me back by 8am PST tomorrow morning (November 17th), with any new
address you would like to have your order shipped.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email me back at any time.

Thanks again for your patience while I've worked on everyone's order,
including yours.

Cheers,
Azim Venksta

Awesome news, it's been a long time coming. Regarding the bolded part, a HUGE thank you!

[Rated X]

Thats awesome ! I cant wait to get my Menasor head and put it on the Takara version. Im excited to get my order I went all in on a lot of stuff !

[Venksta]

Hey everyone. Sorry for not replying here sooner. Usually I get an email notification if anyone replies to this thread, but I hadn't seen any. All the overdue orders for the Stunticon weapons and CW Menasor heads have shipped, and I've sent email confirmations along with any tracking numbers. If you haven't seen an email, send me a private message here, along with your paypal address, and I'll look up your order.

Obviously, these new items took way too long to make and ship for everyone. I made a big mistake of listening to people to not limit stuff. At the beginning of the year I had announced items would be limited to 100 sets or less. After some items, like the Jetfire guns, sold out, a lot of people complained for missing out. So when the Stunticon stuff went up, I didn't cap anything. My initial plan was to only make 50 sets of the Menasor rifles and Stunticon deluxe guns. I ended up with over 250 orders for them alone. There was around 1500 pieces to make between all orders. Going forward, I am going to be limiting runs to 50 sets, as well as how many actual products are available at a time. As there was close to 50 products available between molds and variants. I'll leave the option for secondary runs after, with no color changes or anything. But that will all depend on my schedule and if I want to go at it again.

Anyways, I do appreciate everyone who does support my custom Renderform pieces, especially those of you who have bought several times from me. For those who do have an order on the way, please do post feedback about them, if possible. Strangely, in the five years I've been doing this, there really isn't that much feedback on my items, compared to other similiar products. I do need it to know what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong.

I'm currently deciding on the next new items. Hoping to announce them on Monday. A lot of items will be removed from my online store by then, so if there are any items you are eying, place an order for it by Sunday night.

For any MTMTE comic fans, I've got a preorder up for my Tailgate hover board accessory. Currently have the 4th run up for preorder, and just shipped out the 2nd run two days ago. You can see more info, and order here:

go my stunticon set. them guns really help finish off the combiner for me along with the pe upgrades ive got a nice classics menasor.

great work!

My only complaint with MotorMaster's giant gun of doom is that in combined mode, his shoulders aren't strong enough to hold it upright.

I suppose that's a complaint to the figure more than the weapon actually.

Drag Strip is tight enough to hold the rifle pointing forward on my Menasor, but not Dead End. He is loose and floppy in arm mode.

agreed dragstrip can hold the gun and dead end is for the sword.

also pe hands cant hold either, had to switch back to stock hands

[Rated X]

The PE hands worked fine for me. A little fiddly to get them to stay in place with the weapons, but doable. Menasor’s sword will flop though. The only issue I had was Breakdowns gun was way too thick for him to hold. A little light sanding took care of that. The light piping on the Menasor head looks great. I plan to use it for my Takara Menasor when I get around to combining him for the first time. Right now I’m enjoying Hasbrosor combined since the Takara individual bots sport more cartoon accurate decos. Azim did an awesome job again. I highly recommend his products.

im not sure if they are still in stock but nonnef has shoulder clips that replace the wind veins on motormaster to hold them shoulders together in combined mode fyi. also, walmart shelves? looks like my display!

Yeah I gotta check on those Nonneff parts. Nobody has really updated the nonneff thread. What does he have available currently ? (In stock, not pre-orders) Does anybody own the Motormaster clips or the hands and feet by nonneff? I would love to see some pics.

And yeah, nothing beats walmart book shelves for displays. $40 a pop, easy to assemble, and choice of black, white or brown.
