Son of a BISCUIT!
I just started customising a CW Prime into Black Convoy!
But mine is based on RiD scourge so....it's different enough, right?

[themidnightdoctor]

That's a good looking figure.

[megatronus]

No preorders yet, right?

I don't want to be locked out of this like I was locked out of the Nemesis Evasion Prime.

I would keep an eye on your usual online stores (once a day will do), and be quick! Personally I'm gonna wait for any exclusive limbs. Rook will need to see use somehow eventually.

The way you painted the chest goes a long way to explain why the original toy has those seemingly pointless grooves running across the fake chest windows in the first place.

Why thank you It's not finished yet, a little untidy, and I haven't finished the torso mode. I was going to use Super link Grand Scourge as reference for the torso, for obvious reasons. Now that an official version exists though, I'll try and do something different.

Fantastic use of the beast hunters cleaver, I like how TT are being so free in re-purposing weapons by mixing them around different figures! It's a nice release, and a great homage! keep digging up those lesser known characters TT

[Solus Prime]

Or something like a Ruination homage??
With Scourge replacing Mega-Octane?
It would be interesting, and seriously would help because we have too many autobot combiners...

[munkimus prime]

Now all he needs is a set of limbs.

Honestly, that was %99 the reason I had the idea. That chest is begging for it

The backstory for my guy is he ripped the tech from Ruination, having being sick of being the commander of the Decepticons but not being in control of Ruination itself, since he is not a part of it. I was thinking of mimicking the pattern on Ruination's chest on the 'closed chest' of Scourge's torso mode to represent this. He'll also come with optional Decepticon or Renegade markings for it and his shoulders.

It's the inside I'm not decided on. Unite warriors Grand Scourge here will surely help with inspiration now, even if it's more a case of what not to do

'Grand scourge' is certainly jazzy...the gold is shiny...

Nice Idea... And you have any images
of him with Generations Sky-Byte?

Hmm.. It's e-hobby though... I don't want to jinks it but past e-hobby black primes are pretty easy to get and doesn't sell out right away. Everything depends on how many are made I guess.

I hope so. He may not have much character, but him combining and being a dimension-hopper tickles me in the right places. Come on, e-Hobby, release some limbs too!

This is the exact way I feel about this...I hate this molds proportions, but this deco/BFS has me truly compelled to pick this up no questions asked!

Yeah I noticed that too for CW Prime. Guy has alot of Homages. Hes Sort of G1 ish in his transformation, but also has a very Machine Wars/ THunderclash looking alt mode (Which had a similar Transformation too.) His Supper Mode has touches of PM Prime/ Energon Prime and the unreleased Turbomaster Supreme leader Hyperdrive, And he has the chest detail like Laser Prime/RID SCourge. Hes a Mega Mix of Primes.

Man I'm loving Combiner wars!!

Hmm the Teams that could be done.. So far all G1 Scramble City teams are being made (We all KNOW the combaticons are coming.), Plus Devistator. Have "bonus" Leaders with Optimus, Grand Scourge, Cyclonus/Galvatronus, Ultimate Optimus (White version). TO round things off the Fan built team (which will probably be a fembot... NICE)

Next year will see more combiners, "POSSIBLY" Inducing Skylinx as roumored, Predicons, Seaicons, Terricons, Computron.

For bonus recolor teams, I'd like to see The Jet Corps/Preditors retooled from the Areobots With Skyquake as the leader and they form Scrash. Road Corps/Turbomasters with yet another CW optimus repaint and retooled into Thunderclash and they Form Hyperdrive. Guard City, Battle Gaia, Autobot Ruination (based on Wreckers Fall of Cybertron team), and Bonus leader Last Stand of the Wreckers Pyro and bonus Limb Last stand of the Wreckers Rotorstorm.

G2 Team colors, City Camo Ruination/Combaticons, and lastly maybe BW2nd Seacon recolor (if the seacons are in fact made).

Man would be such a clash of the Titans in my apartment if all of these teams get made.

Now the only problem is... I got a Spare Motormaster to make into Combiner Wars Nemesis Prime/Scourge. Hmm What do I do with him now? XD Eh I'll give him to my god sons or Nephew.

Found a good translation of his bio:

A mysterious warrior resembling the Autobot supreme commander Convoy. It is able to transcend space and time and has set its sight on the myriad Convoys and Optimus Primes of the multiverse. In addition to its own atrocious unmatched combat capabilities, it is also able to force combinations - controlling warriors or drones with the ability to combine literally as easily as he does his own limbs. The large, scarlet blade it wields, the "Matrix Breaker" is not only an instrument of physical destruction but is also said to be capable of severing the bond between the Autobot supreme commanders and their Matrices of Leadership.

He basically sounds like the same kind of character as DOTM Darkside Optimus Prime, with the addition of being able to force others to combine with him.

And it's cool how the bio both includes and distinguishes "Convoys" and "Optimus Primes".

With that bio there's a good chance this guy will turn up in the TFCC store. That story sounds a lot like a TFCC story line and in the same year that the BotCon theme revolves around Axiom Nexus. I kinda want the figure, but I wish they sued silver instead of gold.

The part about "Convoys" and "Optimus Primes" really got my attention. I've always mused over the idea that G1 Convoy and G1 Optimus Prime aren't the same character since their stories diverge quite drastically. Occasionally their stories run congruent, but after season two of the cartoon they really went different directions.

I'm sure they weren't thinking that deeply, though. I'm guessing they just didn't want the name to be used interchangeably and now have to say something like that to refer to pre and post 2007 characters.

Hmm With Combiner Wars this also gives TFCC a chance for a new Nexus Prime.

Let's wait until the possible reveal of Onslaught (Heatwave) and Brawl (Landquake), then we'll talk

[Moosey]

Guys, could I have some help? How do you translate/navigate E-Hobby? I can't figure out anything, is there a way to translate the site?

[JasonCanty79]

hinomars19 where did you get that sword from By the way?

[Deadput]

Yes another "Stunticon" for my ever growing army of Decepticon sport cars and trucks.



A great idea would be to make a second Stunticon team with the following repaints


Optimus into Toxitron who has already been a honorary Stunticon in Animated


Groove into Oilslick to give the Stunticons a Motorcycle which I'm surprised has not happened yet.


Breakdown into Oilpan http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Oil_Pan


Drag Strip into Fracture to give the Stunticons a female member http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fracture_(Movie)#Toys


The Streetwise remold of Dead End into a G1 version of movie Barricade


And finally Offroad can join them for those who want to buy Wildrider/Brake-Neck and use him instead of Offroad so that problem is solved.




What do you guys think of this idea?

I think the odds are good since Heatwave has got a toy recently and has been in a recent G1 comic as a cameo.

It's from a cheap dinosaur transformer from a £1 store. It's been knocking around my accessories box for years.

Son of a BISCUIT!
I just started customising a CW Prime into Black Convoy!
But mine is based on RiD scourge so....it's different enough, right?

Now THAT is awesome looking. Nice job, bro!
