. . . and there is the Cosmos I so wanted that I got sniped on ebay from. *ARGH* I SO wished I had actually been able to put more money on the auction, but I was crunched when I was bidding. Did someone on this board buy that? I'm still interested in it I know!

But yeah, thanks for digging for photos that may not be in the galleries and such. Much appreciated!

It's always nice to find pieces of obsurity

it was a prity awesome cosmos, thats the one he gave to Hal as a gift isnt it?

Could you find the pics of that Emperor Starscream? He never got around to making a gallery for it, but there are some pics from Botcon of it. I believe it was the last one right before the whole OTFCC thing.

*snip*

Yes, it was. Hal posted some auctions on ebay of his collection to pay some bills off. The Cosmos was one such auction.

I was lucky enough to trade him for his energon sweep. Prize of my collection. He broke in half on the first transformation so I had to upgrade him with a couple dreadwing parts. I guess when TFM took him apart to dye the pieces it made a weak point.

So what pieces of his work to others have?

i had the pleasure to do a interview with him in the past thought would add this to the topic as a homage to himself

Well to start the new year i thought a Spotlight on Kitbashers First off we start with one of the people that got me started on klit bashing the ma Himself TFmaster.

As Most people know this man was one of the people which started in the days of unicorn.com over 10 years ago. With the years passing so did hes range of ideas.

TFmaster was one of the people which started with the site Transtopia Helping people to move forward on the ideas and styles with helped people move on to ideas of new homages and with many kit bashes under hes belt whether that be the mp power master prime to the stormbringer styles.

for exmaple heres one of hes pieces

many further repaints have been done on this subect whether that be from the pvc versions to the armada / Energon versions which got the over haul to make the homage to the movie due to the fact that the only other movie versions i can think of are the pvc versions statue and tit range 3 inch version with the moving arms

Even the use of gundam parts seen here

Tfmaster knows some of the things that make a kit basher unique in the fact that every kitbash is a stepping stone in making something as a homage to that figure to always remember and never forget.

I asked Tfmaster what got him started on Kitbashing and he answered my questions with ease. He said when he started before in the past he first looked on sites such as unicorn.com in the altered areas and saw the progess that others had made and that the first thing he did was a repaint with glow in the dark paint.

Over the ten years of Kit bashing he away is happy to know that overs will give a new Outlook to aiding others in making that homages/ Repaint more unique in the overall end product whether that be from the aid of Minds such as Lobo saying How to Remove Pins from Alternators to the 1000's of Styles Which people Now USe as a guide in Making them understand the Constuction and what they must do.

Tfmaster has been heading many of the conventions whether that be at Bot Con to others and i must say is one of the people which i am proud to say can ask for help and never find it hard to get a reply. Such as Myself the things importaant to him have changed but not in a great way instead giving him more the knowledge that the fans and family are the main thing which help you prgoess.

Its a said day in a way to Know that Transtopia will be leaving its unique spot but then this will be merged with Seibertron Hopefully as all wish the site will do justice for the members in the kit bashing World. Its maybe the loss of One site but a Union of 2 instead.

I would Like to Thank Tfmaster for Hepling me Get forward in Kitbashing and giving me that push that i needed when i started to think i Can Do this.

Also just the other day TFM's Birthday so as We say 1 year old and 1 year wiser.

Well thats Enough of Me Rabbiting On On the Subject heres Some More of Hes Work


And More

















POST EDITED SEE ADI'S REPLY FOR OTHER GALLERIES

^ thanks for posting all those pics.

It's really a shame that so many of TFM's amazing pieces of work never gotten a (proper) gallery.

As soon a sgalleries are possible again a subsection should be made collecting alle these random pics still floating around. Not so much as some kind of shrine, but more as a testiment to what one can accomplish and to what level we should all aspire to grow. (And also to proove, that no matter how far fetching an idea might be, with the proper execution it can be a great piece of art.)



(I don't think I'd be able to pick one that would be my absolute favorite. There are so many that so incredibly amazing. Ideas I never would've thought of and would be complety unable to copy.)



(I do really love that alt Cosmos and the MP WW Megatron.)
