Just for 'coolness' factor, I'd say make the treads rubber. It's not likely you'll be able to make 'em actually WORK like treads, but who knows...

What TFM means is that the complete torso flips 90 degrees.
I cant point it out in words, a pic says more I guess.
It's a hard part to construct, it has to hold a lot of weight in both modes.. especially in altmode.

That cylinder part going through the abdomen isn?t functional on its own. I?ve created a smaller circular piece (not pictured) to attach to each side of the cylinder. It will be attached by a screw so that it can rotate therefore allowing the whole upper body to be angled.OdeeanRDeathshead wrote:mmmm very strong looking. its fun to make guns too.
Speaking of gun. Anyone have a pic of his gun? There is a pic of it in the first issue of volume 1 of TWW comics but it looks like a pistol to me the way its drawn. Big Bad Grim doesn?t carry a pistol does he?alphatron wrote:That looks awsome VP...What do you plan on doing for the head?
I?ll either use a modified E. Grim head (the combined one, not the regular since the regular is too small) or a modified Alt Grim head (would need to carve in the ?teeth? on the sides of the mouth plate).

It wasn't really a gun but a tool a couple of them used. It's a form of grapple line if I'm correct in what your talking about.

Yes, it was used as a grapple line but I figured it doubled as a gun too since I've never seen a gun drawn for him.

The chest details are very good too, I just think that the shoulders are a bit too wide, even for Badass Grimlock
my opinion can still change when you finished his arms though, so keep on the work!

hmm...shouldes too wide? Anyone else think that way too? If so, that's an easy fix.

Yeah, he looks a bit broad compared to the comic art.
