The 3rd party Transformers recolor thread

Postby Scaleface » Tue Apr 02, 2013 2:37 pm

This is one thread with all the ideas for recolors you would want to see done on 3rd party Transformers. Please list the company and toy you'd modify and what color changes you would want to see in it. You are also allowed to suggest a remolded head and new weapons with your recolors.

For instance, if you wanted to see igear's Weapon Specialist recolored as Transformers Crossovers Scooby DOo Van, you say:

iGear - Weapons Specialist - in Mystery Machine colors, new head looking like robotic Fred Majors.

I'll keep a running list here (combining with lists from other forums):

--

FansProject - Backfiery - G1 Venom colors with a new head.
FansProject - G3 Trailer - Nemesis Prime colors.
FansProject - Intimidator - G2 colors, Masquarade Autobots with new head for Optimus Prime and combined mode

Junkion Blacksmith - Optimus Prime Headmaster - Shattered Glass colorss
Junkion Blacksmith - Soundwave Headmaster - Shattered Glass colors

Mastermind Creations - Cyclops - Recolored as Broadside with a new head
Mastermind Creations - Ferocious Rex - War Lord as Leo Prime, Tigatron, Rhinox, Airazor and Longhorn

MasterShooter Collectibles - Bolt Action - reverse colors as SG Firebolt
MasterShooter Collectibles - Shot-Piece - reverse colors as ehobby Barrel Roller

Mech IDeas - Apex - Salt-Man X colors
Mech IDeas - Geminus - Salt-Man Z colors

Pefect Effect - RC - In different colors with new heads as the other female Autobots
Pefect Effect - Ninja - Flip Sides, Solarbot and SG Rewind

Autobot/Maximal recolours of one of the Predacon sets.
- Tigatron (or Catilla - Tigs fits the colour scheme better though), Lio Prime, Rhinox, Silverbolt (BW or Airrazor) and Stampede. I don't even think they're need new heads. Maybe for Rhinox.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

One of the best things about the 3rd party scene is that each character can get their own unique mould. I dunno if I'd really like too many recolors.

That said, I'd definitely buy recolored Arcees as the other Fembots if they had different heads. Maybe PE's motocycle bot could do it most effectively. IT's Nightbird was a great idea, the execution just sucked.

I know what you mean. Re-decos and remolds are a territory of Hasbro and Takara which contributed to the development of the third parties.

On the other hand, one that's been on my mind is:

ToyWorld - TW-H01 Hardbone - New head and Roadbuster colours

I know armada overload is the logical reprint for steelcore but I can really see an IDW overlord worked out of this mold lol =X

I don't know who Stampede is. Longhorn is a Maximal bull from Beast Machines.

There is a Magna Stampede who is a unicorn from Beast Machines or Universe.

Intimidator is FansProject not-Menasor.

cool, thanks. i didn't know all of that.

i do have Magna Stampede though, he's awesome. Kinda rubbish, but awesome.

edit: wait, you don't know who Stampede is? He's from a text story in one of the old UK annuals. He's teamed with Sunstreaker, Prowl and Jazz and a buncha other guys. He's the redshirt of the team basically.
