Something I've been working on.

Interesting. Nice shade of blue, too.

Ladder looks a little small scale wise. The paint looks good, its a nice shade.

Yeah that's part of the WIP I need a different ladder, but I wanted to show what I had in mind. All I've done so far is the Emergency light and a head mod. I really want to have a ladder, but I may not be able to find one that looks right. I also need some kind of camper like toolboxes for the sides that don't interfere with transformation or the ladder. I'm also looking at adding some decals to the doors and hood, but I don't really like the flames on G1.

would a modded rid primes ladder be too big?

Mon Jul 30, 2007 1:17 pm

I think it might be, to be honest. RiD Prime's a pretty big truck - I don't have an Alt Prime to compare it with, but considering Alts are kind of Voyager sized, I think it'll be a push, unless you were able to somehow shorten it. Offhand I can't think of a suitably-sized TF with a ladder.
Only thing I can think of is maybe the Titanium RiD Prime (although again, I haven't got one for size reference, or getting hold of a cheap fire engine toy or kit to scavenge from.

Looks great. Not sure about having a large ladder on there tho. i think it could work without.

Hey guys thanks for trying, but I've thought of all those and seen those pics. Titanium is way too small. Smaller than the one I used. RID Prime would be perfect if I had one. For now I'm going with no attachments. Only some decals, once I figure out what ones to use. :roll:

I think it would work.

I think he needs red eyes. He looks good in person, but in pics he needs red eyes. I just noticed the flash added silver to his forehead. His head is Black.

Y'wot? You feeling alright, son?

Anyway, yes. Red eyes good. Excellent call.

Man, I want Dev to make Galleries so bad I cry myself to sleep. Red eyes make me angry...
I added some silver so his head is more predominant. Pics later.

Whiskey talk about King of Seibertron's blatant disregard of Transtopia.

I am a customizer and I'm tired of not being able to have my stuff displayed and see the new stuff that others have made. It's like a big competition. The more people post completed galleries of customs, the more other people try to outdo them, or at least do just as good.
Smile and the world smiles with you. If you go to the moon everybody else thinks they can. If Anemis can build the stuff he does, maybe I can too. If ..... It's all about art. Artists need muses. The more muses the more art. The more people customize the more others customize and want to customize. The more people customize the greater customizes become, the bigger the fan base is, the bigger Transtopia is. Our problem is lack of advertisement. I found Transtopia through Ebay. I saw a repaint on Ebay one day and said " Hey I can do that". Any bot made by Takara/hasbro can be any bot we want.

We are the greatest Transfans in the world and we shouldn't be shuffled to the back and forced to put our fandom on hold. Transtopia was not designed to be an afterthought at the rearend of another website. Transtopia in name alone is the greatest place a Transformers fan can go.

It is a place where new bots are created and given a home. It is where every extreme Transfan wishes they could live.

I think Ryan does honestly intend to make Transtopia a pretty major part of Seibertron, he's not planning to make it just a 'rearend'. He is very busy though, what with his recent server shift and otherwise sorting out his own site. And IIRC, he does have a full-time job to concern himself with too...

That aside, Defensor looks like there's some real potential, and I hope it works out. The use of Alphatron's (or whatever the Diaclone equivalent is) launcher as foot made me splutter... :lol:

is that actually going to be turned into a foot, or is it just there for S&G?

The foot actually works well with the KO Police car. I would love to get another one and make it work. It reminds me of the G1 Defensor feet. I may not be using the KO car though. I think I should go with Prowl, I just don't have one right now. I also need to get another Skids, because I'm going to finish the one in the pic as Rodimus Prime and put him on the shelf with my other RPrimes.

Thanks Dak. I was hoping for something different. That seems to be the only style I can find. Thanks anyway.
