hehehe well, I kinda imagined it as an infirmary for hook to have to work in or something :lol:

And yes, that is indeed a spacebridge

Spacechoochoo, check. you seem to have caught all but one of the small details.

Not bad, but how do his knees bend?

by **rhinox555** » Wed Oct 24, 2007 8:25 am

is all i can say.

that seriously kicks arse.

by **gawd6sic6** » Wed Oct 24, 2007 10:02 am

it is very sweet! but i agree with the few that said the knees need something...

you have this huge hulking bot with tiny knees... maybe something you can make from styrene that slips over the area before you combine them? i dunno..but i think thats the only thing its lacking.. other than that.. VERY well done!

Awesome

It`s a lot better than a original

WOW just WOW :shock:

Amazing man, the knees do look odd, but he seems to stand pretty stable and looks incredible overall. Eventually I'll get my own done.

by **REDLINE** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 1:30 am

thanks for the comments guys

I realize the knees arent' the greatest, but I wanted to have as few extra parts as possible, and as minimal an impact on the individual bots as possible too. considering that this is the first time I've ventured beyond head changing and repainting, I think I did the best I could. That's not to say that someday I may come back to this and improve on these less-than-stellar knees. *L*

Here's the last pictures. I promised posed shots to show that he is indeed articulated, so here you go. I also included a couple of over-looked shots that show how the head can attach as well as how he can hold the hotrod gun.

Dude, his knees are those little black revoltech looking balls. They bend the proper direction.

by **TM chaosbringer** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 4:45 am

love what you did with everything

hate those knees

by **rhinox555** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 9:40 am

the knees are revoltech joints right?
They should be able to hold menasor's weight.
The hands look like RID prime hands to me.
Also: what the hell is he doing to grimlock in that pic? :shock:

by **REDLINE** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 10:59 pm

in the process of throwing him.

by **rhinox555** » Fri Oct 26, 2007 7:05 am

oh,cool.

by **Nemesis Sturmvogel** » Fri Oct 26, 2007 1:02 pm

I Love the result of this project.

If i have to guess the head comes from a Supreme Starscream and hands are from R.I.D. Omega Prime

by **rhinox555** » Fri Oct 26, 2007 2:28 pm

well,the head is indeed obvioulsy S-SS (in fact,i think he mentioned it earlier)
I'm not sure 'bout the hands,they are indeed Some r.i.d. Prime,just not sure about optimus or omega.

by **TM Devastator** » Fri Oct 26, 2007 4:38 pm

As I've told you before, bitchin' work Redline. You did an amazing job with this guy. I especially love the paint.

As for Grimlock, at first I thought that he was turned into some sort of funky weapon, heh!

Rhinox: Those are the Omega Prime hands that come with RiD Ultra Magnus.

by **rhinox555** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 5:51 am

Ok,i don't own RID magnus,so i couldn't quite see.

by **REDLINE** » Sun Oct 28, 2007 2:39 am

thanks so much for the response, guys

as much time and work went into him, its awesome to not have it feel wasted in failure hehehe

by **ptitvite** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 8:39 pm

Geez he is big! How tall? these are Revoltech joints right?
Are you satisfied with them?
Anyhoo, this is awesome and you succeeded with a project that had
a high degree of difficulty.
I watched the thread but it became hard to follow so I had'nt seen the combined mode.

by **REDLINE** » Wed Nov 14, 2007 6:49 pm

he's every bit of 14" tall. the horns on his helmet are higher than the planet shells on the back of Primus

The revoltech joints hold him up surprisingly well. I actually have a set of them that are a size bigger than the ones I went with, but I was trying to minimize the impact of the combiner stuff on the individual robots and their alt modes.

And thanks for the compliments

I love where you're going with your Devy 2.0. You can sure make a combiner mode look better when you aren't worried about parts lying around if you ever separate them.
