Holy crap I'm on here. Definitely did NOT see that coming lol.

My wee touch ups pale in comparison to that menasor though. That's very impressive.

Incredible. Just about speechless here. Great job on everything! :APPLAUSE:

by **Heckfire** » Sun Jun 03, 2012 1:37 am

Wow, I actually made the list? :grin:

Ordinarily, I'd accuse a slow week, but there are some AWESOME customs and mods here, so I'll just attribute my inclusion to there being a LOT of ROTF Skids in need of repurposing out there...

EVERYBODY makes the list. There are absolutely NO exclusions.

I sit here every Sunday afternoon (for me) and open up every thread that's been started in the last week and include them all.

Everybody should be featured, everybody should be encouraged.

I would totally take the Cliffjumper, Orion Pax, add-on for Grapple, and the second Menasor. All of them were well done. :APPLAUSE:

Whoa, you're just awesome that way. I couldn't sit here that long w/out ADHD kicking in.

Great job on the Orion Pax. I cant even tell it's been painted. Im thinking it's only a matter of time before e-hobby jumps on this repaint. Im suprised they didnt put him in the 3 pack with scrap-heap and blue Rodimus.

And I love the Tap-Out idea. I got a RTS Bee head from when I custom painted a Cliffjumper. (now Chase) I plan on doing the swap to my Skids. Did you paint the bee head or is theyre actually a cheap green KO Bumblebee out there ???

Before KO toys basically got shut down you could just about any figure painted in any color..I got a huge box of junkers that I plan on using evnetually and some of them are wild colors, BB is teal, orange and turqouise etc etc and some wild seekers as well..

For people looking to make tap-out from rotf skids.

If Bumblebees are too expensive, there are always the beelzeboss red & yellow cliffjumper add-on heads. (tap-out does use a cliffjumper head, not a BB head.)

I like the Orion Pax, I made one as well, but used a customized head.
Their's has better (more cartoony colors)where mine would only have a better head. I'll try and get it in the next round-up if possible. :HEADHURTS:

Oh, sure, take away my moment of feeling special...LMAO

Seriously though, good on you, man. It's good to give EVERBODY encouragement. Most places, my "pinched-penny mods" go over like a bowl of warm spit, so it's nice to get some recognition.

I got it from a KO Skids I found at a mall flea market store a year ago that I bought specifically to DO this mod then forgot about it until a couple weeks ago. I THOUGHT I'd kept the backing for it, it had a friggin' hilarious "smiley ROTF Autobot symbol" on it and the other KOs in its line had really cracked-out names, but I can't find it now, dammit.
