AARRGGHH!!! She's still listed as a basic! I'm only joking! I know that you must be really busy, so you'll make her an ultra whenever you get time. I'm only joking around .

Thanks again for all of your help and support, Iskander.

Since I assume she'll be heavily modified, I'll remove her from the list for now, but don't worry, once you post about her new version I'll repost her.

I'm not really skilled enough to "heavily modify" her. I added a real visor and real symbols, but other than that, she's really done. There's nothing more I can do for her. My disk wasn't working well for some reason; so I was only able to put her "Reformers" robot mode pic up with the real visor. So...

I know that you really wanted more out of the figure, Iskander, but unfortunately I'm not Hasbro. I'm really new at kitbashing, and my skills are less than optimal. I paint with a heavy hand, and I make custom pieces out of hard-to-sculpt hardening clay. I really can't give her anything like new boots because either they'll be too big or too weak.

When fourth_heir gets done with my drawing of her, you'll see that this was enough figure to get the general idea across: She's a hottie in her Ref. mode, and a devil in her Mach. mode.

Think of G1 Megatron. In the cartoon, he was cool. He looked great! But the toy was...well, not so great. It transformed horribly, and the face was all wrong. But still, the Japanese animators got the point, and made a correct Anime version for the series.

Perhaps if I do another figure, I'll post WIP pics and ask for suggestions and do better on my paint and custom pieces. Until then, I'm going to have to use this as the final version of Delphinia.

Thanks,

MS, you should really check TFmaster's last message at this topic: http://www.tfmaster.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1800&start=160

Well, the point in more modern TFs comics and animations is to try and make the toys and the comic designs the more similar they can be, I'm sure all agree we are trying to do the same here.

Well, I've started a new Delphinia figure. As you know, Iskander, it's a combiner, made from Delphie (Energon Inferno), and Einia (Energon Tow-Line). Although they are powerlinking, it will be called combining due to this form of powerlinking not existing on the planet of Transtopia. I've also taken the old Delphinia bio and changed it so it could accomidate the two new bios of Delphie and Einia. All three are listed where the old one was. Here's a link:

And for anyone else viewing this, a link to the WIP pics of the two toys is below:

Thanks, and I look for to your feedback in the corresponding forums.

Quick question. Are there still openings for people to jump in on this thing? I know I couldn't get a figure ready for Wave One, but I'd love to get somebody into Wave Two.

Sure, let us know about what are you planning.

That sounds cool. My figures are probably going to be part of Wave 2 as well, so it looks like Wave 2 already has a good start.

Are these combiners? Or are these just a group kind of like the Wreckers from War Within and G1?

I, personally, like the names...especially Geostigma...really original.

yes they are a 4 member combiner, factions being the machine

sweet! we get a combiner.

now we need one of the machine generals to quote ash from army of darkness

"you aint got nothin but jack and ****, and jack left town."

How about:

"You ain't got nothing but Unicron and slag, and Unicron left town."

Or how about replacing Jack with Jackshot?

Guys i was just kidding. If you can think of something that'd work like that I'm sure it would be funny

Just added the Geostigma team to the list, man, the Reformers are in serious trouble now.

What's with this "Jack" thing? I don't get it

It's a quote from the movie Ash Vs the Army of Darkness. It's a cheasy scifi comedy. And sequal to the movies the evil dead one and two.

A must see.

here's a link to a trailer.

Something tells me there need to be Reformers. But it is interesting to have a line in which the bad guys outnumber the good guys.

out number and overpowered you mean.

I had an idea for a combiner that might work for the reformers if someone else has the money and time to build them.

I was thinking of getting four of the enrgon bulldozer combiner limbs (same color) and then rig the new cybertron landmine with combiner posts and paint him to match the 4 limbs.

Could call him shovel king or some other goofball name. That or you can all wait forme to finish my designs for energon computron.
scattershot will just be a slightly altered stormjet with a diffrent combined head. Strafe will be made from a treadshot (designs finished) thinking of making afterburner and light speed from two of the cybertron basics (the motorcycle and the blue and yellow car) and nose cone is just a bulldozer with the wheels cut off and the shovel replaced with a drill. I'll grab a set of treads of one of the combaticon tanks and just attach them to the bulldozers back wheel flaps that fold out for the robot mode.

Yeah yeah, I've seen it, it's the one with the skeletons army isn't it? I liked that scene, because it was kinda like a homage to the Jason & the Argonauts movie.

I just didn't got the relation with the Geostigma characters.

Yeah, it was one of the ideas in the original character list.

Now thats an idea I like to see taken in practise , sounds very cool.

If you want to fund it I'd be happy to build it. Later ofcourse.
I also have designs for and energon predaking
